be more selfish

I am so sick. I have never yet had a girlfriend whom I can adore and yet every time I get an eye contact with someone and I think ‘this is it’, I get really excited and start imagining being with her and yet when I get the chance to make an approach I just falter. I don’t know whether it’s nerves or a learned pattern of behaviour that I can’t break out of or whether I just don’t like acting ‘outside of the box’. Whatever it is it keeps happening and i’m not getting any younger. The reason I put it in this section is because maybe I need to be a little more selfish in order to approach somebody and persuade them to hook up with me.

Anyway, any tips would be gratefully received…
