KanadianKrippler,
Sometimes you just have to put yourself out there and see what happens. There are girls that will make the first move (I asked my husband on our first date), but I think socially girls still expect the guys to do the asking. I'm not sure that this is going to change anytime soon, it's been the "guy's role" for a very long time. Being shy can be difficult to overcome. I'm not really one to give advice on how to get past it, as I don't really have a shy bone in my body
. The suggestion I can give is try to relax, be yourself, and if you do start talking with someone, make sure to listen to what she says - it could come in handy later.
