Pallando will return in "Never Say Never Again"

[PlayDat]

He thinks the reason I haven't tried to contact her again is because I'm afraid of being rejected and that I'm giving up too easily.  I already feel like I've been blown off though.  I don't see the point in wasting anymore time and energy on someone I've already expressed interest in and who didn't show any feelings for me when I gave her the chance.  Even if she did actually forget that's still a sign that she's unenthusiastic about the prospect of spending time with me.

[Shadow Mod]

If she really wants to spend time with you she'll go out of her way to try to do so.

That's why I never understood the pursuit game.

[chronovore]

I'm still very confused about most things dating related.

• Got someone's number
• Texted her
• No response
• Run into her again
• "I was in the library at the time and forgot to get back to you.  I'll let you know next time I'm free"
• Haven't seen her since

It's been well over a week.  I told my friend I was just going to delete the number and move on, but he thinks I'm being too prideful.

This can't be read as anything other than a rejection right?  I hate feeling like I'm chasing people down.

She laid out the conditions, you’ve respected those conditions. If she wanted to contact you, she would. She still might, but you shouldn’t be waiting on her. Get out there and find the next one, and if this last girl shows up again later, well, she had her chance. LATES.

[TakingBackSunday]

Had a Halloween movie-themed date planned for yesterday, was really looking forward to it.  As I'm buying the pizza and prepping for the awesome horror-filled cuddle fest, the chick calls me and says "hey, my friend sarah is joining us, can you buy some breadsticks?"





I end up going and having an okay time with the both of them, even though I wanted to tell her to fuck off at that point.

we end up hanging out again tonight at a bar, had a fun time again, only for her to text me explicitly afterwards she just wants to be friends



fuck this earthly dimension and my terrible senses when it comes to this shit

[TakingBackSunday]

tl;dr:

[ToxicAdam]

She either brought that friend to get an opinion on you or she didn't want you putting a move on her. Sucks.

[Kara]

I believe the customary response is OnToTheNextOne.gif?

If it makes you feel any better BN, I was talking to a prospective date today and she said I sounded like I had my shit together. Can you believe that?

[Human Snorenado]

I got set up by a girl earlier this year- first date back in Atlanta, actually. She asked me to dinner at a restaurant/bar on a night when she and her friends play trivia. We had an ok dinner going, then she's all "oh hey, want to move over to this table and play trivia with my friends?"

[TakingBackSunday]

She either brought that friend to get an opinion on you or she didn't want you putting a move on her. Sucks.

Pretty much.

I don't know how you happy borians have been able to find such cool fucking girls.  At this point I've just come to the conclusion that I'm shitty and girls only come to me for a quick pick me up or treat me like a security blanket.  I just want all of them to fuck off so I can try and find some happiness.

But honestly, its really about ethics in video game journalism.

[recursivelyenumerable]

relationships more like reLOLtionships

EDIT: Stop with your strange unaware #humblebrag, Karakand. Now's not the time.

The only thing that's strange is this place's obsession with me not self-loathing at an 11 on a 10 point scale in the most direct, obvious, third grade reading comprehension manner 100% of the time. (I'm reminded of people thinking me referring to myself as a mentat was some supreme display of ego when mentats look like fucking this, are fucking drug addicts, are fucking servile things who never ascend beyond being things, and, as demonstrated quite ably by one Piter De Vries, are not necessarily even noble things.)

I mentioned that exact same thing to someone else today and they laughed at it because it's fucking hilarious that anyone would think that about me.

i recently got really high at a party w/ friends and went into this amazing continuous uncontrollable speech jam where each sentence was a higher level of metacommentary on the previous sentence, which led to my eventually having to marshal the entire transfinite cardinal hierarchy to support the resulting semantic constructions, then from there ascending into yet loftier and lonelier and more terrifying realms of symbolic rhetoric. it was the most awesome and also worst experience of my life.

Die Geister, die ich rief...

[Beezy]

A pretty bad one was when a girl I've liked for a while was finally single. I ask to meet here at the bar we usually hang out in on a date. She was all for it until I was walking over and she called to let me know that she's at my place, so a friend of hers can hook up with my roommate. So after i got back she tells me we should go to a freshman party for free drinks and so we can be each others wingmen. Declined, took that L and stayed at home.

Smh, had a similar experience recently. It wasn't as bad though because this girl already curved me like 2 months earlier when I tried to set up a 2nd date by saying "I'll let you know when I'm not busy." Never heard from her again and when I finally did see her, she was talking about being the best wingman ever so that I could get this girl who was cosplaying as Zero Suit Samus. It was at a NY Comic Con related party in case you're wondering.

Maybe the problem is the criteria for what you find attractive? At the most basic level.

I was always a guy that put a pretty face over all else. So, I would end up dating a lot of girls that were either crazy or high maintainence (or both).  Those girls were trophies I could show off to friends to make me feel better about myself (at least in my head, they were probably all rolling thier eyes at me).

It wasn't until I recognized that problem, that I was able to untrain myself from having that proclivity.  People might consider that 'settling' but it's just being practical.

[TakingBackSunday]

Maybe, but I'm attracted to a wide range of different looks, personalities, and ages, so I don't think I'm being too selective.  If I think a girl is cute, I think she's cute -- I've gone from casually dating a 24 year old short tattooed art grad to a 6'0 27 year old former women's basketball player.

This current girl who spawned my L-fest a few days ago is very normal, down to Earth.  She's not what you'd call typically pretty, but I think she has girl-next-door hot.  She dresses like a grandma and has a streak of white hair 

So I don't know.  You might be right, but I personally don't see it...or I just haven't realized it yet.

[ToxicAdam]

Oh well, thought I'd give it a shot. Could just be bad luck.

[TakingBackSunday]

I could also just be butt fugly and creepy as shit IRL

Yea, you're not an ugly dude. Maybe there is an air of desperation about you IRL? That's a big turn off to most people*.

[TakingBackSunday]

I definitely think I can come across as too strong for some girls, but that's usually because I'm really nervous and I don't feel like I'm cool enough for them in the first place.  In this current situation, it was very lax -- she called me up first and was the one who wanted to watch a movie.  I think I handled it normally.  I think with this girl, she really just wanted to be friends from the getgo.  Which is totally fine, just got mixed signals I think.

Also, I definitely do not come off as a creep IRL, thinking about it.  I don't say or do anything that's creepy.

I definitely can be eager though.  That's been a problem for a long time that I've tried to get better at.

best to let them make the play bro. Wait for them to touch you, or say something flirty, or do something to get attention, etc. If they are interested they will do these things, I promise.

I get how the game is played, dude.  I'm just bad at it.

Yeah, that one is not good. Right up there with "he's an awesome guy" and "I wish more guys were like him"

[Human Snorenado]

Here's the real real- women will always say they're looking for smart and funny, but what they're really looking for is confidence.

As the human avatar for self-doubt, that leaves me at a bit of a disadvantage.

Honestly women are competitive bro. That's why it's easier to find one when you have one. Being married sends of like a signal to every girls brain to see if they can fuck shit up.

Wish that wasn't true, but it is.
