Word of advice from a fellow socially awkward (at times) regular schmoe. It's ok to get rejected, learn to accept and be cool with it. Not everyone will like you back that way and that's just you accepting reality. By accepting it, it stops being something that will feel like the end of the world. I practice by talking to people I'm dealing with, like waiters, baristas, bartenders, stylists. You get used to the flow of conversation and coming up with stuff on the spot. You get used to it and better at it. You realize it's easier to talk to people in general (even ones you're attracted to) without being so awkward about it. And you realize looks only go so far. An average looking person who is confident, can make others laugh and feel good just by talking to them are way more successful, not just with scoring but with people getting in their corner.
