I'm considering going into seclusion for a month or so.

Ok, not total seclusion... clearly that would be a bad idea. However, i need to work on building my confidence, shrugging off problems that are really insignificant in the grand scheme, and work on becoming comfortable around women.

Unsurprisingly, i didn't get any matches in the speed dating... but i don't think i should be hard on myself. After all, that was a night where people probably went there with something specific in mind... maybe even a bit of husband hunting.

And me? Well, let's just say i'm into having fun right now and rediscovering myself as well as different women. I'm not terribly interested in dating as much as i am getting to know women and figuring out what's working and what isn't.

Getting over the shyness, but i don't think i'm having a problem there... just a few awkward pauses. I need to become more engaging too.

Having said that, i seem to be developing great rapport with the branch manager of my new bank... so some things are going great!

However, i still don't think a state of quasi-seclusion will be bad. It should enable me to get caught up on my homework, side projects, and sleep! Normally i have my taxes in the mail on February 1, so i'm already over a week behind!
