(Substitute "social anxiety disorder" or "shyness" for "social phobia" if you wish.)
I claim this is true: to have a bf/gf, you must have done these things:
- ask someone out on a date.
- been successful on the date.
- ask the someone out for a second date.
- been successful on the second date.
- repeated the above several more times.
- ask the someone to be your bf/gf.
- maintained a committed relationship with your bf/gf for some amount of time.
These things are usually considered to be the activities that require the most social skill and social comfort. Therefore, no person who has a bf/gf, and thus has accomplished these activities, can possibly have social phobia (social anxiety disorder, shyness).
What, if anything, am I missing here?
