As expected you've been flooded by the usual people who have 0 ability to feel sympathy for men and 0 understanding of what it's like to approach women in the real world.

Approaching women is a difficult task and requires a lot of courage. Kudos to any man who does it regularly.

As for "creepy" sometimes the label is deserved, but oftentimes women mistake social awkwardness for creepiness. When people are nervous, they act weirdly. Making weird jokes, having strange body language.

As a general rule, women have very little sympathy for a socially awkward man trying to face his fears.
