I saw this thread and thought it was about me
But in seriousness, welcome to the forum. Hopefully things work out for you. My observations have been that the guys who are most able to do the following two things tend to have the most improvement:
1) Put a lot of work into this. Its gonna take a while. Just accept that like mastering any worthwhile skill, this is going to be a bit of a journey and you are going to have to put some hours in. I suggest starting a journal in the Field Reports section and making daily updates. Try to approach one girl a day and that way you will always have something to post about. But even if you don't do an approach on a particular day, you can still post to ruminate some, to talk about how you are feeling, what observations you've made, etc...
2) Put themselves into uncomfortable situations. AKA show some balls. If you get far enough with this you'll see the getting good with girls requires some very bold moves. Most guys will trip up on some anxiety. Its the ones that refuse to quit and find ways to eliminate their fears that get somewhere.
Good luck. Cool Name.
