I used to be too shy. Now I'm less shy, but just don't put enough effort into it. I end up as "just friends" on the rare occasion that I do go after someone. Women say that being yourself is the right way to go, but they just want to be friends with the real me since I'm such a nice guy to hang out with.
Part of the issue is my size. Just standing, I fill the average doorframe heightwise, and almost fill it shoulder-to-shoulder. I'm too intimidating to approach, and if I approach anyone who doesn't know me, they get defensive and afraid. Once I get to know someone, it's too late.
