Maybe that's what's wrong with me, I don't know. It used to be unbearable when I was playing multiple sports. He talked me into getting a massage once. The lady was ugly as chit, but I still had to change my underwear afterwards. They hit these ten pressure points and I've never felt something so good.

Sly, a few nights ago you told me you had a story for me. Still care to share?

They were about women that you (me) never approached and later found out that I should have. Nothing spectacular.

Some years ago, I was over on the strip prior to a ball game and went to Spicy's for food and drink. I knew the owners, so free stuff. Someone there left with me as I headed towards O'Charley's to continue the pregame warm up drinking. The girl I was with knew the people running O'Charley's so we got a rush treatment for a table. Next table over was a girl that I went to grammar school and high school with. She was the first girl I had a huge crush on but never made a move because I was timid and shy back then. She recognized me and waved us over. In introducing the girl I was with to her, I said, _______ I'd like you to meet the girl I was in love with from the 7th grade through high school. The girl looked like....Wut? I never knew. You never said or asked me out. I said that I was afraid to because she was so attractive and always had the jocks around her. She said "You should have. I would have gone out with you in a minute". Anyway, the bottom line was that if you don't ask, you never know. Learned something there. Thought it might stir something in you towards asking the new girl out. I have a few other stories like that, but same ending.

I've definitely had moments when I've held in feelings or not made a move and really regretted it later. Down in Key West, for example, I found three girls I was incredibly attracted to, and never made a move. One was probably the hottest girl I've seen in my life. Another was eye****ing the **** out of me and I said nothing. I feel like such a ***** when I do stuff like that.

I think I need a Chiro but afraid to go to anymore after my last experience. They can do whatever they want but have to leave my neck alone. If I stand in one spot for a time, I get a lower back pain that radiates down through the front of my right leg. It feels partially numb and my big toe on my right foot feels like I have a sock scrunched up under it. I can walk fast/run 5 miles on a treadmill at 6 mph with no problem. But, stand in one spot, it's not good.

Either that, or an ortho.

I don't know why that guy couldn't follow directions. Maybe if you go in there and lay down the law and explain why they will be more receptive.

I've had the same symptoms as you. My right leg went totally numb for about 3 days. It was scary as hell. My problem was in my hips, which caused bad lower back pain. Could be same deal for you.

That's what I'm saying. You're going to get over it at some point, so why not now. I know that when you're younger, as I was, it's scary. You, or I, worried about the embarrassment of being shut down. I'll tell you what I've learned in a lifetime of experiences, but it'll have to wait a few minutes while I refresh my beer.

There are some moments when I don't care if a girl says no. At the club I can handle the occasional no. I will chat up any girl, I don't know what it is about the atmosphere, but I am sort of fearless.

I just need to learn how to start conversations and be more outgoing. Once I get to talking, all the nerves go away.

Therein lies the clue. When you talk to a girl at a club, bar, church, whatever, talk to them like a person. Just normal conversation. I can't type what I'm thinking, but everyone wants to be treated as a human being and maybe, a little special is second. I've been around so many people with those ridiculous pick up lines, it embarrass me. You just go up to whoever and say, Hi my name is so and so. Would you like to dance, shoot pool, talk, etc. depending on the setting and circumstances. Everyone wants to talk or hear about themselves, so you lead in with light questions in that manner. School, music, dancing, hopes/dreams, etc. It's not a trick or a phony thing in any way. If you ask the right questions that open someone up to tell you about themselves, it increases the comfort level. It's so simple, it drives me crazy to read what others try. People you talk to, most people, are no different than you. They want to converse on an intelligent level regarding things that concern and affect them. Simple conversation.

I might try again with disclaimers or more understanding up front. I think they do great work. Just had that one bad experience.

I'm pretty sure it's a pinched nerve. Just don't don't know why it won't go away. I'm sure I made it worse by playing golf all summer. But, I'm not doing anything now.

Haha, you are definitely right. And I know these things, it's just hard to put them into practice. I don't know why I get so nervous to talk to a girl now. Well, I do, but damn it should go away.

And not having done it in a year plus definitely sucks. I'm out of practice.
