Walking on eggshells - that is a perfect metaphor for me in terms of anything to do with sex, dating, relationships

Because it's too difficult to keep that up ad-infinitum, given up on those things is the most logical solution to regain some sense of sanity and deal with a completely empty self-esteem/worth/confidence 'tank' that is black box that can't be opened.

Bro, relax. You are probably in the easiest age bracket to meet women, bar none.

Mature women are really forgiving. They’ve experienced life and simply want a real relationship where someone cares about them and has a job. It’s not a tough list.

If you put them on a pedestal before you even meet them, you’re going to fail. Smile. Have fun. Just be nice and you’ll do just fine.

Women aren’t walking around at your age thinking they’re all that. They know their flaws and yours too. We’re all flawed.

Just go for it.
