Do you struggle with them or not ??

Personally I´m about to give up on ever being able to be in a close relationship. I suck at it !

Definitely struggle with romantic relationships. In the past year I have tried though, I’ve gone on some dates, but it’s difficult. Dating sites unfortunately, freak me out, guys text me and then stop and “ghost” me. Sometimes meet guys at meetup events and seems as though they really like me and I’m not into them or vice versa. Next I’m going to try to get up the nerve to ask a nice, happily married female friend in a meetup to set me up with a nice guy.

I thought about naming myself MGTOW man, but lots of people associate MGTOW with misogyny.

I am so far from romantic relationships I am literally just happy to enjoy men in a purely platonic sense. Just happy to see them and get to look at them, maybe even flirt for a second. That is a win for me.

Never have, hope one day that will change....
I don't know where to begin frankly..

I get opportunities... but then I am so extremely awkward the ladies just back right off after a mere sentence or two are exchanged.
The exception to this is when I've been kind of forced to get to know someone, say through an inpatient type set-up.
Then I may have several conversations... even flirt a tiny bit (really tiny)
But...... nothing ever comes of it; because I don't want it to. It's all I want, but I don't want it - as the potential humiliation and exposure for myself is too much to even consider. So If it's going well (for my standards) I avoid. I may even sabotage the conversation just so that I feel justified in leaving, or to make them want to leave...... I just can't stand closeness.
It's all I desire but it's literally physically painful. I can't bare it.
Don't know how on earth to get through this. Compassion, therapy and exposure to socialising with others I guess.... but that is tough.
