For the longest time, I’ve been struggling with getting dates with women and making new friends. I often ask people to hang out in person, and they make an excuse or ghost and never respond. This is even with people I hung out with previously before Covid started.
I can’t get matches on dating apps, or attention from women at events or when I go out in person. I do sometimes see women who I can approach when I go for walks in my town, but I will admit I’m shy and afraid of what they will say if I approach them. I did meet a potential friend at a target store when going there to check for diecast cars, and we have been talking periodically on Instagram, but I always worry I’m saying or doing something wrong in every interaction.
I think I have the biggest issue with women, especially if they don’t approach first. In person I tend to freeze up and not know what to say.
