Risking rejection can feel scary - for all of us.
But bear in mind just because a woman may turn you down does not mean she thinks you are 'below her level' - there are many reasons she may say no which have very little to do with you.
Even if she was looking down on you which seems to be your big fear - sure, that would not be nice, but why would one persons opinion matter so much? By law of averages many others would disagree with her.
