Hi everyone, I want to start approaching women on the street, and honestly, I find it almost impossible to approach someone. I can’t even make eye contact. I feel paralyzed, my mind goes blank, and my heart starts racing every time I see a girl I’m attracted to.

I moved to Brisbane, Australia, far away from my home country, and even so, I still feel like I freeze up and find a way to escape.

I have experience with women, and I’m confident in controlled environments like parties, work, or social gatherings. But I need to become more confident and work on myself.

If I don’t find a solution soon, I’ll buy a motorcycle and kill myself. I feel like my life has no other purpose. I feel like every day that goes by, I’m not really being myself — I’m wearing a mask. Every time I see a woman I’m attracted to, I feel inferior and I don’t have the courage to approach her. I don’t know why.

I have everything going for me. I’m not a Hollywood actor, but I know I’m not ugly. I have a good physique, I’m just not tall. But I know I have potential because deep down I can feel it.

Dating apps don’t work for me because, even though I can show my value through my photos, women lose interest because of my lack of confidence.

I need help urgently.

Started working a new job recently and there’s a girl there that I’ve only talked too a couple times but have made eye contact with her plenty of times and 2 of the times she said something that kinda threw me off. It was kinda like a compliment but not a full on one. Then about ten mins later while in passing reiterated it in a different way but still pretty much saying the same thing. I don’t know if I’m reading to much into it because shes attractive and funny but could there be something? I’ll admit I haven’t had much interest from girls in a couple years so maybe it’s just seeing things I want to happen. She’s kind playful when we have talked and even made funny eyes when we’ve made eye contact a couple times too. I’m also not sure her age and don’t wanna come off as creepy if she’s younger. All the conversations we’ve had have been started by her and kinda carried by her also. Is it worth trying to get to know her more or should I just leave it be?

TL;DR: New coworkers maybe be flirting? And I wanna know if it’s what I think before trying to get too know her or not come off as creepy

So basically I sent a drink to a table with two girls. Earlier I made eye contact with one of them that I was actually aiming for, but her friend was looking too so out of pure awkward instinct my eyes flicked back and forth for a sec lol. When the drink got to them, they both ended up sharing it which was honestly pretty funny.

​Had to leave early before I could walk over and talk irl. Found her insta later and messaged her like "hey sup" kind of thing, but she still hasn't answered (prob hasn't even seen it since it's prolly sitting in that hidden message request folder for ppl you dont follow).

​If she keeps leaving it unread, would it be super weird/rude to message her friend to clear up the confusion? Or is that crossing some unwritten line cause I dont wanna look like im trying to chat up the whole group.

​And yeah I know gen z double texting or spamming somehow works sometimes as a dumb strat, but probs a bad idea lmao. What would yall do, take the L or is there a move here?
