I suggest you go back to school first of all...

Go for baby steps my friend. Start with a simple hello, slowly move on to small talk... don't worry if you look like an idiot, we all do at one point or the other... Learn how to treat women as friends, discover exactly what you can do to make them think, make them laugh, make them smile. Once the anxiety fades away you can set out to find some broad that you can bang. :thumbsup:

In all seriousness, the truth is that you have to step outside of your comfort zone and take a risk when the time comes. You are a human being just like everybody else. You laugh, cry, get pissed off, and get tired after a hard day's work. Don't get angry when you see couples - take a quiet, deep breath and tell yourself that one day you'll be walking about with a girl of your own.

Is there a sticker on your forehead that is preventing you from a relationship? Do you have an aura about you that repels women? The answer is fuck no. Begin your communication skills, learn to get your thoughts out clearly and people will understand your point. Sure, it may not work for the first few days (perhaps weeks) but that is completely OK. Build your confidence - get a haircut, buy some new shirts, lift some weights. Once you like yourself enough people will notice and will begin to like you for what you are.

What is so frightening about having a girlfriend? Do you fear change? If you are miserable as of now, then guess what buddy, it is time for change. Fuck anxiety man, stop worrying about petty things. Be happy, be relaxed, be yourself.
