Hello. Well, I'll try to go straight to the fact. I am 27 years old and never dated for more than 3 months. I don't know how to approach women, tho I am trying to learn with PUA. I have severe anxiety (wich led to OCD). I am taking antidepressants and going to therapy, but I am getting better. This is not an excuse tho, but the meds do lower my libido drastically and make me apathetic (sometimes just getting out from the bed is a pain).

I have been dumped so many times in the past (in some really bad ways, like being humiliated in class by the girl I had a crush on and tried to approach) that I have grown afraid of approaching women. I just want a date, and I know I shouldn't be making excuses. But I know that my Anxiety/OCD and my past experiences build up when I try to aproach a girl.

I am very lonely. None of my friends have the habit to go out, so when I go, I have to go alone. I tend to stay at home tho, because I enjoy it. I am not very social. I enjoy being alone, driking some whiskey and watching TV, reading a book or playing some games on PC.

I live in a small town t (80 thousand habitants).

I tried Tinder, but guess what? Almost no matches, and the matches I get, when I try speaking with the girl (saying hi, how are you? Or something like that) I never get an answer... Im growing a bit tired of this. I don't have the patience for those little games some women want, like giving them attention or something like that. The few women that do reply back to me are cold and harsh, and they (maybe) expect me to keep making the conversation flow, but I don't.

Sometimes I just want to have sex. I don't think of women as objects to have sex, but we have our needs as well, right? Sometimes I think about hiring a hooker, but I don't even have the money right now (unnemployed).

I have never kissed a girl I liked/loved. Last girl I dated was completely "meh". She was cute, she liked me, but I didn't like her. I was just going out because of social pressure I guess. "You gotta have someone. You gotta date someone. Come on, you're 27" they said.

Can someone give me a glimpse on what I should do? I am less afraid of approaching women over the internet. There are these cute girls on Facebook that are from my town that I have never spoken to, but I am afraid to talk to them. Should I try to talk to them? Should I ask them out? Won't this lower my value? I have tried to approach a few, but they see my message and never reply back (And I just say "Hi, how are you?" Or something like that).

I see so many different concepts of PUA. Some say you shouldn't ask a girl out because this will lower your self value, and others say you should. Sometimes I am confused because this philosophy has many different points of view.

I am sorry for all this ranting. Thank you for reading up to this.

Have a good end of the year and a happy new year :)
