What do you do if you are a preteen or teenager that is awkward with dating?

I used to be "popular" but very awkward about asking girls out. I finally got thw courage to kiss her at a party. After that eveeything was easier. My advice ia if you kiss or ask out the girk you like mabye you will gain some confidense.

I guess the same goes for girls be confident in yourself and make thw move on the guy you like
