Just trying to see the demographic of love shy men, and see if there is anything in common.
I am not psychiatrist, psychologist, sociologist, or anything of that sort, I'm a love shy myself, just curious about who we are.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Love-shyness, a specific type of severe chronic shyness that impairs or prevents intimate relationships,is a degree of inhibition and reticence with potential partners that is sufficiently severe to preclude participation in courtship, marriage and family roles.According to this definition, love-shy people find it difficult if not impossible to be assertive in informal situations involving potential romantic or sexual partners. For example, a heterosexual love-shy man will have trouble initiating conversations with women because of strong feelings of social anxiety.
