I hide my sexual desires and needs because I feel ashamed of them

I put attractive women on a pedestal.
(I feel inferior, become agreeable, try too hard, or overcompensate to look tough.)

I feel envy or jealousy when I see other men with the relationship or life I want.
(Like I'm falling behind while everyone else moves forward.)

I don't know how to sexually escalate
(move from talking all the way to a date or the bedroom)

Around an attractive woman, I get tongue-tied, my mind goes blank, or I can't approach.
(I freeze up, laugh too hard, or just avoid going over altogether.)

I overthink and hesitate myself out of moments with women I want.
(I over-analyse every text, second-guess myself, and stay paralysed until the moment passes.)

I'm drawn to women who are broken, wounded, or chaotic.
(I tell myself I can help her, change her, or save her.)

I start fantasizing about the future after a date or two, or sometimes even before meeting them

I feel empty and lost.
(I can't clearly say what I stand for, what gives my life meaning, or what I'm here to become.)

I can be very jealous, controlling, and needy with certain partners, obsessing that they'll leave or cheat on me

I try to impress my dates with money, false confidence, lying or boasting without realising

I feel anxious or insecure about my sexual performance with a new partner

I am afraid to say something that might hurt, offend, or put them off me

I find it hard to trust my gut about certain partners, often ignoring red flags
(She's flaky, dishonest, or treats me poorly — and I override it.)
