Be happy it's just blushing and not a different kind of reaction.

You just haven't worked up to being as comfortable as you can be around the opposite sex. Thats all.

[quote=Adi from the Brunswicks;35773863]Geez, I don't know why these feelings arise. As a religious ascetic, this behavior should be non existent within my blood. Why am I always wired to react this way to women on first sight. I have tried to get rid of it through isolated meditation to god, but its not helping.

Deep down, I have a nice heart. But its stupid qualities like this that mask all the better stuff about me.

And NO, I am NOT getting a tan to satisfy girls . I WILL NEVER ACCEPT being used as a sex slave, alright.[/quote]

hahaha, try it, you might like it

Just kidding.

Work your way up - practice talking with older women first or some that are really nice. Work your way up to the hotties.

You are not alone, it has been happening to me since I was a kid and believe me I stoppped being a kid a long long time ago. Just try your best to keep your composure, maybe practice in front of the mirror or record yourself and then evaluate your expressions. A beautiful woman weakens me every time but I have learned to manage my demeanor and my reaction so I don't look stupid, I am too old for.that.

Probably because you've indicated in other threads that you have your life segregated into "school first, then work, THEN relationship" as if they cannot overlap.

Allow yourself to interact more with women in all kinds of situations and you will relax.

Also, the more you worry about it, the worse the blushing will get.

It's okay, you are not alone. A lot of women I talk to have this same problem when talking to me. When they talk to my friends or anyone else they keep normal.

What gives???

I actually have much better conversations with women in their 40's than those in my range (20-25 years). When I don't percieve too much physical beauty, I tend to do an amazing job at having a direct 1:1 conversation.

Its only certain figures that make me blush (Mostly tall and athletic hourglass figures with light tans who leave me daydreaming ). If only I had the courage to approach up front without blushing.

Actually, do not worry about the blush. You wear that blush with pride. They might actually be flattered and it could make their day.



The only reason you shouldn't talk to someone you are interested in is if you have something else going on (which could be anything).

Can you map your thought process? You can change your thought pattern, but that will take time. In the mean time, I've heard preparation H stops the blushing because it constricts the blood flow.

Or just go with it. Lots of people blush.

I feel your pain. I blush in 50% of conversations. I just can't make small talk or speeches without getting uncomfortable unless it's about fishing or websites. I'm married, but I get beet red when speaking with a handsome man. I've thought about a public speaking group. If I could talk to 10 people, I should also be able to talk to one confidently...
