We're still good friends and are going to my senior prom, but still I'm kinda down.
Fucking terrific. For once I meet someone I like who probably likes me back and I screw it up for myself. This happens every damn time I'm in a relationship. Things are awkward because I'm shier than most and I seldom take many risks. I hate it, but I can't figure out how to change it. Help?! | I was shy when I was young but found several ways to deal with shyness over the years. You probably feel self conscious about yourself, I know I did when I was young. I'd spend a lot of time looking for physical imperfections on my body and other imperfections in my personality. The key to confidence with women is to realize they do the same times ten. The most beautiful woman in the world worries constantly that someone will discover their imperfection, this should give you confidence when you approach a nice looking woman with knowledge you have a ten to one advantage. She is worrying about not only men but also women's view of her and you could give a darn about how men view you. Confidence is the key, and with confidence and appreciation for a woman's viewpoint of men in general you should have no problem. When you see a woman that looks like a "ten" approach her like she has six toes on each foot and you will do just fine. |
