I managed to do it, and you can too.

So I (14M) recently got a girlfriend. I’ve posted a few tips on here and I would urge you all to find them if you haven’t read them already. One key point of advice i’d like to add is to just have some confidence. Be bold. Here is how I did it so you guys can get an idea of how it could go down.
She friended me on snap from here suggested friends list a few weeks back and we started talking for one evening. We seemed to hit it off really well. After that it completely stopped for a couple weeks. Then one day, about a week ago, on her story she posted something about her and her friend manifesting boyfriends. That was my chance. I replied to it, and pretty much said “will you go out with me?” My heart was beating out of my chest this whole time, since this was my first time doing something bold like this. And it paid off. At first it was a little wobbly. She said she wanted to get to know each other more, and so we stayed up late just chatting. Eventually, after talking more, she fell for me. And now we are officially dating. Funny how things work out, huh?
Here are a few minor details that helped my particular situation work, which could differentiate it from yours.
-She’s not exactly 10/10. Which is fine, and I think she’s beautiful which is all that matters.
-I have a lot of green flags. I play football, and am quite strong. (Not that the muscles show very well bc i’m also pretty big) I also do a lot of volunteer work and things like that.
Those are just a few things that could make our situations different. Below I will type out a few key takeaways and advice from this, along with some dos and don’ts.

-Not every girl is like this. I’ve been told by some mutual acquaintances that she is always clingy and lovey like that.
-Know your limits. If she is totally out of your league, then chances are she probably won’t say yes. I would recommend that you lower your standards.
-Don’t be afraid to get rejected. It will most likely hurt, but it’s better to ask and get rejected than to not ask and regret it later.
-Try not to hide behind a screen. I know I did, but that’s just how it worked out. We don’t go to the same school so I couldn’t have anyway.
-Take it slow. What I did was bold. A little too bold. Lucky for me, she likes to take it quick too. (Not gonna elaborate much into that, but lets just say we’re already nearing tier 15 if anyone gets that reference)

That’s everything I could think of. If there are any questions, comment them and I will get back to you soon.
