I’m a 27 (m) that has no serious dating experience in my life. I’ve never had a titled girlfriend, mostly just fwb or “situationships” if you want to call it that. I guess I’ve been spoiled in my earlier years not having to do what I call “jester” for women’s attention. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized if I want to actually attract a quality woman and potentially have a real relationship I have to change my behaviour/mindset. The problem is, despite knowing doing certain things is important (buying flowers, checking up, being extra sweet, compromising, etc) I find myself having to overcome such a huge feeling of shame and embarrassment. Obviously I’ve tried just fighting through it but it just feels so inauthentic? Why would I be feeling like this trying to make someone happy? Does that mean I’m forcing it? Did I not meet the right person? Is it simply my ego is completely out of check? Just wanted to post this here to see if anyone has experienced something similar and how they were able to navigate it. submitted by /u/FourthQuarterVibes14
