Getting rid of approach anxiety or How not to be single
Friday, July 20th, 2007I read an interesting post on a blog called ApproachAnxiety.com about a guy from New York City complaining that he hasn’t had a date in sixth months and that he is in a dry spell .
He wrote:
It was the approach anxiety. Every time I took things into my own hands to approach a woman I didn’t know, it ended miserably. Horribly.
Believe me, I rarely did it. I had 50,000 excuses as to why I shouldn’t do it. So whenever I did, my body was a mess. I walked away feeling like the biggest jerk on the planet. Like I just did something nobody should ever do.
And they were everywhere around me. Just out of reach. Beautiful women.
I lived in New York City. Downtown. You couldn’t walk a block without seeing an attractive woman. I would look at the guys they were with and wonder what they had that I didn’t have.
Looks? Money? Style? Somehow I suspected they were just running in social circles I wasn’t. I had friends, but somehow I was never very good at just hanging out and socializing.

I also knew a girl that took some chemical supplement to ‘enhance’ her experience, she told me that she could perceive ‘life’ with more intense colors under the influence of that drug.
