      I’ve been single for about 7 years myself & struggle with the same thing.

      Would you say that you’re confident in yourself or not so much?

        Confidence? Not so much. But it’s less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

        In short, my thought process goes like this:

        • Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
        • I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
        • Therefore, I don’t approach women.

        I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that’s a shit show unless you’re in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I’ve been single 10+ years.
