I’m an attractive guy and I have had many girls show interest in me throughout my life. I got out of college a few years ago. But I have never dated before. Whenever a girl shows interest in me, I never show any interest back because I’m afraid of dating so I don’t want to lead the girl on. The thing is, though, I want to date and I enjoy the idea of dating. I want to be with a girl. I think maybe the reason why I’m afraid of dating is because I have no idea what to do and I’m afraid that I won’t be good at it. I’m also worried about stuff like what if the girl shows up late, what if she texts on her phone instead of talking to me on the date etc. The uncertainty definitely causes me anxiety. But I guess it’s also because I’ve just never done it before.
For everyone here who has never dated, who here has the desire to date but is afraid to date? Why? Have you ever turned people down because of your fear of dating?
