This never happened before, i‘m feeling devastated. 17yo, switched to a different high school ~5 months ago, talked to everyone interesting from the school except this one girl who I just had a few very brief conversations with (so it was just a matter of time until we get to know each other). Today we were the first ones in class so we two were alone in the room, I was tired af and even tho I‘d been planning to approach her at some point, SHE started a conversation with me. She’d also been giving me IOIs before, I’m a goodlooking tall guy.
But during this conversation I just gave a boring, average but not too bad reply to her question (idk what the question was), then she asked why I switched to this school which is kind of a long story, I started explaining it (again in a boring way), this is when the panic attack really started, I mixed up some words and talked slower than usual and just tried to get the words out of my mouth without fucking up. After that the conversation kinda stopped and I used the opportunity to leave the room and go to the bathroom, then I came back and she was gone, I didn’t know what to do so I told my classmates I was feeling sick (which was true) and went home.
So I was a fucking bitch, this never happened to me before, I can approach girls and be confident so idk what happened, if you asked my friends they’d tell you I’m a guy who can’t be shy/scared of girls. I don’t have oneitis for the girl either and while she’s attractive she’s not insanely attractive. I have no idea what happened today and I’m fucking devastated, this is the first time I lost frame at this school.
Wtf do I do now? I have this huge urge to do SOMETHING to recover from this embarrassment but I don’t know what. I assume I can write off this girl, I just want her out of my life completely. But wtf do I do now

Well with this state of mind anything you try doing will come across as awkward and autistic, calm the fuck down.
Wait for her to initiate contact or wait a week or so and if she hasn’t talked to you first by then go ahead and initiate contact.
You’re trying to date her right? Go ahead and ask her out when any of these two things happen. It’s not that complicated, get the fuck out of your head.

Good advice here. She is just a person. Calm your F'ng ass down. You talk about giving boring answers. Stop worrying about that. It's not your job to entertain her or any girl. Just talk to her like you would anyone else.
Like this guy mentioned, ask her out on your next encounter. Fuck texting first. You can still recover.

As far as she knows you were sick. Just calm down and it will be fine next time you see her

Approach other girls.
