I asked a girl out....

[Martian Mermaid]

I only got rejected once.

I only asked someone out once.

OMG! What's wrong with you!

My crushes almost always have boyfriends, that's what. lol

Aaaarrrggghh, I read this thread this morning and Rod Stewart has been telling me the first cut is the deepest, all fucking day.

Hey just learn from the experience and try again
With every rejection your skin will get thicker.

If rejection determined the thickness of my skin I would be a white rino.

Asking out a group of people, as opposed to asking out one person, wouldn't that be even more awkward (than just asking out one person)?

Nope. Hey, lets all go get coffee? Anyone want to play cards in between classes or tests? I'm gonna grab a bite to eat, anyone want to join me?

It takes the pressure off one on one communication.

Ohhhhhh. And here's me thinking of blow jobs.

Meeting people is an art. Getting rejected is guaranteed. You'll get used to it---the trick is to realize that it's not really about you.

My bold. Thinking of it that way might help me!

I know that it is obviously partly to do with the girl's own person tastes. But I tend to think of it as a combination of that and also how non-unattractive and non-offputting I am.

I'm probably putting too much weight on the latter.

Maybe one day you'll find a girl that thinks "So what if I have a boyfriend?"

Those bad girls are always fun

I actually lost my virginity that way. Although she didn't have a boyfriend she had a husband lol. And she was more of a 30 year old woman than a 'girl'. Lol.

That's what I tell the people with psoriasis.

It's not a matter of "venturing" as much as it is not creeping out the one you are considering. Believe me, looking back at it now, I understand why females reacted the way they did. I came on too fast.

It is not about trying or not trying. It really amounts to being yourself. And you are far more likely to make a connection when not looking for it than if you are trying to force a script someone sold you.

I really think MK just needs to rid his body of his hormones, stop worrying about trying to create a romance movie and just live his life for himself. 

It is when you stop caring what others want and stop trying to impress people, that is when others notice you.

My X wife pursued me. I wasn't even looking to date her when I met her. I literally saw her as a mere friend when I first met her. 

I'd say that the "venture" part is only valid when you have no expectations and simply go with the flow.

I actually believe in friendships turning into more if they’re meant to be. I got married last year and my husband was once “just a friend.” 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained doesn’t necessarily mean that one’s efforts are for nothing if the end result didn’t happen. In every venture, we learn something.

My successful relationships evolved from friendships. I've never straight-up asked a stranger out. I don't think I want to. The ones that happen more organically are really special. At least, that's what I've learned so far.

But, you know, it's easier to do that kind of stuff when you're young. Especially in college. You're just around horny young people looking for love all day!

"Love" ....... Ha.

She said no when I asked if she wanted to have coffee sometime after exams........................but in a nice "I'm busy" (even after exams) way.

 I'll be ok...........................I think.......I hope...........

In Portugal we say that there are more tides than sailors. At least you tried. Do not worry. Heh, if it makes you feel better, I heard at one point "Not even if you were the last poet on earth!"



Chin up dude.
