Been single for over 6 years now. In fact, it's been nearly 4 years since I even asked a woman out.

It was an accumulation of many bad relationship and dating experiences which took a heavy toll on me to the point where I'd cringe at the mere thought of going on a date.

That said, I'm considering putting myself back out there. I've recently had a few opportunities, but haven't had the will to act upon any of them. It's definitely a large mental obstacle I need to overcome.

I have approached guys and many of my female friends did, too.

Not at all. It's quite common. Their "going after what they want" may not look like a guy's "going after what he wants", and you may never have been involved in a woman's "going after what she wants", but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, or that it's rare.

Very good answer, seriously I swear, man I feel like literally punching the next person in the face who labels me a coward or lazy for not wanting to approach a girl, I'd be like "would you still think I'm a coward or ***** by punching your lights out?" Many other male mammals besides humans have a much easier mating dance, courtship ritual

you need a hug bro, don't get me wrong women are not as bold as men are but they do approach. I have seen girls pass their number to a guy they like or even start convos out of the blue just because they like the person. I myself haven't experience that but heck my ex even approached the guy she was with before me lol and he's still relevent in her life. We just haven't ran into a woman who likes us enough or is brave enough to approach us but if you work on yourself you will become more attractive. The better you are in life the more likely you will bat an eye and she may come flocking towards you because you have something she's looking for.
