I started dating my wife when we were both in high school so I'm lucky that I never had to try to start dating in my 20s. But when I was in high school asking out a girl was as simple as walking up and saying "do you want to go out with me?"

I asked out girls that I KNEW there was a 99% chance they'd say no, but I asked anyways. The worst they ever said was "no". Nobody ever laughed in my face or told all their friends or spread rumors about me, they just said no thank you and I moved on.

This was like 2009-2013 mind you; I think young people are a lot more cruel now than they were then.

Young people were every fucking bit as cruel back then. Source: same age bracket as you and was bullied nearly to suicide

+1. In addition, schools frequently side with the bully because it is easier to deal with a victim's parents than a bully's parents.

Also bullying is an informal form of social control they don't have to do themselves nor take responsibly for unless it involves serious physical violence.

People say kids these days are somewhat nicer than generations past.
