Hi every one. I'm a 24 years old boy immigrated to United States for a year. I have major problems interacting with girls and since I'm 24 it makes me more concerned. Let me at first tell you about my background. I was kind of a book worm till my high school days. I was also a professional dedicated athlete that didnt try to hangout even with boys!. At that time I was not even thinking to interact with girls and also it was considered as an inappropriate behavior from the stand point of my surrounding people ( Even family and school people). When I was admitted to the university I really wanted to talk to girls, but an inner sound prevented me to this. I tried several times during my bachelors, but I was not successful. In the situations that I became friend with a girl, I was introduced to the girls by my friends. I was not able to do it my self. ( meanwhile I was able to get two girls by chance and have sex with them for a couple of times, but I had this feeling that I shoulnt have become friend with them since I thought I should have found someone with higher qualities in terms of social status, style and ... ). This problem is not just the mater of sex and girls, The fact that I am unable to interact with girls(which I really want to), is killing me and I could not find a solution. I have this feeling that something have rooted in my personality that cannot see girls normally, so I cannot naturally socialize with them (I try too hard naturally instead!!). I am currently an Electrical Engineering Master's student and I dont want to spend all my time for this problem. Do you guys have any suggestions for me based on the facts that I mentioned earlier?? I my self think it is not a normal situation at all and I need help!! By the way, I watched and read lots of materials. I may know lots of things theoretically, but in practice ...!!
