I’m 22 male never had a girlfriend or anything, had confidence issues in the past had a lot of problems and things going on in my life that have affected me to not be out there as I wanted to. Recently I have been looking after myself cleaning myself up and really just focusing on myself. I’ve started to talk to women and put myself out there abit at the moment I want to just make my own life good then the women will come type of thing but I wanted to ask for advice because I’m really struggling atm.

I had been talking to women here and there but I always feel like I’m missing something. I’m open to getting asked questions to figure out what is exactly the problem but from what I can see I feel like I can never escalate. When I talk to girls I laugh make jokes make them laugh I’m good at getting their number and stuff, and I’m a gentleman as well so I like to set up the dates I like to pay for them I ask questions about them and listen to their conversations add on my own piece and I’m not afraid to have a different opinion than them. But it still feels like I’m not flirtation enough I feel like I’m always letting it slip from my fingers and it frustrates me a lot when I see my friends talk to their girls or whatever they’re so comfortable and it just flows. With me I let it flow and be as comfortable as possible but it’s never enough? Maybe it’s because I just started to get out my shell since the end of 2023 and I haven’t dated a lot but I’d like to see what you guys say about this:)
