Pisces Woman Needs Advice

I'll cut to the chase, I am a 27 year old female, who is intelligent and beautiful.
I have not had a steady boyfriend in years. Basically, I have been busy with school,
and work and do not have the time. However, I want a man! Here is my issue. I
visit a therapist regularly to get over past father issues...and really feel like I am healed,
but whenever I get near a man I find attractive who smiles or flirts with me, I shut-off
and get scared to talk. Does anyone out there have this problem? Please tell me it's something
other than confidence, because believe it or not, I am actually very confident most of the time, but
you know we all have our moment. If you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is g-virgo.First off, u start off a bit shy when guys flirt with u.And that's okay.But try not to let the shyness take over your intuition.Especially when you come across the right guy or should i say "mr.right".Believe in what your heart tells you.No matter what.Just so if your shyness gets in your way, you're gonna find yourself second guessing and saying DAMN !!

I just wanted to say that I think I understand what you are going through. I am essentially very shy also, but I've always tried to cover it up, or actually never felt happy with it or comfortable with it. But that has only made me worse and be MORE unlucky in love! Because I would drink to overcome the shyness, or act impulsively, or in ways that were just not me, if I came into contact with a guy I really liked, or even just so people would like me in general. But when I was alone or in my room, it was like I could be myself and read my books and enjoy the films and music I liked. But outside I didn't let anyone see that, so I would get really drunk to try to fit in and to overcome not knowing what to say to people. When now I realise that I had a lot to say as an intelligent passionate person, I just didn't have the confidence to say it. And in the end I lost a lot of self-respect in some of the ways I behaved.
Instead of getting comfortable with the fact that I am shy initially. There is nothing wrong with that. And in fact a lot of people would feel that it is a lot more attractive than trying to be someone you're not. It is also a lot more satisfying personally because the person will like you for who you are, and you will feel like you are geting the respect you deserve. Now I want to show people I'mnot what they thinkn I am and I have a lot of potential and intelligence!
I have visited a therapist also, to do with issues growing up. Nothing major, but I realised that it can boil down to basic self-confidence (although sometimes it doesn't help when you are sensitive and other people don't help contribute to your happiness when they mistreat you.)
Anyway, if you know deep down that you are alright, and that you know what's right for you , you will be ok. People will see that and appreciate that.

Thank you for the advice you guys. I guess it is all apart of growing.
