My problem is that I can talk to any girl; hot or not, with no problem... UNLESS I REALLY like them. That's when I start to over think. A lot of my friends at work or school always wonder why I'm hardly ever dating someone, and most of the time it's because I either screw up or don't even try.
If THEY initiate a conversation with me, then I'm perfectly fine, but it's very difficult to start a conversation with someone you like. My mind thinks of every possible scenario before I approach, and at the last minute, I have the dreaded "WHAT IF?" question.
The ONLY time I ever am great in conversation is once I'm out of a relationship or depressed, as odd as that sounds. I become apathetic about what anyone thinks about me and I just say and do whatever the hell I want. For instance, on Christmas eve last night, I started doing stand up for my coworkers (about 10 people) and ended up entertaining the bar (100 people) over the course of the night (since I am naturally VERY LOUD and use strong gestures). I use it as my upper and then feel down once it's over.

I don't really know what the problem actually is to be honest... Is it my looks? My interests? Behaviour? Personality in general? Never had a girl flirt with me or say something which could be interpreted as interest... Or am I just bad at reading signals? These sort of doubts gnaw at my self confidence when I sit in solitude and ponder these sort of questions.

It is so comforting to know i'm not alone. The one conclusion i've come to from my experience is that i HATE my taste in girls. I always fall for the one EVERY other guy likes and wants to talk to, anyone seen "Something About Mary"? I always fall for Mary, and that ruins any chance from the start.
I wish i could just fall for someone who wasn't so beautiful and intelligent and funny and gorgeous, but then at the same time, i'm afraid i'm gonna end up settling for someone i don't like as much anyway...
