And now it's time to ask the shrink.

Hey, welcome to this bonus episode of shrink for the shy guy.

This is a question about dating and

feeling guilty when you don't want to have a second or third or fourth date with somebody,

something that I know many of us can relate to. And I actually recorded the answer to this

question while I was out walking. So the audio quality is a little bit lower than here in the

studio and the content was so good I wanted to just share it with you instead of trying to

re-record it because I think I hit on some really good stuff there. So just let the ambient

noise of birds and the occasional car be part of the experience.

All right.

Here we go.

Enjoy.

Here's a question from a listener named Emily.

Emily says, hey, Dr. Ziz, you are the most amazing man in the world.

Actually, that's not how she starts her question at all.

But that's what I read, because that's what confidence is.

You just read into everyone telling you that you're awesome all the time.

No, but she says, hey, Dr. Ziz, how are you?

I want to reach out and ask you a question

for you to answer on your show. It's about dating. I remember you talked about when you used to date

that, when you used to date women, you felt if the woman liked you, you felt responsible for making

her feel very special.
