This thread and the random girl in a mall thread reminded me of a kid I knew in high school. Greg was born with spina bifida, came from a poor, dysfunctional home, was wheelchair bound and had underdeveloped legs. A group of us happened to run (roll) into each other at the local mall, including a girl named Terri. As we were all talking about whatever - probably Oingo Boingo or WHAM! (who knew?) - this guy, who has every reason to be shy, unsure, insecure, looked up at Terri and said in a casualness matched only by Roger Moore as James Bond, "so when're we going out?"
Not only was Terri not repelled, she was flustered and giggled.
So, c'mon. If that guy could pull it off while still in high school, you should have no problem.
