Steve i guess it really made me... hm not dull... but a bit picky when i search for a relationship.
The perfect relationship won't just appear, no matter how long you wait. You have to work with someone to create it.
Steve still i am very shy when talking to women i meet the first time and it takes a lot of time before i feel comfortable enough to open up and/or trust someone enough.
Try asking women out before you know them well, and then using your dates to figure out how well matched you are. There's no harm in dating someone a few times, realizing it won't work, and respectfully ending it.
