Howe do you know his standards are high

It’s less my standards are high and more my social anxiety makes it impossible for me to try going up to strangers.

I think it’s less the virginity and more the fact I’ve never dated anyone or had a real romantic connection with someone.

Nope. I only had a single date in my life and never had any relationship close to dating or a situationship ever. I’m socially awkward and anxious and I know the only way to fix it is by getting myself out there but I wouldn’t even know where to start.

I think it’s less the sex and more the lack of any true romantic relationships or connections.

that’s fair, honestly I kinda felt that way too until I realized that like, not being in as many romantic relationships or experiences didn’t make me lesser of a person than those who had. like obsessing over it since others around me had them made me rush into bad decisions or made me feel worse overall. it’s better to just wait and take it slow

Yea. That’s definitely a much healthier way of thinking about it.

I’ve tried that and it’s all shit. Like genuinely absolute shit.

well start by embracing rejection. embrace the idea of people saying no and don’t take it personally. embrace the idea of new and fun experiences. embrace living naturally and authentically over living perfectly. show up as yourself and love it

I don’t know why that would make me feel better. I’m sorry that people put such terrible expectations on you.

yeah it’s unfortunate. A lot of guys think i’m lying and then try anyways and get surprised when they are rejected😢
