What should I do?
Posted : 18 Mar, 2014 07:06 PM

I just started dating at age 30. In the past 4 years I have become friends with several women online. And I have met a few of them in real life. I can't explain why, but usually in real life when I am on a first date, I forget everything that I was going to say. It's like my brain gets erased. My blood pressure rises. I start sweating. And I notice myself jumping from one topic to the next, and I cannot calm down. This doesn't happen to me online when I am writing messages to women. But it does happen when I am meeting in person or through Skype.

Do you have any good advice for me?

I think, maybe it is possible that with a lot of practice I will eventually get used to talking to women, and I will reach a comfort zone. But it is soooooooo slow! Here is what I have been doing so far: I usually search diligently online for months, and eventually I find a good friend. It then takes several months to build trust. We write tons of letters back and forth. And then we go on a first date, which is always the last date. That first date is my "practice session." So, in order to get a single hour of practice, I have to read through hundreds of profiles and write tons of letters. And then I have to start all over again. And I am discouraged, because I feel like I am not making any progress. I mean my eyes are sore because I have read so many profiles here! I have met some very smart, responsible, pretty, and mature women on this site and on Facebook, but I lost them. I am like a fisherman who catches fish, and as soon as I touch the fish, I freak out because they are slippery! And they jump back into the sea. And they are gone. I don't know what to do. :(



PS: I used to have a long and colorful profile and several photos. But my page is blank right now, because I am totally tired of searching. I am taking a break.
