<human>: I'm a 17 year old male and I'll be a senior this fall. I've always been the one to be asked out, and all of those relationships (read: 5ish, none lasting more than a month) have been ridiculously dramatic due to her high expectations and my low self esteem -- girls would approach me, be very obvious about their intentions, and come onto me, while I would go along with it because... well, why not? Haha. 

Anyway, I've thought a lot about continuing those petty, dramatic relationships a lot and I've decided to stop and unleash my man raptor and get a girl by myself. The thing is, I have no idea how to go about doing that -- I don't know how to properly flirt, I don't know what "asking out" is, I don't know how to break the physical barrier, I don't know how to make the first move, and so forth. How do I show a girl that I want to be more than friends?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I want to have more than just a friendship with a girl, and I have no idea of how to go about doing so.
