Dating and Sexual Anxiety

[MrSilver]

For most of my life...well actually all of it...I have had a paralyzing amount of anxiety when it came to dating. At times I have been so full of anxiety on a date I was afraid to say anything. Other times I tried so hard to overcome my anxiety and said way too much. Often I have a hard time meeting women because of my fear of not only getting rejected but actually being liked. Asking a woman out is a no win situations because either I get turned down or I have to go on a date!! I avoid the whole process and have wondered if it is my destiny to be a single guy forever. Also my sexual anxiety has been a problem and lead to depression. A few months ago I looked at a book about sexual health and the only real info I have found on overcoming sex anxiety is seeking professional help. However the good news is I have started to gain some confidence and think that maybe a woman could actually want to date me long term. However I have a lot of anxiety about my ability to have a long term girlfriend. This has been going on for so long and I even though have been able to make big improvments in many parts of my life in recent years this is something I still struggle with very much.
