Why am I cursed with the inability to talk to girls I like?

With any other girl I can start up a conversation almost instantly. I can be confident and make them laugh and flirt with me, but once I try to talk to that girl I really like, I turn into a boring, dry, nervous train-wreck. I can't approach her without over thinking it or psyching myself out of talking to her. I can talk to her over the phone fine, but it seems that face to face conversation makes me nervous and not know what to say. I also get extremely jealous if I see her talking/flirting with any other guy and I start to dislike her for it, even though it's not her fault. I know it's extremely irrational to think that, but I usually forget about it soon after. I would love nothing more than to ask her out, but I can't if she thinks I'm socially incompetent and can't keep an interesting conversation going with her. I wake up every morning with my mind made up that I'll ask her out today, but when I finally see her, I don't nothing, for a reason I can't explain.

    ahah awh

    idk why guys get like this, there was a guy I had a thing with but he was super shy and it made me nervous and feel like I had to do all the talking and he made me feeling kind of uncomfortable because of how awkward things would be an once I was standing alone and he was like 4 feet away from me and he wouldn't come up and talk to me and I felt super awkward and I know he liked me because he asked me to homecoming so my other guy friend came up and said hi and made me feel better. honestly you shouldn't feel shy because the girl is probably nervous too. just breath an relax and try to make her feel comfortable but don't be creepy just be approachable(:

    oh and I think you should ask her out(: just go up to her its better if she is alone and say will you be my girlfriend I hope things go well (: but honestly maybe you should try talking to her more first before you ask her especially If you don't know each other that well yet!(:

    Because you think they're better than you. We all have the same problem. You just need to work on your overall confidence and then it will be easier for you.

    You're not cursed. I think your just embarresed. Try to use your pillow and pretend it is a girl you like. All hopes for the best.
