Laplantepr, 79

Drums and Roses I've fought the shy curse all my life. When I grew up traditionally most families had a strict father who made it clear that what you wanted or how you felt was not important nor significant. Unfortunately (or fortunately according to how you veiw it) I drifted into a teaching career. Years later I've gotten better but I still am terrorized when I have to lecture to a new class. After the first few meetings with them I can calm down a little. The problem is my brain still explodes when I try to interact with a woman I am attracted to. I do date but I can't seem to carry it beyond the "friend" level. I would like to me some nice ladies who can understand the problem I am struggling with.
