It’s not always easy to be smooth, especially when you fancy someone. Sure, you’re a smart, successful, intelligent person. Probably. But that doesn’t mean you’re even SLIGHTLY capable of talking to someone you think is fit. You crumble. You choke. You say the very worst thing you could possibly say at any given moment.
Good news, though: you are not alone! Other people are also totally shit at talking to anyone they want to have sex with!
