The way I got over it was I stopped trying to find a girlfriend, and started looking at all girls as "just one of the guys." I could joke around with them, talk to them, and feel comfortable around them because I wasn't trying to "find love." Doing that, girls got to know me, and some of them even liked me enough to want to date me. I'd have never had those opportunities if I kept hiding, hoping a girl would sense my desperation and pick me as her mate.

You just need confidence enough to meet girls and not start tripping over your tongue, sweating profusely, and looking like you just ate a hot pepper while having an aneurysm.

If talking to girls in person is too much pressure, there are billions of women on the internet you can e-mail, text or chat with. A lot of them are in your general area too. Makes it easier to start getting to know someone, so you don't feel so clumsy when you meet them.
I think I will stop trying to find a girlfriend for now. I've pretty much given up on finding one at my school because I'm going to graduate soon. I'm just a socially awkward person in general, I'm better at talking to guys than girls but I'm still pretty awkward. I don't really have any friends at all so I will hopefully make some new friends in the future and maybe that'll help me find a girlfriend.
