On a personal level, I am not quite as confident when it comes to relationships. I may have a good IQ, but my EQ is lacking, to put it lightly.
Who cares? Some of us are late bloomers. I guarantee even Robert Redford had awkward moments back in the day (a LONG time ago). Guys don't like to admit it but none of us were born Rico Suave, charm takes time to develop. Unfortunately, some of us wait too long to address the issue and it certainly gets much worse the longer you wait. Never too late to start though, and it's *certainly* something you should be addressing by now.
Also don't listen to those feebs who give out dating advice. Everyone's looking for something different in a woman and it's hard to tell what that is unless you've dated enough. Just swallow your pride and acknowledge that you're going to go through several Ms. Wrongs (unless you get mad lucky), but that you're going to learn from each one of them.
I don't know how I come across on my blog, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot more positive than I am in real life. I manage to edit away most of the negativity on my blog, but in real life it tends to creep out more and in the most unfortunate situations.
Feeling negative during an anxious situation is natural, feeling it all the time is a sign of uncertainty and fear. I say get shithoused and hit on some waitresses. It will cultivate an imperviousness to rejection. I can tell you that works from firsthand experience.
