It probably doesn't make sense, but when it comes to me as a martial artist or me as a scientist, I have a lot of confidence. But when it comes to the mere mention of a romantic relationship, my confidence flies south for the winter. Let's just say my past experiences haven't exactly been good indicators that I'm wrong in any way for my assertion. I'd rather just focus on the stuff I do have confidence in and just ignore the other stuff.

But anyways, getting off from me. If it helps at all, you should try to make a sort of challenge set for yourself. Go to certain places with the intention to speak to a girl, in a certain way. Like, one day, challenge yourself to hold her attention for at least 10 minutes. I'm not suggesting to use this as a chance to pimp out, but this relates to your goal to challenge yourself and to build up your confidence.
