So I've always been socially anxious and never gone on a date at all. As of late, I am comfortable in all areas of my life aside from dating, so I decided to start working on my fear of approaching girls or even just starting small talk and speaking my mind with random people. I tried to overcome it last year, but it didn't go well, and I just spent a year going out, wanting to talk with people, rarely doing it, and then being depressed. I remember missing an opportunity at my church as well with a girl that was flirting with me, but having just started to try and overcome my anxiety, I just froze and then creepily approached her later only to be embarrassed.

Anyway, over the last 2 weeks I've made loads of progress. I've talked with random store employees, cashiers, given random people compliments, and even approached two girls I thought were cute. One was after I worked up the courage and just forced myself over to her, and was too nervous and had nothing to talk about, so I made a comment about her yogurt she was eating, only to have the conversation end after that. It still felt amazing to conquer a fear like that though. Today, I saw a cute girl looking at sci-fi books. I contemplated approaching and could feel the anxiety building, when I just thought "What's the worst that could happen? I don't approach and go home wishing I had gotten to know her" so I forced myself over to her. I don't think she was that into me, but I asked her some questions, and she turned out to not really be my type anyway.

After all this, I figured that you all probably have some funny or entertaining stories about fear of approaching, approaching, or if a girl, being approached. Would love to hear them :)
 
Ive told this one on here before, but its my faaaaaaaaaaavorite story :D

I was standing in line at Mcdonalds, and this guy comes up to me looks me up and down, smiles and goes. Soooo i think we might be related ;)

I do attract the winners dont i ;)

Not everyone can be so lucky!
 
All I seem to attract is arrows, ugly looks and stones, and of course the occasional variations of "not if you were the last one on earth, and there weren't any sheep"

how do you people do it????

One of these days I'm going to have to get around to polishing my armour.
