The Shy Guy

i was a shy kid growing up. i started to grow out of it during my junior year of high school, and over the last six years i feel that i have made great progress. especially with my day to day dealings with people, public speaking, ect. i still feel that i have some room to grow. especially when it comes to women.

when it comes to asking a girl on a date i become that shy kid again. i think it's a combination of fears that make me shy about approaching women. the fear of rejection and/or the fear of the awkwardness that is created after being turned down by someone you know and see on a regular basis. thus i do my share of online dating.

yesterday i read an article called "how to ask him out". this would be a great shift of the pyridine for us shy guys. i have seen this happen first hand and applaud the women who have done so, and on behalf of us shy guys out there. i whish more women would do this. there are a lot of really great guys who just need a little bit of help when it comes to landing a date. personally i think a woman who is willing to approach a guys is all the more attractive.
