Haha this is the convention for men lacking confidence. Jeaston sir, there is nothing wrong or weird sounding about having to take a dance class. But MMA, you are only 16, so much life in you left! Guess what, I'm 19, still a virgin, still saved my first kiss. Hugging... well I lost count of that =). No, it really wasn't an issue about getting a girl, I just wanted to stay true to myself and find somebody that will mean something to me. Yes, it is all about confidence, women have some sort of radar that can sense your uneasiness and lack of confidence. I still have a lot of low self esteem issues from the past, but when it comes to socializing now, I just barge in there when I'm in the mood and talk like it was destined to be. My trick I guess is, you know how whenever you are considering talking to some girls, whoever, and you suddenly feel that freeze that gives you second doubts and nervousness that usually whispers "oh man, they are going to think I'm an idiot" (this is what I feel at least), I just shove all that aside and go F it, I'm going in. Ask more questions (important ones though) then talking about yourself though, girls love a listener. But don't suddenly barge in with questions that don't pertain to the situation. I gained my self confidence with the help of meeting my lovable girl friends actually. They assured me of a lot of issues I had such as my looks. Turns out I'm not ugly haha. Good luck to you sir, don't let people get to you with bull about being chinese or nerdy, like everybody else here said, there is somebody for everybody, just a matter of whether or not you will be confident enough to seek them.
