I hadn't really adressed this before, but it has occurred to me that I have become terrified of approaching women. I guess at 24, it's early stages, but I'm feeling more and more detached all the time. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to just help me nip it in the bud. I'm not asking for a just-add-water girlfriend here, thanks all.

I know this an overused saying, and you've probably heard it more than once...but BE YOURSELF!
I understand the fear and anxiety that goes through the mind when you want to approach someone but just don't have the courage, but that anxiety mostly comes from you thinking your not gonna make a good first impression. The truth is, as long as you aren't rude and creepy, a lot of women are very approachable once you finally start to talk to them. Don't try to act like something your not, because that's pretty much the same as lying, and that's never a good thing.
Most women appreciate someone who is down to earth with them, the only women that aren't are probably too shallow and prissy to even be worth talking too. Judging by your profile picture, you seem like a very handsome gentleman, so I don't see why any girl would be opposed to talking with you :)

Most times would rather be out in the bush getting shot at, than apprach a woman. So your not alone.

ok, plain and simple- BE YOURSELF AND BE HONEST. trust me, it fricking works! about the honesty, i've found that telling lies (which i am pretty good at, and because of that i know just how much work it is......) is way more work than the short-term 'gain'. simple as that.

The general opinion is just be yourself B. If you try to be something your not then you set yourself up for a million other problems. I know that you are a really caring person and that goes a LONG way with girls. It's the little things that count not the grand gestures.
If you approach a girl and she knocks you back then she doesn't see you for the person you are and so not worth knowing in the long run.
