That is the whole problem ; you are faking it.
You should change yourself so you don't need to fake anything?
The whole point of me putting up this "front" of a confident, maybe even slightly cocky, guy is to build attraction. And I've found a way for it to work for me so that I've got pretty good looking girls shooting signals my way wanting to date or hook up.
If I don't fake that then I come off as an inexperienced, timid man. No attraction is built.
So I saw myself 2 years ago not even being able to look a girl I liked in the eye because I was so insecure and not confident with myself. Now I can flirt a lady up and build that sexual tension to the point where she might even feel a little nervous around me.
And then when the time comes for me to go in for the kill, which I've paved the road for with all my efforts, I decide not to because I feel very nervous and don't know how to proceed.
I think I need to change my mentality somehow so that when another opportunity comes up I somehow ignore the nervousness and just make a move. Even if I'm shit at it, at least I'll have done it once, and that will build my confidence for the next time I do it. I just gotta stop myself from flirting with a girl and then not doing anything to follow it up once she likes me.
Maybe go out to bars? I get girls approaching me from time to time, maybe I should have a drunken makeout/hookup to get me started. Because I can't hookup with any girls in my social circle without them spreading the word that I fucked her like a virgin
