Is dating/socializing just naturally harder for us?
29 M. I’m not a virgin or anything like that, I’ve been with women and all. Had more success in college just from apps. Finding it’s harder in person and on apps after college. I actually probably look better now than I did in college if anything. Better physique and more mature facial structure without looking like I’ve aged much. I naturally get a lot of social anxiety and some heart racing but found that when I’m in better spirits and not as stressed from work/life related issues I’ve gained more attention from women. For example when my energy is more relaxed I’ve noticed women gaze as I walk by if I’m dressed nice especially. But it’s not easy, I’m a pretty broken man from many traumatic events that happened in my life. I still can’t find it in myself to approach women in casual settings. Worried I’ll end up freezing or come off too awkward and say something cringe/stupid. Anyone have tips on how to shake the approach anxiety?
