I started trying to overcome the anxiety of taking the courage to talk to woman since a long time. In the beginning, having a few drinks on parties worked a little, but of course, it doesn't solve the problem during the day.

Then I went to dating apps, after work took so much time of my hands. It can only get it so far, since it too doesn't solve on how to approach the cuties you see during the day. Dating apps are also kinda joyless and automates something that should be natural. It doesn't replace face to face interaction at all.

And finally came the media, instilling the fear of sexual assault accusations on men if they ever dare to approach a woman on the street. I'm trying my best to avoid reading bullshit articles on the internet, but sometimes, they come at you in places you visit (like TRP), because someone wanted to share a story.

Is there anything to do? Or the landscape is not bad as the media portraits it to be?
