I wish I was, but I just can’t, approaching feels way too scary due to do the numerous ways she could negatively respond to it.

I’m not, but enough men are still dating for women to constantly talk about how they hate men so 🤷‍♂️😭

No. I’ve been laughed at twice and had a girl straight up tell me she doesn’t like guys who aren’t white. If you think the worst she can say is no you’re ignorant. Not to mention every woman I’ve talked to has put me on a roster

My bf told me in person shortly after we met that he thought I was cool and wanted to get to know me better. I loved it so much that he approached me and that I’ve never had to wonder how he feels about me.

How is it not? It used to be “the worst she can say is no” but now it’s “the worst she can do is make up a lie about you on social media accusing you of sexual assault and ruin your life”

It’s more about the possibility of it happening at all. Even if it doesn’t happen, rejection isn’t a pleasant feeling

It’s more the idea of making someone uncomfortable keeps me from approaching anyone in the first place

Still makes it scary af, it’s no different to how people tend to be afraid of spiders despite them being unlikely to attack you nor do much damage (unless you’re in Australia, lol).

Plus my insecurities and awkwardness around people I don’t know, don’t help me either.

That’s social anxiety then. It truly helps to work on that(I’ve had to)

Well considering women tend not like shy and insecure guys, then what’s the point.

Well even god forbid I am lucky enough for the girl to say yes, I doubt she’d even like me and is just bored or trying to get a free meal or something, really anything but actually be attracted to me, and if she was, my nervous self sabotaging ass would likely make her lose interest anyway.
