Dear Felix:

Fear always finds reasons to justify itself: if she will not reject you for your height, she will reject you because your family is not big enough. These are not the only two reasons your fear can come up with, there can easily be other reasons.

Courage puts aside all those reasons and focus on acting in spite of the fear.

Try to calm yourself down with this thought: you do  not have a girlfriend now. If you reach out to her and she rejects you (for any reason!)- you will.. not have a girlfriend.

– You don’t have a girlfriend before you courageously reach out to her; you don’t have a girlfriend after you reach out to her- nothing has changed. Nothing changed except for you exercising courage.

Exercising courage will lessen your fear over time, motivate you to more action, and increase your chances of having a girlfriend some time along the way.
