Start of the end..

iwitw,

I wished I had the confidence and charisma to feel safe and secure approaching women. Why is that such a hard thing to deal with?

I can jump out of an airplane, race cars, driven a motorcycle at over 170mph, and yet I am afraid of women, approaching them, fear of them rejecting me, etc. Sheesh, that seems like a mountain of stuff to deal with..

Me, too, though I am getting better as I put less and less thought and emphasis on the result. I just aim to interact. And perhaps move on, perhaps not. A friend recently told me don't try to impress. Just enjoy. Also told me don't just talk, be like a reporter and interview. Ask questions. People love to talk about themselves and like to think that someone is really interested. Sounds like pure common sense.

Ladies, you're thoughts on this?
