As about high school, high school was over 10 years ago for you . You are out of high school.

Come think of it I was asked out once by a 70 year old when I was maybe 35 the most. I politely declined as I was not interested but it never occurred to me to laugh

Ok, when I said being "laughed at" I didn't necessarily mean laughed it like hahaha funny, I meant more like them finding it really weird. It's hard to explain. Maybe I am totally wrong and it is an irrational fear, but I just have this sense that it is only normal for a guy to ask out a girl when he is meets some set of criteria where he is fit to be dating her. It is not just my age, I have had doubts that my physical appearance, my personality, my life experience, my interests, even my ethnic background, make me unsuited to ask girls out. Again, it is an abstract feeling that is hard to explain.
