Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
@deeplydisturbed has enough trouble navigating the site and keeping up with conversations through his ear trumpet as it is without you fucking up his name like that.
Clean up your act, ho!
So, in short, you had a chance to shoot your shot but convinced yourself to chicken out rather than risk embarrassment.
I'm not criticizing you here, we've all been there. It sucks and it's terrifying. That said, there's nothing any of us can tell you will make rejection less daunting. Nothing we can say to give you the courage you need when you need it.
Reading and understanding theory is beneficial to a point, beyond which there's simply no substitute for experience.
You already know what you need to do next time: don't be a pussy. Sack up, power through the fear and take the risk. It might blow up in your face. It also might get you laid. Regardless, it's the only way you're going to see any improvement.
Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director
Lloyd Kaufman, the writer/producer/director of such cult-classic films as The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Tromeo and Juliet, offers a guide to movie-making unlike any other available anywhere. In 25 years, Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to its current--and legendary--status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true cinematic independence, and the world's greatest collection of camp on film.
As entertaining and funny as it is informative and insightful, Make Your Own Damn Movie! places Kaufman's radically low-budget, independent-studio style of film-making directly in the reader's hands. Thus we learn how to: develop and write a knock-out screenplay; raise funding; find locations and cast actors; hire a crew; obtain equipment, permits, and music rights (all for little or no money); make incredible special effects for $0.79 each; charm, schmooze, and network while on the film-festival circuit; and, finally, make a bad actor act so bad it's actually good.
From script-writing and directing to financing and marketing, this book is brimming with utterly off-the-wall, decidedly maverick, yet consistently proven advice on how to fully develop one's idea for an independent film.
You can find mention of this book on both Youtube, The Internet Archive, and other websites.

@Typo-MAGAshiv the "plate" thing was my own confusion, it made sense once I read The Rational Male. I had never heard of a plate spinner till then so I deduced that a spinning plate is a spinning record.
@Durek_The_Bald Are they still considered plates if both of them live with you?
