"What if he thinks I'm not good looking enough? What if she thinks I'm boring? What if I can't think of anything to talk about?" When it comes to dating, most people have had these thoughts and fears at some point. The truth is that going on a date can be downright nerve-wracking and if you suffer from shyness or social anxiety, it is especially so. So how can you stay calm, cool, and collected as you set out on the search for the perfect mate? Single, Shy, and Looking for Love presents mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help shy singles like you get "in the game," cope with the anxiety and fear that can arise on a date, and go on to create long-lasting, intimate relationships.
