I know. I was always fine with being a virgin, but in the back of my mind I kinda hoped a girl would talk to me first and do the dirty work for me. Whenever it did happen it was either a girl I didn't like, a man, or I didn't capitalize because the hints were too vague. I'm not even an incel looking man, people mistake me for being an athlete all the time and are surprised when they find out I've never had a gf.

Point is, the world of sex and love will mercilessly pass you by if you don't go through the humiliation ritual phase of talking to girls who are highly likely to be offended by your audacity to express interest in them. Even as I slowly march towards middle age I still can't bring myself to do it. Fear is a factor, but I could overcome that easily, its more so that my desire for sex doesn't outweigh the desire to avoid the embarrassment of rejection and offending women with my presence
