I've been in a situation where a girl liked me. She was actually decent looking, this is pre-balding days. This was also when I was a virgin. She actually asked my friend to say it to me, which is extremely rare for me at least. So I worked up the courage and asked her out. I barely spoke the whole time, I went red in the face everytime I said something. The whole ordeal was very awkward. She never texted me back afterwards. She told her friends that I wasn't able to talk to girls and that's why she never texted me back.
I fully believe that if I had went on that date full of confidence and banter she would have been into me.
Yeah see this kind of sh*t is my worst nightmare. This is what I'm talking about when I say you still need to be confident and smooth talking. You need to feel talkative and outgoing to be able to pull dates off, or even just approaching.
With the kind of sh*t I'm dealing with I could be a full 10/10 male model and I still wouldn't think I could score an average chick cause I have anxiety and other issues which tank my self-confidence to almost zero.
It drives me nuts because I don't look too bad and I could do well if only I could get my stupid problems under control, but as much as I try it's hard to make significant progress.
It's not just women either. I'm anxious when I have to call someone on the phone, or if I need to speak up in front of a group of people (oh god) or if I need to introduce myself in front of an entire class (omfg), and yeha, things like that. I wasn't always like this though. Mainly in the last few years as I got various neurohormonal disorders.
