well i liked this girl and we were friends for a while after my then girlfriend left me because i was more into sex and she was more of a prude, well i started hanging out with her friend who had moved back to town after time away, every time i saw her face i melted, however i was foolish and didn't act soon enough and she lost interest in waiting for me to make up my mind, needless to say i froze up every time i wanted to say something or be physical, i don't know why, maybe it was because i was scared of being rejected.. though i hurt myself more than she ever did [emotionally]......jump 12 years later forward and much the same whenever i meet women then again the last i met was 9 years back......better spending time with my internet spaceships. some people are mean't to have lovey dovey stuff and some aren't i suppose.

I suppose dread of rejection is what causes a lot of possible good connections never to happen. Maybe it's kind of like being afraid to get blown up in low or null the first time? Once you've done it once, you don't worry about it that much anymore.

Bah, who am I trying to kid. Smile

Flying in low-sec and surviving is a matter of your abilities vs. someone else's abilities more than anything else.

Getting "rejected" by a prospective interest is based more on subjective preferences that you have little control over... so you can't really help but take it personally. What?

How did you Veterans start?

Nah, your abilities vs theirs are a large factor. Capable, skilled people tend to be uninterested in clumsy people. Most people like others with similar or relatable skillsets, for instance a computer programmer can relate to a sales associate because both work with digital systems and databases, but neither one is going to relate well to a livestock feed specialist.

Of course, many people like variety and novelty, but more often people are attracted to those they can relate to.
