53 year-old guy here been shy all my life & still am, whenever a stranger starts to talk to me out of the blue (which btw is very rare with me) I'm at a loss of words I can't carry on a conversation,I'm not the type to go up to people,I have tried some Meet Up groups but no luck. I feel like a dummy, yes I have some emotional/psych issues although never been in hospital I do have a job dress well I guess snappy(but not in a Ed Hardy way) etc so why do freeze up? no wonder I can't meet a women & having a girlfriend has been one of my desires in life (I'm not talking about hot Snooki party type Gucci girl but a cool & yes alternative type girl around my age) & I have told I'm not picky by my best friend. But fuck my shyness, my mumbling, my awkwardness,ugh. :(

Buddy, I hate being harsh, and I don't really know what the issue is, but I would start with your lifestyle. I am 43yo single woman and I would not hang around any 53yo 'man' who knows uses Ed Hardy, Snooki or "Gucci girl" in conversation. Where are you from? I don't live in Van proper, and maybe thats what life is like there.
I would suggest stepping away from the mall and the tv. You don't have a 53yo's frame of reference. That might be more of an issue here than your shyness.

I would really consider counseling to get to the root of your issue. Have you tried online dating? Or perhaps Craigslist? Just put your picture up on Craigslist and see what responses you get. You never know until you try. Also remember to meet in a public place.

Just a suggestion, please drop Snooki, Ed Hardy, snappy and f*ck from your vocabulary. In your effort to be socially relevant ???? as a 53 year old, it won't help you any. Good luck Man.

Just accept you're not a super talkative guy. Instead of trying to live your life a million miles an hour like a character on a TV show just find someone who YOU think is nice and try giving your love to her. Just be your awkward self with her, if that's who you are then that's who you are.
You've only got one life, might as well live it like you want, forget what "society" tells you it should be like.

"hot snookie party type". Don't want to be mean either but at 53 those words should not be uttered.
