I (22M) have been having a problem recently where when I meet an attractive girl, I can’t stop my facial expression from turning to a cringed frown when I try to make eye contact. Like when my eyes go to meet hers, I have an expression expression I’m about to get hit by something, even if I try to smile.

I don’t think this is something I can just fake till I make it. Your facial changes expression faster than you can control it for the most part.

Luckily I wasn’t meeting this girl for a date, but she was a friend’s friend and we were hanging out, so after 20 minutes or so I could make conversation.

However, there’s no way I can try to ask girls out if I have this problem. How do I eliminate this anxiety?

It seems like women only want to date men who have lots of sexual experience.

I’ve never had sex or a first kiss at 22, and it seems like if I’m not perfectly good at hiding my anxiety about this (the fact that its true and the nervousness with the associated moment) and if I’m not perfect in the execution of initiating these interactions then I’m not manly enough.

On top of this, I’ve had 3 women who were friends tell me flat out that I have no sex appeal because somehow I’m apparently a walking billboard for being a virgin. This is not because I have a bad haircut or I’m not in shape, or because I’m a total asshole. This is mostly because of my apparently dorky personality and things I’ve said above.

What do?

P.S. This is both a question and venting.

How you do you handle significant anxiety?

Do women only want men with experience?
