Out of Pod Experience

We wouldn't love you if we didn't say it like it is. <3

I might just take up dating just to see the ways I could be rejected. This thread is quite a bit amusing.

I'm playing the scene out in my head... I have three space princesses harping at me, and all I have to do is play them against each other. Two happens to me all the time, but three is an occasion. It would also be very easy to manipulate [the situation].

My rejection, was more like yeah kinda stuff.
My sister is only a year younger than me so one day she intro me to a particularly super hot new friend of hers, we hit it on, she gave me her phone and we spent the evening having fun, specially since my sister perceived the butterflies in the air and left us alone for the rest of the day.
When I finally dropped the hottie at her home we kissed for a long time and said call me next week some time, I said sure and left.

Following week I called her once and she didn't answer so I waited till the following week and called again, then again she didn't answer. On the third week she answers the phone and before I could say anything she says to me, please don't call me as often.
I was like, what? I called you a total of 3 times in 3 weeks, 2 of whom you didn't answer the phone. She said please, so I said sure, laters. Hanged up and threw her phone number on the trash bin and moved on.

2 weeks later she was asking my sister why I wasn't calling her? Wtf. My sister is like she's asking why, I was like she told me to not call her when she finally answered the phone. So I won't.

All this happened 20+ years ago, now we are married , been married for almost 20 years coming up January.

To this day she claims she was mad cause I didn't call her more often than just once per week. . Women.

After befriending a coworker, and talking to her via text for a while, even after moving to a city about an hour away, I couldn't help myself anymore, and spilled my guts/spaghetti to her, telling her that I really like her and that we should hang out one-on-one, via text one day.

This was about a month ago, and she hasn't responded yet.

The sting has lessened a bit, at least.

pretty much all along the lines of 'you're a great guy, but i don't see you as anything but a friend' which hurts, but i value friendship too. one became a close friend.

don't have any stories of approaching girls in bars or anything, because i'm far too shy to do that. i always feel silly doing it and have no idea what to actually say.

Hmm... I am either asexual or I just don't care about sexual ****.

I was broken up with over the phone years ago. She told me that it wasn't me, it was her, and she didn't have room in her life for anyone else and needed to concentrate on her. Im sure I didn't take it too well as I really liked the girl at the time. It was one of those 2 years of dating things.

When the phone call ended, I was a tad upset, but hey, who wouldn't be in that situation right?

About an hour later, she shows up to my house, and just comes in like nothing happened. Im puzzled as hell. She kisses me and goes to make dinner. Im very puzzled now. At dinner im a tad silent.. trying to get my brain wrapped around what the hell is happening.

Finally, I confront her about the whole thing. She turns ghost white. Literally ALL the blood runs out of her face. After she composes herself, she comes clean.

She called and broke up with the wrong boyfriend.

right?

i really hate that look, though. that look of regret an fear, and possibly shame. the times ive seen it, i blame myself for letting it get that far. that's no way to live, regretting things and not being completely happy.

but i'm divorced and have decided to just not deal with that situation ever. i'm pretty damn selfish, but i see it as a matter of treating myself without fear of being betrayed.

man that was a mind **** story. winning the thread so far.
