It’s clear a lot of posters on this thread are insecure and don’t handle rejection well.
All this speculation about “Chad dumped her and now she’s crawling back to you” and “turn her out, she’s a ho, she’s trash” “if she was interested she’d climb Mt Everest with a coin clenched between her a$$ cheeks for you” etc etc
This is a projection of their own resentment and bitterness at women. The reality is that a woman’s attraction for you can change, up and down, for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with you. Another reality is that all women who are considered attractive are currently involved with a guy when you meet her for the first time. She has more rapport, emotional connection, and history with that guy than she does with you. She’s obviously going to choose him over you— until her attraction for him falls, and rises for you.
Remember, her attraction for you can be too low to consider you a prospect, then turned up, which is what it looks like you were able to do.
Go on dates, have fun, escalate assertively, and bring it home. That’s it. Don’t overthink, just be ready to eject if you start smelling disrespect or bullish!t.
But there’s a problem with this way of thinking... the physical attraction wasn’t there to begin with, and despite your obvious Corey Wayne citations - women fall in love slowly; attraction grows blahdy blah... all it takes is for that one guy to come along and give her that gush that get her juices flowing. That’s when she’s going to friendzone OP because he was just a convenience job to her in the first place, hence rejecting him, then taking 5 months to hit him up. Especially in the age of social media, it’s much more likely that she will, sooner or later, come across that guy, then OP has to pick up the pieces.
There’s an added problem: If a girl is just using a guy as Mr Right Now, she’s not really going to be able to display affection for him because she doesn’t really fancy him; he will begin to feel her indifference, and it will cause him to go into simp mode — begging for her to throw him a bone + putting all the effort in to please her. When he realises this is a fruitless endeavour, he’ll start growing resentful, manipulative and so forth.
And remember, too, how can you seriously take the words of a 5ft5” BS artist seriously when he could only get a single mother? That’s the epitome of beta cuck provider, so this alone nullifies everything he says, and exposes him as the fraud he is.
‘Relax... Women fall in love slowly, bro... she rejected you and came around aeons later? Cmon mann, it’s just a sh1t test. It’s your vibe, not your look. Just read my gazillion page book fifteen times, and I can guarantee you’ll become a step daddy like me. And remember to take a shower, bro’
Ughhh!
