JuneJulySeptember Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 AMEN! You're right about all of those things, the flaws, the lack of trying, the wiggle factor. I know a Mr. Got Wiggled. He's my brother in law. He is girl shy to a fault. I remember two really, really nice looking girls throwing themselves at him, just giving every signal a girl can give without ripping her clothes off. He just sat there in each case, afraid to act. Really, he was afraid he might do something wrong, maybe come on too strong or too weak or I don't know what. He was afraid he'd be rejected. I told him that rejection isn't so bad once you get used to it. It's not personal, but he could not understand because he was unwilling to face that fear the first time. The first time is always the roughest. Don't let that be you. Go out there and get rejected horribly. Make a game of it. Accumulate as many as you can in one night. Inoculate yourself with experience. I've been told no more than any other guy I know. Same thing with yes. Some guys get so rattled by rejection that they give up for life. It's sad but true. You have to view life in the big picture. Always. Link to post Share on other sites
Author OrangeParty Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 I hope something breaks your way soon. Anyway, time is precious. You'll never have now ever again. Don't waste it. Thank you! As I mentioned, I'm not going to lie and say I've tried very hard -- I know I haven't. Partly because there are just very few women I'm attracted to. Me having hypocritically high standards? I truly hope not. I did get rejected again yesterday though. I just walked up to her and say "wanna go out?" and her first reaction was "Sweetie, I'm old enough to be your mom." Apparently I look really young. It is fun asking someone out. Every woman so far has let me down very nicely, so it's not too bad. And I get to tell myself that "I did it and nothing bad happened". Link to post Share on other sites

Think of those women as actual people that you don't know, maybe introduce yourself first? Link to post Share on other sites

We (our whole group) had an amazing final performance last night, and I was riding on that "high" when I thought I'd try my luck since we won't see each other again. Our age difference is 12 years, but I think she thought it was more like 20+. Link to post Share on other sites
