Hey /adv/, over the last two years I've been trying my luck at dating, and time after time I've felt that the person I originally liked when I asked them out initially, made me lose my interest.
I've been through this cycle eleven times now. It is terrible because it's like I subconsciously ghost people without giving it a minute of thought. Many of the people I've asked out have been kind and pretty, but I just lost the feeling of connection and left it as it was.
It's different this time though. This girl recently moved into my town and she's driving me crazy. I've met her at four or so parties now, and it makes me jealous to see her talk with others when I know I should just ask her out, but I just can't bring myself to doing it out of fear of ghosting her too.
I want it to work this time, what do I do /adv/?
Try to get to know her more first. Talk to her, approach with friendly intentions instead of rushing into dating. I don't think it's strange at all to not find every girl you meet someone you want to date if you have even some standards, so it's not that weird you often lose interest when you actually get to know them. So, try and do that first. If she really is right for you long term, you'll enjoy her company and start liking her more as you learn more about her, instead of losing interest.
I've already spent some time talking to her, her friends etc. It's not uncommon for me to meet her every second day or so. I think talking to her at the parties I met her at (thanks to Dutch courage) got me past the initial wall of getting to know people, hence my excitement about her.
As far as I've been told by her friends, she likes me, but this is again where I am afraid that I'll fuck it up on my own accord by ghosting unintentionally.
I honestly feel like I'm straight out of /r9k when it comes to this specific social skill

Normie or not, I'm here because I'm stuck in a hole and need some outside perspective on the situation

Use sacred male rule:
>fake it until you make it
In dating scene, just pretend you like her and force yourself to spend time with her. We boys often do things just because we are used to them. After a while she will either make you mad and you break up, or you realize you cant live without her anymore.
Easy?
