Don't feel bad, I was a socially-inept child with aspergers so I definitley can understand your ability to not read into things well. I used to chicken out on asking an attractive woman what math homework was in 9th grade because I was afraid she would think I was hitting on her and think I was a pervert or something and I wouldn't approach a girl to save my life and now I get HB10s tp cheat easy; out of respect I will only do it if their boyfriends don't treat them right. You can make anything happen just keep searching and trying until you hit upon what works for you personally.
You need to get your anxiety under control so that your body language can stay congruent with your openers. It's not so much what you say (10%-20%) as HOW you say it (80%-90%) so if you're speech, demeanor and expression is not confident you are going to fail every time; women are world class body language readers and are far better at it than most men. I can say with fair certainty that is your delivery and not your words that are failing.
