It isn't a matter of getting dates. It is about not letting go of a certain aspect of your life. It's about not giving up. If this part of your life saddens or depresses you, then do something about it.

If there is something that I feel I have the power to control and change, then why wouldn't I do it.

What if you can't play the numbers game? It's been at least a year since I last met a datable woman that wasn't an employee serving me as a customer. Public transit doesn't work well enough around here to go out and meet women, either.

The last time a woman approached me IRL, was when I was studying in Italy. She seemed interested in knowing me, until she realized that my Italian was very limited.

The last woman who approached me was a Hooters girl. Turns out she was a party girl and I don't want a girlfriend whose idea of fun is to get drunk.

Then she is the perfect girl to take out for a date. Use her to give yourself the opportunity to see if you have any game. You already don't feel she is your speed of woman, but to each their own. That is beside the point. Just give yourself the opportunity to practice.

Also, NEVER judge a book by it's cover!!!

Just like sex, I just don't consider it a big deal at all.

You aren't trying to apply for a CEO position, or get top clearance for a government agency, you are trying to communicate with a female.

There are too many options that give people the opportunity to meet with other individuals for me to understand not being able to do it.

If you let something control you, like the fear you feel over this issue, what other things will you end up cheating yourself out of in life?
Exactly. Those who have no problem with this don't understand. At least you recognize it.

That's not helping my situation either.

Last female friend I had was high school. Fifteen years ago. I'm pretty much right there.
