How large were your physical changes and how large, if any, were the social ones? Related to anything you feel comfortable sharing, e.g. socializing/meeting new people, work, dating etc.

It's kind of interesting to me that on the one hand you're socially shy but seem to be bold enough to hit on people? At least I'm assuming you are, and that you aren't yet so attractive women openly and directly hit on you :p That seems to be unlikely for most people from what I see...

I think the difference is that 1:1 I’m pretty okay — it’s just when I’m trying to engage with a group that I start to feel uncomfortable.

Also a gay dude if that changes the equation? Especially at concerts, sometimes all it takes to start something is the right kind of eye contact.

Oh, interesting! I'd wager the other side being male probably helps a lot. I'd recently talked to some women about something similar, and only one in ten had ever hit on or asked out someone directly.

In any case, props to you!
