Hello,
I am a shy 29 year old male that needs advice on how to break that habit. I am a pretty sociable person when I start to feel comfortable around someone, but it does take some time. When I see a girl as a friend, communicating is easy. However, when it comes time to flirt and try and take the next step, I close them off and start to shut down. I don't want this to take over my life. I have resorted to meeting women online now because the anxiety of trying to approach a beautiful women scares me to no end. Any advice from men that have overcome a similar problem or women who understand how a guy with this problem may feel and how to overcome it. Thanks again.
