Hey, I'm a 24M. Have the patience to read the whole post and feel free to ask questions. I have troubles with approaching.

I'm studying abroad and lucky me, I can afford therapy. I had huge troubles with befriending people in general, so I had a few friends only and struggled with people in general. Right now, after some work with my therapist, I managed to learn how to create some bonds with the others. Because of this my social life skyrocketed, I literally have to refuse invitations sometimes, because I'm already going out with someone else.

The problem is my dating life right now. I didn't have many girls in the past and most of them weren't that attractive (both physical appearance and personality), so I was dissatisfied and frustrated. But it was that or me completely alone. I feel ashamed talking about this right now.

Now, abroad I tried to go on a couple of dates. On one I got rejected, I thought that the girl liked me. But she didn't. With another one I had sex, the problem is that it was painful physically and emotionally. So I stopped seeing her. And got rejected a couple of times. These girls are usually friends of friends or met on some kind of social events. Nevermind.

I can't approach, I'm stuck. I don't know the reason, probably it's the lack of experience. It's a dumb reason, since everyone needs to start somewhere. Sometimes even from the deep bottom. I even saw one guy, with whom I'm hanging out with, approaching many girls. He gets a lot of them. Even if he gets rejected plenty of times, he's cool and smooth. And never ever nothing bad happened. But he's drowning in girls hahaha

Any tips? I would really love to change also this aspect of my life. And I believe I can do it!

Physically I love myself. I'm really tall (6'4" or 194 cm), "normal body" (not thin, not fat), I'm wearing nice clothes, I completely changed my stile the last weeks. But I did it for myself, not for the others. Also I study medicine, so this is my main job.
