Are you love-shy ?

Wikiverse carries a brief summary of the condition and it's implications for the sufferer.

If you have found your way here, then you may be one of us.
If most of the following statements apply to you, then it is very likely that you are love-shy.

• You are an adult male
• You have never, or very rarely had girlfriends
• You have never, or very rarely had sex
• You have remained single while all your friends dated and got married
• You are so inhibited by your fear of asking a woman for a date that you never do

If the above points fit you quite well, then you should try the SHI Inventory test and then, if you achieve a low score, come back here.

…

So you came back, I guess this means we may have a problem? Well, you are not alone. Love-shy men like us make up about one and a half percent of the adult male population. If you care to learn about the causes and implications of this condition, then you may find this transcription of a book written by Dr. Brian G Gilmartin helpful

Next, I would recommend you having a look at our Frequently Asked Questions section.

Also, you would almost certainly benefit from signing up with this support group. If you are not already a member of the yahoo groups service, don’t worry, we don’t need your real name or anything, just make up some stuff. Once you are in the group you might want to read a few messages, best to go back to the earliest messages and read a few there. You could even post a message while you are there. It doesn’t have to be your life story unless you want to, That’s how many of us introduce ourselves, but “Hi, just thought I’d say hello” would be fine.
