Faking confidence can be really, really effective. When it comes to dating, if you fake confidence you'll either completely lose it when you actually get together and become a weird barnacle crybaby (not good), or you'll actually become a more confident person. Also, I know others have said this, but poetry before dating (and after dating, for a certain period of time) sends off the desperate stalky vibe.

Faking confidence... that doesn't sound too appealing to me. But then I have no notion of how to fake something like that. Even though in most cases that involve direct human contact I am a very self-conscious and nervous person, it has been said to me that on some level I'm actually a very confident person. This is the part of me that I have been hiding for all these years, thinking it made me BAD. So now I've got to make it possible for that part of my character to surface from the shadowy depths and grow in the nurturing daylight. (I do sound like a silly twat sometimes )
As I work on this, I think it best that I forget about dating for the time being... so it's likely there won't be any more posts in this thread for a while.

Good luck! I hope you start feeling better about yourself soon. It sounds like once you can get that in order, the rest will start to fall in place.
