This site has really helped me out when dealing with girls. The DJ Bible has taught me a lot of new things. Many of the posts and the advice I receive have improved my game as well. My confidence with approaching girls has surely improved.
Despite the improvements, I have not seen much in the way of success. Obviously my game is far from perfect, but I feel something should have worked by now. My friends - hardly the ones to sugarcoat things and who have seen me in action - have said, "What you have had to endure with girls and their behavior is not normal." "I didn't think a girl would do that, but that's really f***ed up" and, "You are the unluckiest guy I have ever met." I go into every approach confident that I can get the girl. But rejection after rejection, many of which are unnecessarily harsh, it's begun to eat away at me. Every time my hopes are up, they come crashing back down.
Here are some instances of what I mean, taken from the past 1-2 years (sorry if it's a little long):
- In 2010, I have been on two first dates. Both girls might have been interested in things other than me. The first girl thought going for drinks was something "just friends" do. The second girl thought going on a date with me would impress my friend, who has a gf he will not cheat on. I have read that it takes, "half a brain" to get a second date. My friend's gf's have even said that a girl will most often give a guy 2-3 dates at the very least. Clearly, that doesn't help my confidence, especially when FR's posted here suggest I made no glaring mistakes.
-I made out with two other girls this year at a party. Too bad my friends paid each of them $10 to do it and didn't tell me until afterwards. One of my friends is an alcoholic who embarrasses himself when drunk, another friend has a Santa beard and is overweight, and another friend I have never seen talk to a girl...yet they have had more success than me, and they don't really know how to game.
-Last year, I invited two girls I know to a party (family friends who I had caught up with a month earlier, but only see once every couple of years). One of the girls wanted to go to sleep at the party, never a wise decision. It was loud, a few friends and I were near her room maybe a little loud b/c we were buzzed. She opens the door, berates me in front of my friends, and then leaves at 5am. She hasn't spoken to me since.
-Last year, a girl I had liked turned me down. Fine...she flaked on me twice with bad excuses, so be it. Last week, she messages me on Facebook wanting to hang out. Through one of my good friends, I learned that she and her guy friend wrote the note as a joke, trying to make fun at my expense.
-Another girl (from my college) and I began talking back-and-forth on Facebook. I cut to the chase and asked her out. She was going on vacation that week, but she said that sounds great and she'd let me know more when she's back. Since she's been back...she's deleted or ignored any initiation I've tried. The two deleted wall posts were the scandalous, "Hey how was Europe?" and, "Happy Birthday." The actual plan for a date - which I messaged her - went unreplied.
-I have had date plans or meeting a girl through a mutual friend cancelled due to the girl/mutual friend's power outage, a car accident, wisdom teeth being pulled out and a cell phone that died (all of these were surprisingly true). When I tried to make plans with the girls a few days later, the iron wasn't hot anymore and nothing came of it.
-A girl I was not romantically interested in and I got along well in a class we were in. Towards the end of the year, we had a Senior event where we all went to a casino. Her and I were texting...until I brought up how we should meet up there for a little gambling. She stopped responding and I never say her after that.
I know the examples I posted are excessive, but I wanted to provide a clear picture of what's been going on. I am not physically unattractive; no Brad Pitt, but I am in terrific, athletic physical shape. I am responsible and try to be considerate to all. I am talkative with wit/humor and can easily break the ice with people (helps to be somewhat intelligent/worldly lol).
-My friends are also aware of my troubles years before, such as two girls making their rejecting me a show for the school and some girls saying they'd prefer to skip Prom than go with me.
Regardless, I cannot explain all of the hostility. A girl can just turn me down and say no, I'm not interested...but they choose to either ignore me to no end or make a spectacle out of the whole thing. I can understand if I was being an a**h0le all the time, but I'm probably closer to being nice than being a jerk (though I never take sh*t from anyone). Lately, I have had trouble finding a genuine girl who is also interested. Also, I don't have any girls who I'm friends with or ones who initiate anything with me these days.
Apologies for the length of this post, but I wanted to get my frustrations out. I have been studying the "game" and know some of the things I'm trying are the right things to do, but absolutely nothing has worked lately. Everyone (even AFC's or people who don't know anything about gaming) gets lucky with girls at some point, but I've yet to find that luck. What do you make of this? Why might girls go through such extents to try and put me down? It seems all these girls see me as some sort of ego boost.
