M 26.

I just read about how approach anxiety and fear of change are correlated. To overcome the anxiety I have been implementing small incremental changes.

Asking for the time, then after I felt comfortable doing that asking her how she's doing, etc....

Today I was with my mother and younger sister at a coffee shop. I don't see them often so it was nice of them to visit.

I saw a very pretty woman I wanted to speak with. It didn't fee right to do so with my family present, and then speaking to her just to return to my table seemed odd. What is TRP's thoughts on speaking with women in family settings? I.E she or you are with your family. Seems a bit inappropriate.

I decided to give her a compliment as we were leaving, but as we left she did as well.
