Hate the feeling that i'll be left on the shelf.
I really do think its tougher to meet people and form a romantic relationship, the older you get. By my age, 31, loads of people have babies and marriage, which makes meeting somebody who is single, who you have things in common with, somebody who you connect and somebody you actually fancy, increasingly hard. Throw anxiety into the mix and its fiendishly difficult. I don't go around hoping that i'll form a relationship with whoever, because with past experiences they just happen. I form friendships but i always get stuck in the friend zone, wether that is because of me i'm not sure. I'll explain.
As a guy, i find it really hard, because
1. i'm too scared to make a move incase i get rejected which would seriously affect my self esteem as its not great anyway.
2. I'm worried they'll think i'm too pushy or just after sex.
3. i've read the signals wrong and i'll make a fool of myself.
4. a lot of women like men to make the first move, refer back to no 1,2,3.
Just worried i'll never meet anybody again who'd feel the same about me as i do about them.
