Re: Give advice about my friend
[ QUOTE ]
SO I Went out with a friend last night. The guy is 22 and I don't think he has kissed a girl. Now I have other friends who are not that successful with woman but the reasons are more obvious. This guy is 6'3, good looking, and extremely athletic. He has good personality and is very fun when its just a small group where he is comfortable. [/ QUOTE ] Dude, just ask him out.

Re: Give advice about my friend
I thought this was describing me, except I'm 23. Yeah, it's social anxiety.. I'm still trying to work through it on my own and "grow out of it" before I seek professional help.
Part of it too is admitting there's a problem. It's easier to just sit at home all the time and pretend that you like to be alone, rather than admit you have a crippling fear of new people/new situations. That's where I'm at, anyway. Eventually he'll change on his own, change via help or perhaps blow his brains out. Let him work it out though, it's his life.

Im willing to bet that if one of the more outgoing people in the group got him and introduced him to the people there he would be fine. [/ QUOTE ] this is actually good advice, but don't make it look like you're singling him out and introducing him. like mingle as a duo, as you do most all the initial talking. go up to someone, introduce yourself, then your friend, then start up a topic of conversation. last thing you want to do is end with your friend in the limelight. he will hate it, and probably run. after a while, he'll see how easy it is, and move on to doing this stuff himself.
