I know there probably exists a woman who I find attractive and who wouldn't reject me, but since I'm 0 for 3, I constantly doubt myself and am afraid of striking out more because it'll further compound my lack of confidence.
They don't have to be.

I can't speak for most women, but I don't approach for two reasons:

Guys almost always approach me first. (Not saying this in an entitled way btw.)

I'm too shy and afraid of embarrassing myself to approach a guy I am interested in.

Most of the guys I have liked that I ended up talking to was either through the internet or talking to them through groups of friends.

I'm exhausted as it is. Don't upset the apple cart. It works fine.

I'm usually a pursuer but when I get hit on or asked out, it shocks the hell out of me.

Ha I wish I had half the confidence you have to attempt talking to other people lol

I get nervous when anyone approaches me. I'm always afraid of saying the WRONG thing or doing something embarrassing. I know this is a strange thing to focus on, but I can't help it lol!

No I don't think so. I believe it can go both ways.

I have more confidence when my friends are around me though.

If you think of it as work, that might be part of your problem. You're talking to someone you like and you want to talk to him/her more. How is expressing that work?

Women are assertive in their own way. But as far as being direct... most women are emotionally volatile and can't take rejection as easily as men, that's why they avoid it.

For the most part, men will have a careless attitude toward rejection (unless they are really into the girl.)
