I just don't get why it seems to happen to me. I work out, will talk to anyone, and have great self confidence. I will talk to any girl, get their number, all that stuff. But when it comes to actually dating them I get terrified. I have no idea what it is but, I just can't seem to do it without getting anxious. Here I'll do any example.

The last 3 weeks I've been going on a few dates with this girl. She is gorgeous, easily a 9/10. We have a great time when we are together and have knocked out the first kiss and all that jazz. Now what's causing issues with me now is her texting habits. She is always wanting to text and I don't mind that but, I start to get anxious after a while. I get all worried that I will bore her after a while if the texting gets stale. So when her texting habit changes a little (like her not responding for hours on end) I kind of worry. So instead I will avoid texting her and I know that isn't helping.

I think a big thing is I'm worried about getting too close to someone and getting rejected. Getting rejected by a total stranger isn't a problem but, the thought of being close to someone and them leaving me is scary I guess. So instead I avoid getting close to woman in a romantic sense and it makes me miserable. I want to have that romantic connection with someone/have someone I can tell anything too but, I guess I'm too scared of it. 

P.S. vulnerability is a pain

I don't really have confident issues, until it comes to dating. Terrified of getting close to someone and them leaving

sometimes I just get anxious about dating and I just don't know why.
