And since I don't want to post more than one in one day.... I will add to this.....
What do you think I should buy, a Lamborghini or an Aston Martin?
I'd go with the Lambo, but then I've wanted one since I was 7. It's not something I'd buy to impress women, because the only women you'll get that way are gold diggers and they'll never love a guy who's afraid to even look them in the eye.

I just thought of an idea that will make me a millionaire (at least). But inexpensive houses and turn them into drug recovery houses. Put two beds in each room and charge $150/week. I can profit almost $50,000/year on a $30,000 house this way. Do this repeatedly and this will grow my income until I can start investing in apartment complexes and hotels and it will just take off from there. I will own 1000s of hotels all over the world.
Yeah, this should work great! There's no way whatsoever that putting a bunch of drug addicts together could lead to them relapsing. And there's no drug addict in the world that used all his money on drugs rather than rent! This plan is flawless!
In case you aren't good at detecting sarcasm: Things like this are usually done as charities, because they don't have a chance in hell of actually making money. You could consider running a rehab clinic, but that takes more than just a cheap house and a few cots... $50k a year wouldn't even cover the staff you'd need to keep all the addicts from relapsing.

I do see a counselor. But why do you say I should see one? What specifically do you think my issues are?
You mean aside from:
"Yet I am still scared to look girls in the eye (sometimes). Why is this?"
Oh, and let me backtrack a bit. We can't answer your original question, only you know why you're afraid of women. Work with your counselor on that. By the way... counselor... is that a licensed therapist? Or some kind of social worker or something?
I ask because it sounds like you have anxiety, which there are specific approaches to help with. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is supposed to be the best way, so make sure counselor is trained in that and then start working on your anxiety.
There's also a website I just learned about called Joyable. Essentially it's self-guided CBT Seems expensive, but since you're about to be a millionaire I'm sure you can afford it.
That said one of the big parts of CBT when dealing with anxiety is to face it. So go approach women, talk to them and look them in the eye.
That said, you may be sensing some annoyance towards your question from the more experienced PUAs around here... that's because you're asking questions which basically show you've done nothing whatsoever. You joined a month ago and haven't read any thread on how to approach women? Half the threads on this forum are about openers. Did you do the newbie mission at the top of the forum? That's the first step you need to take. That is the answer to everything you asked in your initial post.
