Salvage or Leave it?

[Jumptime]

sup fellow mature men,

I'd like to brief feedback on if this is worth any further effort.

The other day I was talking with a woman. She was pretty haughty so naturally I threw some playful remarks her way to try to lighten her up a bit.

She calmed down a bit and started playing back. Then I threw another one at her and she got all serious and was apparently pissed off. I didn't really react immediately, but I knew I'd gone too far (at least for her). I joked with her like I'd joke with a friend or a sister. I backed off a bit and left her alone for a few days. I've tried texting her casually a few times, no answers. I haven't really asked her anything, just typical casual texts.

As a man, it's never OK to grovel, but I do think it's respectable when a man apologizes for being a douche albeit inadvertantly. But I don't think I should apologize for being who I am.

The DJ bible talks about not pursuing because it makes you seems weaker and has the opposite effect, but in this case I feel I need to at least reach out once and acknowledge that if I went too far, then it wasn't on purpose. I don't want to come off as some sort or jerk (the bad kind) or creep or a mixture of.

Would like some input.

Thanks,
JT

Don't apologise for something so minor. Remember, a woman who is passionately interested in you will overlook any minor infractions.
Apologising shows neediness and weakness.

Sure, if you ran over her cat, made a joke about her mother and then found out she was dead, sprayed jizz on her $1000 dress or crapped yourself in her bed, apologise then, but not if she got butthurt over a joke.

Dear JumpTime,
"Salvage or Leave it?"......I cannot see anything to salvage or leave....She is not interested in you,never was...Why would any sane DJ want a Lady who takes herself so seriously?

Fvck her if she can't take a joke.

The only kind of woman to have is one that is totally into you and thinks you do no wrong. The rest are a waste of time!

Iron Rule of Tomassi #7
It is always time and effort better spent developing new, fresh, prospective women than it will ever be in attempting to reconstruct a failed relationship. Never root through the trash once the garbage has been dragged to the curb. You get messy, your neighbors see you do it, and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was.

and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was

This is quite a profound statement. Somehow I keep thinking I've lost something important, but ironically there really wasn't anything there to begin with. the sh*t we do to ourselves.

I appreciate the wise words gentlemen. I'll cut my losses and move forward.
