Hi, can someone give me some pointers on how to overcome this fear? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

See, I've been single all my 26 years of life,and ive got many close male friends around me almost all the time. They are so protective and so caring and loving that i am so content with them around.

My problem is that everytime someone is making an advance and would hint some intimacy, i either shoved them away or make some lame excuse for hîm tô lose interest on mè eventually. And i only do this even if it make me feèl lonely inside just to feel relîèf from the anxiety i feel whenevèr he is around.

Im really confused and it is so frustrating. I wanted to get this over with but i dont know where to start. My girlfriends doesn't get me and my male friends would just say maybe i haven't met the right one yet.

Love to hear from anyone.
