How about something more radical then? Make a decision not to date for a month(?(pick an amount any amount)). - tobor.2 Mar 10, 14:37 5
- I've made a decision to not date for a year-and-a-half. Or, rather, the decision was made for me. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 14:51 4

    - This is like watching a bear at a circus...chained, unhappy, unwilling to escape. -- nm - Loyola Mar 10, 15:01
    - I'm saying that deciding whether to date or not to date really isn't my decision to make. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 14:59 1
      - I mean you make the decision. Take it off the table for awhile. - tobor.2 Mar 10, 15:14
oic. in that case, can you maybe work on not thinking of them as potential partners to start with? - b. Mar 10, 13:48 3
- yeah, at the end of the day, it is just a date. - groiny Mar 10, 13:52 2
  - not even a date, just interacting with a subset of females. -- nm - b. Mar 10, 14:03 1
    - true, the end result, if good, is a date, if bad, it means you have to try again in another pond. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:11
your are putting the good looking ones way up on a mountain and then you have to climb up there to get to them. - groiny Mar 10, 13:47
that is exactly your issue then, they are people just like you, why be nervous? - groiny Mar 10, 13:45 11
- Oh man, I've made that mistake in the past and it held me back. I would think of women as potential dates first and as people second - con_carne Mar 10, 13:52 5

    - Now I know how hard Marty had to work it to get his dad to ask out Lorraine. -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 14:06 1

    - unlike High School, he can go to a strip club and get lucky for 20 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:00
  - I will share a story about this mindset..... - groiny Mar 10, 13:56
- I think he needs to say to himself; "Is there a point to being nervous. Will I achieve anything by being nervous here?" - Loyola Mar 10, 13:49 3
  - the IM is totally a valid comparison. You can't succeed in pressure situations when you are shitting yourself. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 13:50 2
    - Unless it's running away from a wild animal....might make him slip and slide and be unable to eat you. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 14:00
    - Exactly. It's ok to be nervous. But conquer it. If you strike out with the girl, you strike out. - Loyola Mar 10, 13:54
- maybe their vaginas charge 10% interest. -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:47
