I've been out of the dating game for around a decade. I was married but she passed away and I've bene emotionally stunted since then. I saw this cute girl at church but i have absolutely no clue what to do next? And the news cycle (Poal isnt helping here, taking in so much negative news is very bad for the psyche) gives me this negative reinforcement that asking her out would end in a disaster

If you have to ask then you're already fucked.

Either you meet someone and you click, or you're already a skilled conversationalist and have no issues chatting with strangers.

You have nothing but my sympathies; I'm completely clued out when it comes to chatting up girls. I have no idea how I managed to attract the interest of my wife in the first place.

Say "Hello" to her and hope she picks up the ball. Don't jump into the deep end by asking her on a date right off. Try to build up some rapport first. Good luck.

I'm really good at getting them but not so much at keeping them. I got 5 kids by 3 women. Stop worrying about whether you'll get married or not and just be exciting and fun to be around. Tease and make jokes. Put yourself out there. The rest will work itself out.

Don't jump into the deep end by asking her out on a date right off the bat.

This is horrible advice. Be very clear about intentions and do not shy away from asking if she'd prefer to have your number or give you hers,

Just ask if she's available first. It isn't difficult.

I knew a couple of guys who asked "Wanna fuck?" right out of the gate. It worked better than you'd think.

It's a simple reason, actually - women like men that are confident and not afraid to speak their mind. I'd bet they were women with low self-esteem, frankly, but it isn't surprising that it would work, especially if she was drunk and lonely.

Being very direct, although I would suggest "wanna fuck?", is the best approach.
