Ill start off by saying im 26 and never been in a relationship, Im what you would call a large man and have had a pile of rejection, and in all honesty am tired of being alone.  
 
So, probably like many other 18 - 30 year old men, ive never had that great of time with relationships. In the words of a major league pitching coach he would say I'm "An amazing opener, terrible Closer."  
Meaning i can talk to women no problem, also i have charisma coming out my yang, i have no problems drawing a crowd and entertaining them, but when it comes to either asking women out on a date, or ultimitly becoming an item, i have no experience whatsoever, why you might ask well 1. I feel like the book on how to live that i mysteriously have lodged in my brain has had the chapter on women torn out. 2. when i was in highschool, you know the supposed glory days all i wanted to do was have a good time and had no time for ladies, but now that im older and ill be frank wiser. I long for the companionship of a lady, espicially since most of my buddies are married or have "old ladys"  
 
Now at the same time the last girl i asked if she would ever date me gave me the "we're just really good friends" line, and what boggles me is if were such great friends wtf, is stopping us from becoming a couple, and getting more intimate. Now ill stop myself here to mention this I like, all other guys want sex in a relationship, but here is the kicker i dont want to have a relationship totally based around it.  
 
Getting to my topic line I'll ask this is there some new trick to asking someone out, or to be your girlfriend, or am i just letting my physical appearance hold me back? Also im kinda old school, chivalry if it still exists is a big deal to me, err gods im rambling now its late, if anyone in brandon can lend me some guidance it would be appreciated to end!
