Crush'tastic'

I got to admit I got this inspiration from another post I read.  I have a crush on a girl.  She will remain nameless so I can keep my sanity and so people who may know her wont run and tell her.  I always seem to get crushes and have them and have them and have them.  The problem is I get them and then never ever do anything about them or I find some stupid flaw in the girl to keep myself from doing something.  What is that?  I have no idea.  Most of you know me and my personality I think is outgoing and fun.  But when it comes to girls I am as shy as they come.  I hate rejection.  I always think of the consequences that may come about.  Will we still be friends?  I need to get past this but how the heck do I do it?  I mean I'm 28 I should be able to ask a girl out without fearing losing a friendship right.  Even if that friendship is really new.  Help me out.  What to do oh what to do?
