I'm curious how others handle dating when they suffer from severe anxiety. I don't consider myself an ugly man but that being said I haven't had a date in close to 5 years now. I have had chances but I always back out thinking how can I bring someone else into my mess of a life. But I am tired of being alone and don't know what to do... I'm 42 and feel like I will be alone forever!!! What can I do?
