Thanks, Bobby.
Maybe I should do what Albert Ellis did. He walked through the Bronx Botanical Gardens and forced himself to talk to 100 women over a one month period. The only thing is, he never got a date. He sure got over his shyness, though.
Okay, maybe I'll leave the Ellis method to his Rational Emotive Therapy.
I am really no longer shy around women as I had been earlier in life. It was less of a desensitivity thing and more of a cognitive resolution that, logically, I would not meet anyone if I didn't go up to anyone to meet. I got brave in a hurry using a few mental gymnastic moves I had learned. Now, if I'm interested in someone, I am not afraid to go up to them and begin a conversation spontaneously.
Still, it seems as if all the good ones are taken.
