I’m a femboy with no discernable masculine traits aside from having a dick. I’m very shy, and the only relationships I’ve ever had were brief high school romances that only came to fruition because the girls initiated first. If they hadn’t asked me out, I wouldn’t have done anything because I have crippling anxiety. I’m also not good about reading social situations, and knowing when it’s the appropriate time to ask somebody out.

I tend to keep to myself and stay quiet, because I don’t have anything to say. I find it hard to come up with things to say in conversations, so I prefer a girl who can “guide me through” social interactions, if that makes sense. I would definitely prefer a girl to take charge in a relationship because I’m very meek, and I don’t like the fact that I’m expected to be the directive & assertive type who calls the shots.

I feel like the only people that I actually appeal to now is gay men. Women don’t really want to have anything to do with me, and I have been labeled as “gay” by many coworkers and friends that I’ve met. I would like to be in a relationship with a girl, but I feel like my options are very limited. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
