How do you guys find the confidence to hit on women?

I've been in two relationships since transitioning. The first girl cried and felt lied to when I told her I was trans and then eventually didn't care. The second girl found out before I could tell her and accepted it immediately, though. There's a girl who works at a store that I go to frequently. She has seen my ID so I'm going to assume she saw the F on it. She might've not even noticed, though. I have sensed attraction from her before but it could just be in my head. I've been very wrong about women being attracted to me before. I really want to ask her out but I always get too insecure that I'm not "man" enough. This is partly because of the way my two relationships ended. All summer long I have talked myself out of asking for her number. I guess I just feel like I'm at a point where I can't compete with biological men. How do you guys cope with thoughts like these? I want to ask for her number tomorrow. I don't want to talk myself out of it.

Also - she makes me INCREDIBLY nervous. My hands actually shake and I have a HUGE smile when I'm talking to her. I'm pretty sure she can tell that I have a crush on her. I'm hoping she isn't the type of girl who can tell she makes me nervous and enjoys it but isn't interested in me. I guess I won't know until I ask her, though.

I don't usually hit on girls. It's the girls that hit on me. This is very fun for me because when I was presenting female no one hit on me (boys or girls). But, when I started to present as male, girls were always giving me second glances and smiling. It's a nice change for me. I like girls so when I was presenting female and no boys hit on me I was more than okay with it. As far as hitting on girls go, I keep it simple, smile and girls usually start the talking...if they are interested they have no problems asking me for my number. lol Just be yourself and you should be fine. Good luck!

you can't let prior relationships or even experiences get in your way of moving forward and potentially meeting new people/girls. i know it is hard to get out of the mind set where it is like..why would she like me when she could have a cis male? or thinking there is something wrong with you because you're trans (especially if your relationships ended because of this). the only thing you can do really is just ask her. start a convo with her, say hi, ask how her day is going then just go "so i was wondering, would it be too much if i asked for your number?" if she says no, then it's cool and you move on. if she says yes then hell yeah! you won't know until you take that chance. especially someone who makes you nervous like that, i feel it is important to take those risks even if it gets you rejected. all you need to know is it might not even be you, and even if it is then it is her loss and would you really want to be with someone who didn't appreciate you or accept you for you or w/e else? nah.
