It's amazing how my brain takes a hike when I have
to deal with an attractive woman, especially on
first contact.

I said in another followup that my fear/shyness might
date back to a bad sexual experience in 1986.

Actually my avoidance behaviour dates back to high school
especially 1979/1980, so well before bad sexual experiences
(I think with non-bi women) in 1984 and 1986. (Again
I now think I am compatible only with bi by nature women.)

I guess I still do fear love after a bad experience in 1986,
so the lyrics to Sarah McLachlan's song
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy are appropriate:

All the fear has left me now
Išm not frightened anymore
Itšs my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
Itšs my mouth that pushes out this breath

And if I shed a tear I wonšt cage it
I wonšt fear love
And if I feel a rage I wonšt deny it
I wonšt fear love

Companion to our demons
They will dance, and we will play
With chairs, candles, and cloth
Making darkness in the day
It will be easy to look in or out
Upstream or down without a thought

And if I shed a tear I wonšt cage it
I wonšt fear love
And if I feel a rage I wonšt deny it
I wonšt fear love

Peace in the struggle
To find peace
Comfort on the way
To comfort

And if I shed a tear I wonšt cage it
I wonšt fear love
And if I feel a rage I wonšt deny it
I wonšt fear love
I wonšt fear love
I wonšt fear love...
