A little help chaps... why would someone who is otherwise supremely confident in pretty much everything (some may say overly so in some aspects), be completely timid in one aspect of his/her life.

Who is she???

This is purely hypothetical...
And if you believe that you'll believe anything...
Let's put it this way (hypothetically of course):
Person A went to an all boys school, then joined the military, then left early (due to injury) and started a male-dominated degree. Hobbies include rugby and shooting stuff (again rather male dominated). As a result of this background, person A has exactly four female numbers out of about 200 in his phone (those four being, for example, his mother, sister, gran and one of his bosses at the company he works for a couple of weeks a year).
Person B is someone who person A was in the same room with once, or maybe twice. Person A is not even sure if he has ever said hello, in real life, to person B. After an odd period of exchanging pleasantries on some social media site, people A/B spend one night 'chatting' until 5am... After which, person B sends person A a message with her number, preceded with (again hypothetically) something along the lines of "Heyy, um, you don't have to obviously, but it was cool chatting to someone who didn't mock my geekyness
Give me a text or something " (probably due to a hypothetically shared interest...)
Person A thinks he gets it, but is worried that he is going to make a tit of himself before there's anything to make a tit of himself about.Comment

Kid A should go with his gut on this. That's a pretty direct 'come hither' moment, digital as it is.Comment

Sounds like she's flirting/interested in you...I mean person A...go for it mate/person A.
What has person A got to lose especially if it's not a best friend or somesuch. Will A bump into B often if things go tits up?Comment
-
Sounds like person A is on a promise to me so should go for it, alot of otherwise confident people aren't so when it comes to datingComment
-
I think person "A" should go for it and be themself. Obviously, person "B" is interested and likes the person she was talking to. All hypothetically of course.Comment

Person C went to an all boys' boarding school for seven years. A world of no sex, or of inter-male sex.
Person C was well mixed up but decided to go through University as a sort of Peter North stand-in. The campus was a sort of sex pond, and he became the pike. Sort of.
Eventually Person C normalled out, but he says to Person A...
Jump in. Learn. Cross The Line. Have a target sex-wise.
Sex is vital. Have some.
Move from Porn A to Porn B.
The John Lewis marital check-out porcelain starlings can wait.
Dive in.
Munch.
Or you'll only be doing it to yourself forever.Comment

No but in all severity, the invitation is right there, and if the rvsp is not sent back with the "attending" bix ticked, then person A needs to check that place where his balls should be. Hypothetically of course.Comment

I have a friend, lets call him mr J. He was like mr A, even joined the military. He met the now Mrs J (engaged anyway) while at work. After a very awkward long time they eventually got chatting on MSN and texted till 5am most days. You don't stay up till 5am on a work night if you really really really don't like the person you are talking with. It is surprising how quickly you get to know the real person when chatting via typing.
P.S. it is alway the quiet ones you have to watch, have fun.Comment

Person A will realise that Person B has given them a definitive 'Nod'
Person A should take it slow, and play it very cool, maybe some more time online then a few brief calls, then a mellow meetup, something fun nothing traditionally romantic, just a fun night out.
Then......?

Go for it. But remember this is the internet… before you hit the sheets verify its a woman.The running gears of a bopmachineComment

No need for an amateur psychiatrist here - it's always an emotional risk to make moves on someone, I think the real issue is Person A's anxieties around making a tit of hisself, and this is an issue because it might prevent future happiness.
Think of the SAS motto (sticking with the military theme) and you won't go far wrong.
