Is it as many people describe? Do you have an easy or difficult time with it?

Had a few attempts at it myself, didn't end very well. It's a painful experience, and it lingers too. You usually never get texts first, and that's simply because in order for that to happen, you gotta stand out from a huge crowd of guys. It forces you to roll the dice yourself and initiate, which is terrifying.

    I rolled the dice on myself and walked away bankrupt.

    It hurts bad, and for a very long too. it's a feeling I find quite difficult to describe, like a nauseous feeling, the worst I had ever felt was before high school ended for me and I managed to bomb a perfectly fine platonic relationship. The regret afterward lingered for years and years. I had lost the confidence to attempt again.
