>>26613659Pretty much, but you have to realize to people like him (and me in the past), we place women on pedestals and/or think too much about what's happening rather then... socializing and interacting like a normal human being.
For me it's only the girls that I actually like. Ugly girls and girls I don't find attractive I can talk to perfectly fine.
>>26613483As for you, what I did was start flirting on random girls at various public places (the mall, grocery store, wherever), definitely helped me out. Second step was going to a bar, getting drunk, and striding up to the hottest bitch in there and flirt with her. Sure you get shot down, but you learn from the experience every time (and might even get lucky).
