Dating Dilemma of a shy guy

Hi guys. My life is messed up. I feel like a loser when it comes to have girlfriend. Can’t tell you the trauma I go through when I see all my friends going out on date with the girls they meet at bars and pubs .you will usually find me sitting in a corner with my drink and feeling miserable on my self.  I am not bad looking, am quite affable and caring in nature too, but because of my shyness I won’t able to approach any girl or talk face- -to-face to them if someone approaches me.
 
  I feel really embarrassed before my friends. Some of my friends even tried to arrange a blind date for me, but it never seemed to work out.  If I am remember, last time I dated was may be more than three years ago. But it’s high time to try for dating.  I need to get rid of my shyness. I don’t want to be labeled as the guy who never gets a date, that’s kind of too upsetting.

So guys, tonight I am going out on a date with a girl my friend dated a couple of moths back. It’s a blind date as I have never met this girl. I’m too nervous; this date has to go well.  I need to find a girl that I can say I’m dating, that I can say I am going steady with. I’m tired of always being the left out one when my friends and I go out.  So every body, please wish me luck!
