what is happening I think is you're over thinking and psyching yourself out because you said your 36 and never even took a girl out on a date and or even talked to a girl on the phone, those are really weighing on your mind, best thing I can tell you is don't give up,
Just imagine if every single thing you did for the first time got built up the way people build-up dating and sexual milestones. I mean, the first time I raced someone in my car I didn't realize it was my first time until after it was already over. The first time I made lasagne was something that basically was imposed on me with a minute's warning tops. None of the steps were more complicated than anything I had made up until that point, it was really just a matter of putting it all together at the end. If was told days in advance that I'd be doing that I'd be certain it was over my head, but because it just unfolded I just had to pull off the steps, none of which were beyond anything else I had done.
A lot of those early 'getting involved' steps that lancenick describes are things you've already done if you've ever arranged anything with a friend, or gotten a job, or participated in a group activity at some point in your life.
