Dating is defintly nearly impossible with SA when you just can't speak to anyone.
This is my problem, exactly. Can't approach anyone and if they approach me, I have a hard time opening my mouth even though I really want to. If I find the guy attractive, it's about 100000000 times harder. I have embarrassed myself by not being able to respond at all before while they just talked at me, thinking I'm "anti-social" (people misuse this term all of the time) or that I'm mute.
