Ok, so it's actually kind of a big problem. I was on a trip with a girl I really like the past few days, but unfortunately nothing really culminated. Long story short, I'm pretty sure I nearly bored her to death, annoyed her a bit with my shyness, and upset her with my lack of "masculine activity." I haven't heard from her since we got back from our two and a half day vacation, and I'm beginning to worry she is now a lost cause.
While I was wallowing in my misery, I came to a dramatic, yet obvious, conclusion: I'm a wuss around girls I like. I realized that when I'm hanging out with girls who I don't care too much about, I'm outgoing, funny, and cocky. But when I'm on a date with a girl I hope to begin a serious relationship with, I'm the exact opposite. I'm pretty sure this is why my success rate is depressingly low.
Does anyone have any advice on how to overcome this problem? And someone please tell me I'm not the only one who does this.
