I want to but everyone would laugh. It was so weird, I promise you I wasn't doing it deliberately it was like someone possessed me. Never had anything like that happen before.
One day, you should approach a woman on your own. Even if you get rejected, you'll realize it's easier than you thought.
The trouble begins if it's accepted. The dynamic won't magically change, I will be expected to initiate everything and be under constant scrutiny. No thanks.

I get what you mean, but not all women are like that.
As long as you're being genuine and nice, and not a total creep you'll be fine.
I've seen you mention before that you like a woman to approach you. Fact of the matter is, that'll happen very few times. You can't wait on it. You have to grow some balls and make the first move sometimes.
BTW, I'm not knocking you. I used to be like you too. I'm just trying to help you a bit.

All potential relationships involve scrutinizing and judging your potential partner in many ways.

Hey, you act like I'm in my 40s. No reason to give up hope yet.

I know.
I know it's unfair that society expects men to always approach women, I agree with you that it should be 50/50 of both sexes approaching each other (not the 98/2 that's reality).
I'm telling quite the opposite. You have so much time left to get a girl. Honestly, I don't even think late teens/early 20s is a good time to have a GF. That's the time in life where you focus on you and finding yourself and become the best you can be.
All I'm saying is expecting women to approach you is an unrealistic expectation, because of society's rules. I'm not saying I agree, but that's how things are. Have you ever tried just striking up a casual conversation with a female classmate or something? It's not that you always have to hit on them or use that angle. You can just have a simple conversation and go from there.
