Yep, that's my problem. I am ashamed of saying that i need someone/love/a girlfriend.
With the girls, I can't go for a kiss even if they make it clear that they like me too.

I have no problem to invite them for a coffee or a tea, or even flirt a bit and make them feel attraction.
My problem is going through the next step, stating that I am interested in being more of a friend, and actually being more of a friend. I am in a process of getting free from this problem so I thought you might help me here.

I think I am actually afraid or even ashamed to state that I need affection, that I need a girlfriend, or that I like a girl. This is so holding me back. There was this girl I liked and she liked me too. She made clear statements of interest but I was just not able to make a move. Now it is clear that she is dissapointed with me and she moved on.
I move on too, but I want to learn from that, especially since it is not the first time that this happens to me (I blew quite a lot of occasions before). In a kind of selfish way I am too proud to show i need someone. And it makes me so timid.
Anyone has overcome the same kind of problems?
any suggestions that might help me?

Friends and girlfriends (especially girlfriends) are the area of my life I need to work on the most for now.
