I'm afraid to talk to women not because I find them intimidating or anything like that. It's instead because I don't want to invest my time and energy into a relationship that blossoms only for it to one day fall apart and me get cheated on. Then I'd be alone as I am now. Dating in general just seems like taking a gamble or throwing the dice and hoping the odds play out in my favor. And with my luck, it won't turn out favorably.

I'm also afraid of ever having sex not just because I don't want to become a father, but also because of performance anxiety. Managing to convince a beautiful woman to come back to my place or me go to hers and things get hot and heavy, only for me to finish in sub-par time, maybe even worse. All that time and energy built up to basically just a few moments of pleasure for me and almost none for her. I'd be a disappointment.

I've yet to even be kissed by a girl and I'm almost 30. Yet those two things, aside from of course insects and heights maybe, are the two biggest things I fear most.
