I have been at this for a year. I have had a ton of approaches, probably like 150 now. OK, that may be way less than some, but its still a fair share. I have yet to close anything but a number, and have only been on a few dates. I am comfortable approaching. I am reevaluating myself though because something I am doing is off. Also throw in 21 years of my parents conditioning me not to touch girls.
