Feel nervous/lack of confidence

Post Reply New Topic

I haven't been out with a girl since last June, even though at times its made me sad and depressed in a sense I've got use to being single. Last night I was out with my dad and when I first walked into the bar I noticed this girl sat there. Later on I was told that the girl was looking at my direction though I didn't notice most of the time. When she was leaving my dad asked her what her name was and pointed to me, in which I said hello before she went. After she had left my dad said that we might see her around some time and I would be interested in seeing where it goes if it does happen. The point I'm trying to make in this thread is that is it normal to feel nervous?

I'm always nervous when I like a girl, I think mostly because of how much of my control I feel slips my grasp when I meet someone like that. But everyone is different, and there is nothing wrong with you feeling that way. Since some people, women and men both, will tell you that a lack of confidence is the death knell for any potential dating prospects, I'm not sure what you can do about it, but I do wish you luck with her. Sorry if I can't tell you any cure all advice, being that I'm in my 30s and single for 99% of that time, but at least you can know that it's a fairly common issue and some people are able to work past it.

If you find out, will you tell me the secret cure? I'm really bad for that. Sometimes, I can't even speak properly.

If you like a girl, be yourself on initial approach.
