I seem to lack confidence when it comes to anything to do with attraction/sexual attraction or talking to women I seem to have the "hots" for.

Ok, ill start with the good stuff :)

Well, im a 19 year old lad, 5'7 tall, Part white and part asian (If that makes sense) and most people say im a good looking lad. Personality wise, im a cheery and fun type of guy, always up for a laugh. I get on with the lads, and also with the females as mates very well. Infact my best friend is infact female :p I have heard from many people that i am "One of the nicest guys" they know.. Thats pretty much my nature, a "nice guy.." never meaning to cause any harm to anyone.

Now, my problem is, I seem to lack confidence when it comes to anything to do with attraction/sexual attraction or talking to women I seem to have the "hots" for.

I can talk to any girl, as a friend for hours. But when i look at a girl in a "Wow shes gorgeous" way, i seem to panic, dont know what to say, dont know how to approach her etc etc my mind seems to just go blank and i cant relax..

Ive had 2 previous girlfriends, which didnt last long, and both messed me about. This has nailed my confidence into the ground even more, so no matter how hard i try to be confident i just cant.

Now this sounds daft, but im still a virgin at 19. Ive had sexual contact, but not the whole nine yards, and this is also playing with my mind a little. I mean theres nothing wrong with being a later bloomer, but im really starting to get a little uncomfortable, especially when im not exactly getting anywhere with the ladies at all..

I dont understand how ic an be such a confident guy as friends, doing presentations ifront of 50 peopleat work, talk to strangers easily etc etc, but cant talk to women when i have an attraction to them..

I dont see myself as self-conscious either, because i love being the person i am. I just lack confidence in the ladies area...

I know this is all random, but.... help lol

A male reader, anonymous, writes (3 May 2007):

Are you a perfectionist and have some ideals about the way you should look to be physically / sexually attractive to women? I sometimes go through this thoughts that one needs to be perfect to be attractive to someone, and these thinking has been imposed by others who are themselves not perfect physically. Think about working on your physical self-esteem.
