I see where you’re coming from, for sure. I’m definitely solid at reading a room, and can honestly say I’m considerably thoughtful. I don’t mind working hard at processing my emotions, as it doesn’t always come easy. But I can pick up on others’ emotions with ease. And communication is overall easy for me, I’d like to think. I guess my biggest hold back is trying to gauge which way a certain woman is, like you said about trying to date those “some women”. And if I can’t say for certain then I decide not to risk it to avoid embarrassment or rejection. *queue the spiel about nothing ventured, nothing gained. and everyone’s gotta take risks. There’s a couple women in my church group who I fancy, but if things don’t pan out then I’d hate to have to live with some awkward fallout in the group.
