When you guys first see my profile, you see that profile pic of mine. After seeing the picture, you all probably "Holy crap, that hunk of man candy must be pulling ass by the truckload!"
Sad to say, this is untrue. I have actually only asked out two girls in my life, and both rejected me. For comedic value, I will describe the two situations in detail.
Girl 1: This was the first girl I have asked out (redundant phrases are cool), and easily one of the worst things I have done in my life. I was in my freshman year in highschool, and it was two weeks from prom. I wanted to ask a girl out considering I had gone dateless for homecoming, and she seemed like the best bet. She seemed to be the quiet, nerdy type, and I thought I had a chance with her.
The punchline? I asked her out friday, she said "maybe". On monday I had six guys tell me she did not want to go out with me, because she apparently did not have the nerve to tell me herself. Not only was this bad enough, but she proceeded to badmouth me behind my back to the very small amount of friends she had. To this day the arrogance she exudes sickens me.
Final outcome: FAILURE
Girl 2: Since the letdown from girl 1 had shaken me up fairly bad, I put off dating until homecoming of my junior year. I decided to ask a friend out for the dance, assuming I would have better chances. She said yes, and we wnt to the dance.
The punchline? when the night was half over, in the middle of a slowdance, she pulled me outside and said she "just wanted to be friends". To all of those that don't understands this, it means I am not advancing any further with her. Basically a locked door.
Final outcome: FAILURE
So as you can see, I fail at relationships. Surprising?
As brutal as those stories are, you had the "luxury" of a quick death. I've... um... "heard stories" about essentially the same result but the in between parts lasting like the whole first year at McMast... um, university.
It's funny, though - as a person who went to highschool in Canada, I haven't the foggiest what a freshman, junior, or homecoming is. I thought 'homecoming' was every day after school, 'Freshman' was a Jewish guy who couldn't keep his hands off the ladies, and 'juniour' was either a pack of mints or a son with the name of his father. And 'prom' was once, after graduation.
Even though I don't agree with your opinion on Iraq, I feel you. I'm too shy to get a lot of girls. And smb is right, guys who always seem to have a girl have gotten rejected way more than you.
