About Me

My name is Russell J. Paulson. I used to be a painfully shy, scared-to-look-girls in the eye kid.

Then I found a program online where you basically used internet dating to get over your shyness.

The program consisted of going on twenty, one hour "coffee dates." On these dates, you practiced conversation skills, dating skills, and all kinds of other useful skills.

After about ten dates I actually felt normal meeting somebody for the first time, instead of having sweaty palms, and shaking uncontrollably.

By the fifteenth date, I was actually enjoying myself pretty much. I noticed a fantastic increase in my self-esteem and self-confidence.

I also learned about how to "screen" people before we even spoke on the phone. It's not that hard once you get the hang of it.

I met a lot of really cool, really nice people through this experience. And it helped me immensely in my every day life.

If you've never met anyone from the Internet, it can be a great way to not only find somebody special, but also to increase your social skills dramatically.

I recommend jumping in with both feet. It can be an incredibly fun, rewarding, and life changing experience, as it was in my case.
