hire a ho/prostitute

takes the pressure off go on a date ....no expectations, no head games no b.s.

go for drinks...and small conversation,,


and who cares if you are paying for her..... you aren't having sex....you are practicing,,, for YOU
this will break down your anxiety better than any couch therapy..


you need to feel comfortable around women,,,,

trying to ask out a woman with all your anxieties,,most will think you are a creep or dangerous..


put an ad out on craigslist.... looking for a woman with anxieties...because you have them too...who knows you might strike it lucky..

an episode of the big bang theory comes to mind

Maybe the fact that you posted on July 31st (your first post) and have not made one post since, including responding to posts in your own thread, says something about your personality. For instance, do you duck and run?

My question:

Do you really want a girlfriend? How intense is your desire to have sex?

I only ask these questions because, not knowing you, I surmise it is possible these things might be very low priorities in your life and you might not be ready to invest a lot of time, effort, and even money to attain these things.

Perhaps you have a low sex drive. Nothing wrong with that. The majority of young men in their mid, late teens throughout their twenties and even well into their thirties become horndogs and having sex is a major preoccupation. Sometimes a man might be gay but refuses to face the fact and goes into deep denial. More likely it might be a problem of social anxiety.

So many possible explanations.

People go through life with all kinds of issues without ever seeking treatment.

What's wrong with being, IMO, certifiably sane by remaining single? If you want to venture into the world of insanity, then find a girlfriend, marry and have children!

Prostitutes can be great sanity savers and money savers!

Wow, that's harsh. Why so presumptive? Nobody here truly knows OP's situation and personality.

No, however, in general a drive-by posting with no engagement is kind of rude. You ask people for advice and then ignore them. Sure, he could be laid up somewhere in a body cast, but most of the time when this happens it's someone with a short attention span whose interest in the subject doesn't survive a good night's sleep. Or, in the case of a post of this particular kind, there's always the chance it's a troll contriving a post just to see how people respond to it.
