Ran into a female friend yesterday that the bar (one I'm not gaming). It's a nice day so we are sitting outside with another guy having drinks. She's talking about some idiot that blew up her phone.
He had the hots for her but she had turned him down. She liked his roommate, made out once, but it went nowhere. Anyway, for whatever reason, she decided to show him his roommate's flirty text to her. He later goes home, tells his buddy/roommate, and a fight ensues. So that's the set up.
Butthurt guy who first got rejected starts blowing up her phone at 2:00-3:30am. He's whining about her showing his roomie the text. Complaining and btiching mixed with "I'd still put a ring on your finger."
This goes on for a while. She responds sporadically with, "This is not my problem. Why are you writing me at this hour?"
And so on.
His AFC texts go on and on and on.
And now she's at a bar showing them to strangers.
Even if there was an outside shot he had with her, it's totally blown now. He, in this case, had no shot. But the point is that there are times for some of us that we extinguish any attraction/intrigue by doing the wrong thing at the the wrong time. Think about the times you've done that?
Here's three rules to keep in mind (clearly not exhaustive, just instructive):
(1) Don't ever show a woman you are butthurt. Man up, walk away, move on. It is possible that it might turn around later, but it will definitely NEVER happen if you dump your butthurt on her. If you have a problem not showing it, leave the situation.
(2) Be careful what you text a girl. She'll show it around. And, just simply refrain yourself from trying to game a girl via text when you are drunk, when you are more emotional and irrational. You'll come off as weak. Put the phone down and step away slowly.
(3) It was either Rollo or Roissy (or maybe Roosh) from whom I first learned about the "jumbotron" rule. Would you be embarassed if your text was broadcast on a huge jumbrotron at a stadium for 1000s to see? If so, delete.
This AFC broke all these rules. If your text and/or gaming efforts break any one of them, better off to let it be.
