I've recently been kicked out of my school for attempting to commit suicide. Unfortunately this means I've lost contact with a good deal of people. I've decided to ask this girl out who I quite like (well, I've asked my parents if they can arrange something... I guess I'm a coward). The last time I was in a relationship, it ended up being with a certifiably insane girl who was abusive, and ended with her throwing me down the stairs.
Needless to say, I'm a bit apprehensive about trying again. However, I'm just so nervous to actually talk to someone.
I don't know why I even bothered posting this. I guess I just need to get it off my chest.

Don't give up. Believe in yourself and be good to yourself. You deserve to have a relationship with a good person. You can do it. They are just people. Find one who interests you and just talk to her. If she doesn't want to talk or loses interest then, move on and find another. Don't let negative feelings rule your life. Keep searching.

Are you in therapy to find out why you attempted suicide ??? Please get to the bottom on that before you begin looking for a relationship.

I have been in therapy for some time now, and I'm not attempting to take this to a super-serious level right now.

Nervousness is a huge fear that loads of people have when talking mate. It's totally normal. The best way to go about things is to jump out there and do it. Create a dating profile, chat to a girl, and go out for coffee.

Just something super casual. If your nerves get the better of you, its ok as its just a coffee date. Go home and reflect and learn on it for next time.

I have pretty awful anxiety too and the best way to work at it is to slowly introduce yourself to what scares you.

Start casual and see how it goes. You can always step back if things don't go well

Sounds good.

I also am looking for a casual friend just to hang out with and chat. For me I don't know that I ever want a serious relationship again but if something were to develop that was special and the person was trustworthy maybe....

For me it is hard to find activities to do with friends that don't cost money. Have you had any luck finding inexpensive activities yet?
