This is funny for me to read, because I've been pretty shy all my life, and I've been through all of that and then some. Anyway, even though you haven't explicetly asked for it, I'll give you my two cents of advice on this just for your own future reference.

Firstly, put yourself in the other persons shoes and ask yourself if you would want to be with someone who constantly doubts themself. Remember that shy can be cute to girls in doses, but not all the time. Females and Males alike, generally like to be around someone who is confident about themself, and who doesn't always put them on a pedestal. Most good relationships happen when man and woman can stand as equals and have a good friendship. Believe me, if you are looking for some kind of long term relationship, it's not going to fall into place all of a sudden. I fell in real love for the first time when I was 16 years old, but I like you was shy and didn't know how to handle it. I was always so concerned with how I should act or whether or not she liked me more than someone else, that I let our friendship slip away. That cost me one potential love, but I managed to regain my friendship luckily. Anyway, the point is, is that being shy often times equates to low self image, and that equals bad news for you. Forget what you belive about your limitations. You are stuck with who you are, and you will have to make the best of that. Will every girl want you? No. But not every girl wants to be with Tom Cruise either. Quite a few maybe, but not all of them. Just be confident in yourself, and if you feel you can better yourself in an area, then by all means go for it. But let her know that you are worthy of her, because she is worthy of you. Equality. Of course if you're looking for a quicky in and out, then forget all that and just be overly self confident and make her laugh. Anyway, you're only 16 and have lots of time to figure your life out.

Oh yeah and for my worst mistake with a girl... I unintentionally manipulated a married woman into breaking up with her boyfriend.... who she cheated on her husband with.... and being with me instead. I don't really feel too bad about that though. She was obviously not the commitment type.
