The foriegn women thing is probably a big problem waiting to happen. You don't need more problems unless you feel you have a shortage of problems and need to make more.
What I want you to do is go to a mall and start introducing yourself and shaking hands with everyone there. I want you to do this until NOTHING about it bothers you or makes you feel unconfortable in any way.
You are probably never going to see these people again so it doesn't matter. Meet everyone including attractive women, ask no one out you are just introducing yourself to people. If someone asks what you are doing tell them meeting new people makes you feel self conscious and a little unconfortable so you decided to come to the mall and meet people until it doesn't bother you. (when I did this a long time ago, only one person asked me, and his comment after I told him was, "That's a fantastic idea").
Now you can do this at bars, parties, school events, meetings where ever attractive women get together. First all the introductions without regard to gender or attractiveness, then after you can try "Can I buy you a drink?, "Would you like to dance?" etc. with the girls you find attractive. BTW if an attractive girl says no, since you know every person in the bar, tell her "If you see someone you'd like to meet, I'd be happy to introduce you." Lad, this is called building karma and it will come around.
If you are still afraid of attractive girls (evidenced by total no's), you are unconfortable, that makes them unconfortable so they say no. Go out and target attractive girls, introduce yourself, and say "I'm going to ask a question, please say no. Would you like to go on a date? After the no say thanks. If asked explain you are apprehensive about asking a very pretty girl you kind of know out, so wanted to practice and you were the most attractive girl/women around. If a group of girls, ask each and tell them all they are attractive. Building karma.
This should help you out. Get started right now!
Happy New Year.
