I have social anxiety and never been in a relationship and find it very difficult as an average looking dude to meet women. I get bad anxiety when trying to approach a girl I like or find attractive so avoid it. I’m still working on myself so I know that needs to come first. Just looking to see what others did to find a girlfriend with similar difficulties.

    Yes! As someone that dances, please DO NOT join interest groups just to hit on people. Join groups that do something you’re interested in, then hit on anyone you might be interested in as you naturally meet them.

    Doing the first causes two big problems:

    1. Whoever you meet is likely genuinely interested in the activity that may be the basis of your initial relationship. If you don’t actually enjoy it, either you drop out or you continue doing something you don’t truly enjoy, both of which detract from the relationship.

    2. Everybody fucking hates these people. Seriously. We know who they are within a few sessions and that puts everyone’s hackles up.

      I’m a guy who likes dance classes. I’m often the only guy. There’s always a few weeks of people tip toeing around me to see if I’m there to hit on people. I’m not, just dance pls.
