<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I've had a few girlfriends but those just sort of...happened. I never did anything to seek them out, never had to ask them out. I'm not bad looking and I'm in pretty good shape but I'm just horrendous with new people.

I've been single for almost a year now and today I finally pushed myself to actually try. There was a really cute cashier at CVS and I went back in after I bought my stuff and gave her my number.

Problem is I got so caught up in just speaking to her and was so nervous...I forgot to say pretty much everything I should have.
I forgot to ask her name, forgot to say anything flattering or nice.
I pretty much was just like " Hey, can I give you my number?" and she was just sort of confused and said ok. 
Then I said thanks. 
And immediately left.
<bot>: I'm no good at making that first move. Does anyone have tips beyond just 'keep trying' or practive or whatever?
