The Love-Shy Survival Guide

This guide for individuals who suffer from love-shyness explores ways to cope with the anxiety of starting a romantic relationship, make dating enjoyable, and maintain relationships. Shockley focuses on dating from a male perspective and for a primarily male audience and discusses the causes of the condition and how to navigate social situations, meet women, practice dating, get help from a therapist, and use medications. One chapter offers advice for women. Shockley, an internet consultant and freelance writer and editor, has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and love-shyness.
