Anyone here ever live in a small town where they're afraid of rejection so much that they don't even try?
Like, I asked a girl at Borders if she was single once. That was last summer. I see her every single time I go to Borders now - she works at the bakery. It's not awkward, but it's just like damn. And then the other day at Barnes and Nobles I saw some chick, and then I saw her at school today and said hello. The town is so damn small, if you see someone who looks familiar, it's them!
It's like I see the same people everywhere. I'm afraid of rejection because I'll have to live with it every single day for as long as I live here.
I used to live in a city with about 500K-1M population. It's awesome not having to run into the same people everyday. You guys who live in big cities got it good.
It's like, I talk about someone to a coworker - and oh, that's there neighbor! If I mention a tiny detail about my own neighbor, they automatically can guess what street I live on! There are some positives about living in a small town. You can get hooked up at stores and stuff because it's really easy to "know people" and calling up the radio station is really easy to get on the air.
Everybody is super friendly here, so "approaching" doesn't really make sense. Everyone approaches everyone. It's just a matter of closing or trying to exchange contact info. But if you get rejected it's something you have to live with.
Who here honestly lives in a small town and has no problem with rejection? It's easy to say when you live in a big place where you don't see the girl again. That's why most guys have no problem sarging when on vacation overseas or out of town. Come to where I live and you will feel my pain. I'm not moving out any time soon either. I have 1.5 years more until I graduate. I almost feel like I'm not going to get laid for another 1.5 years.
I do have friends. But it's not like I'll meet any girls through them (not that I should hope to). They don't have girlfriends either, or friends who are girls. I get invited to parties all the time. I used to go, but they're all frat sausage fests. I don't like that. I used to go out to clubs and bars too, but I got tired of those kind of girls. Even then, you see the same girls at school that are at the clubs.
