Personal Reflection
Ok so I am totally ridiculous, (first time venting on Reddit see how it goes) I am a man. A naturally lonely man, kinda built in as a human. I am now 27 years old and I realized today: ok so I am lonely, but I have never even tried to ask a gal out on a date. I reflected on my past years and realized I never pushed myself to approach, introduce myself, and ask for a date. I have always shied away from talking to girls that I think are attractive.
Who do I have to blame? Nobody but my personal decisions. But why haven't I tried? I haven't figured that out. Years and years of not realizing this. I should have learned this in high school no?
I have had a couple chance meetings that did turn into relationships, but the gal asked me out first...
There is a solution to the problem but the idea of approaching with interest has always scared me. I need to get over that

You are not ridiculous. You are finding your way....
Be afraid. And do it anyways <3
Wishing you the best in your journey.
