I'm pretty sure when you had your first crush, you already thought to yourself something along the lines of "I'm too ugly" or "I'm not good enough for him/her" or "would he/she even like me?" Not just in dating but also in things like applying for a job or meeting new people or friends. We always reject ourselves first before other people get a chance to even reject us. It's human nature to be biased towards negativity, but a number of people don't even try for their deathly fear of rejection.
I remember last year, there was this girl I really admire and had a crush on. At this point, I'm very confident in myself on asking out women, but there are still thoughts that race through my mind. Thoughts like "this girl's too pretty for me" or "I'm probably not her type" raced through my mind, but I still gathered my courage and asked her out. Wouldn't you know it, she actually said yes! (We dated a few times until we realized that things won't work out for us, but that's another story)
So my point is, try it first. We won't know unless we try. When you don't, ask the answer is always no. When you don't try, you'll never know.
So what are you waiting for? Apply for that job, try that new meetup group, ask that person out. Who knows? They might say yes.
