Anyone with anxiety having relationship problems?

Asked by idream3r (439points) June 14th, 2016

I’ve been having issues approaching women. Mainly due to my anxiety and financial status. Financially I am not stable at the moment. Still living with my parents and attempting to save up for my own place. Living in NYC is not easy. Plus I began working very late. Currently 27, began working at 25. Did a bit of freelancing before then but was not making that much money. At my age having my own place is essential. Especially when dating, don’t want to take a date back to my parents place.

Women do show interest, but they want me to make the first move. Today I was exiting the train for work. A women from the other side of the train car walked toward my side as the train was stopping. The entire time she was walking we kept looking at each other. As we were going down the stairs ( it was mainly just me and her) she began walking very close to me, to the point that our shoulders touched. We were also walking in the same stride. It was just me and her walking down the stairs. It was as if she was waiting for me to say something. However I did not and kept walking. I regret it so much. This happens quite often. I just get cold feet and just ignore them.

Had she said something to me first I would have most definitely asked for her number. I guess am more of an introvert. I am pretty shy by nature when it comes to approaching women. I guess its because I never really had a girlfriend. More like friends with benefits. I am working hard on getting a better job so I can save enough to move out.
