Outside of the world of relating with girls, do you tend to avoid risk to stay safe? Do you take risks at all? If you do - what kind of risks?

Also, you said that one of your best friends made her his GF. That makes me conclude that you not only have friends, but have so many friends that many of them qualify as BEST friends. This is, of course, consistent with your self-assessment as 'good social life". However, to get and keep friends one has to open up to them at least a bit. So you have managed to open up to friends but yet are apprehensive of opening up to a potential gf? If so, why so?
