Hey ol' buddy ol' pal.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I've been single for over four years. In this time I have forgotten everything I ever knew about flirtin' with a girl or trying to impress one. I totally understand what your feeling but I am on the other end of the spectrum.

When I hang out with my friends and a girl shows any kind of interest in what I say or do, I get totally flustered and confused. I get where I can't talk plain and start acting stupid and end up screwing something up. I have several friends that I would really like to date but - I have no idea if they would agree. I'm pretty well open to anything and anybody so when someone actually shows interest or flirts with me I've screwed up several times by asking a girl out when she was just being nice and had absolutely no romantic interest in me at all.

Don't worry man. You said this:
Or maybe I just get too excited. I dont know.
You have to be the cool, calm and collected guy that a girl will notice for that and not be all goofy and stuff. It's hard to control excitement when that one girl walks into the room, but you can - and have - to do it. I'm not saying show no interest, but suddenly I believe its the best way to win the hearts of millions.

Don't let yourself get tied down to one person just yet. I'm not saying to go out and start sleeping with every girl you can find (unless it works for you) but If theres grass on the field, play it man. Don't become a 'womanizer' or anything like that but JUST HAVE FUN!

Maybe this will help. Some of it may not or even pertain to your situation but I needed a little vent, too.

I would love to be dating someone right now. Four years is a long time. I get kinda 'Lonely' sometimes but it's all good. I know the right person is out there for me, somewhere, It would be a bonus if she had her own truck and boat but hey, I'll take what I can get!

There is a line in a song that says. "Your not the best, but your the best I could do".
I can't remember who sings it. I'm not expecting to date Julia Roberts (even though she is single and lonely and warm and soft... ) oh nevermind... I'm just sayin...oh heck, I dont know what I'm sayin anymore!

Just have fun, follow your heart. Good things happen to good people. You're a good person. A little twisted sometimes but hey, who isn't? The right person will come along. If Marya isn't that someone...no biggie. 'She'll' turn up sooner or later.
