Well, I’ve never asked anybody out, yet I am seventeen with raging hormones, so I’m going to have to say yes to this. I particularly like that the question specifies fear of failing; I know that there is a limit to how bad rejection could be, and very little limit to how great the rewards of success could be, yet I hold back, because I do not want to suffer such a blow to my self-esteem. But I think I have come to the point where I know that I need to make the leap, if only so that it might be easier to make it again.
