I know this is a group for people with anxiety, but I'm posting here even though I don't because I can't really find anywhere else. (This would just be buried at the bottom of r/askreddit)

I [M17] really like this girl. We've been texting back and forth, and talk when we can during school,and have gotten to know each other fairly well. I really want to ask her out and try to pursue a relationship. The thing is, she has severe social anxiety, and so I'm not really sure how to approach it. I understand that it could be very... I'm not quit sure how to word it. But I really don't want to have her be nervous or uncomfortable around me. I have already made it clear that I would gladly do whatever it takes to help, but I'm not really sure what I can do.To make it slightly more complicated, this would also be the first time I try to pursue a real relationship, so I wouldn't know how to approach her if she didn't have anxiety. I'm just stuck. If any of you fine people could help, I'd be so grateful.
