First the bad news: Yes, this seems to be true.
Now the good news: (no Jeff, not John 3:16, you already know that!  :-)  )
The good news is that it (being nervous/uptight) goes away with
experience.  Probably never goes away *completely* but it ceases to
be a major problem.  This is one reason why I've been encouraging
you to take you-know-who up on her offer of SO-ship.  Having
someone care about you and *accept* you does wonders for all
those anxieties.

(note to the lady with the silk scarf - that applies to you too!  (-;   )

Jeff, if the lady who sent you the photo is the one I'm thinking
of, you already know how she feels about you.  At any rate, some
people are into photos, some people aren't.  Don't make a big
deal about it.  If you want to analyse something take up chess
or the stock market.  Relationships work better if you just
enjoy them.
