    I’ve been single for about 7 years myself & struggle with the same thing.

    Would you say that you’re confident in yourself or not so much?

      Confidence? Not so much. But it’s less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

      In short, my thought process goes like this:

      • Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
      • I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
      • Therefore, I don’t approach women.

      I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that’s a shit show unless you’re in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I’ve been single 10+ years.
