Search Results: girl he liked had a lot of problems

Okay, so been seeing posts time from time for a little bit before making this account, and afterwards as well, and I kinda just want to ask what few problems people seem to have about trans people here. Like genuinely, they're just living their lives and y'all have weirdly creepy and antagonistic remarks about them from time to time, see it a lot with guys more than girls.

With that out of the way let's ask for a general consensus on top of that, cause honestly it seems to only be fringe group of people, but I at the very least need to see some sort of perspective and reasoning here, cause so far I can't wrap my head around the hate.

Right now, there are a lot of guys who are left out of dating/romance. I believe in 2018 it was estimated that 28% of males viewed themselves as sexless under the age of 30. And this was before covid-19 pandemic, inflation and decrease job opportunities were in place.

I believe at present there are slightly more men than women in this world which gives women leverage in who they can be with. However, during World war period, there was a massive shortage of men so much so that women were the ones chasing men. Girls were being taught how to act like wives/girlfriend and were on their best behavior when it comes to dealing with guys. Now for this effect to happen, women had to outnumber men 2:1.

Do you think if we do a reverse china and cut down on the amount of male children in the world that the gender imbalance in dating could be fixed?

So there's this girl at work I like, but I don't see her very often due to our shifts differing quite a lot. I've had one or two brief conversations with her in real life, which went well I think, but none over text. I have her phone number because we're both in the company groupchat of our local establishment, and I honestly don't want to wait again untill I see her next time, and even then, I might chicken out. It's just so much easier over text, and I know it's a valid approach, so why not do it?

My problem is, would it seem too random/forced if I shoot her message out of nowhere, with no prior text conversation? Should I just immediately ask her out, or start with small talk first? If I start with small talk, what the hell would I even begin with? I have no idea. This is too difficult.

Also, I'm kinda afraid that if I do get rejected, the whole mood at work will be awkward once I share a shift with her again. Is this reason enough to not even go through with it?
