I'm sitting here bored and really wanting to go out. I've tried getting friends to accompany me but they're all either busy or out of town. So after reading many posts on here of people having great experiences out by themselves I'm strongly tempted to head out alone.

I do get pretty nervous talking to girls and have managed to talk myself out of every approach that's presented itself to me... But I want to change this, and that's not gonna happen unless I actually do something.

I'm also on a wheelchair, which makes dancing super awkward. It's definitely one source of my lack of confidence, even though it seams to attract a lot of girls when I'm out. A lot of the time I'll just be sitting there with friends and a girl will come over and sit on my knee, 9/10 times they're drunk as a skunk, and even then I never know what to say or do, but still.

It's time to kick social anxiety in the butt!

But I need some advice/words of encouragement first...

UPDATE: It didn't go too well... I'm too tired to write out any detail right now but I will say this - running into your ex who you still have feelings for pretty much kills your mood. Don't do that.
