HELLO community! I am like I imagine many of you started, a shy person. I have tried approaching women before against every instinct my body was saying against it, usually going badly, ALWAYS going unsucsesfully (no close is even a failing point once)

apart from spelling my great weaknesses are:

slow brain, awkward pauses as my mind gets distracted easily, too submissive rather than the authority, bad at acting on hints, too staring, awful dress sense, very slow socially

I feel I have to have a plan of what I'm going to say because I would be too nervous to make anything up. I have started reading the game and am trying to walk around more confidently and stare less.

I would say I am average looking and physically very weak.

I really hope I came to the right place

Welcome man. You are certainly in the right place
