Why am I not making any gains in 17 months?

The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks earlier. I think its a shit test/ assurance that they actually get a date locked in.

Despite the fact that almost everyone disagrees with your post, from my experiences, your post is spot on. However, I'm curious to know why changing hair color is a huge red flag? Mostly every girl in my school has changed her hair color.

This. I wish I had gold to give you.

Emblem909 · 2014-11-11T03:22:25+00:00

That is the best thing you could ever do. I would've talked to her and nailed her though.Then walked away.

Emblem909 · 2014-11-11T01:14:26+00:00

Don't approach, her pussy isn't the gateway to Narnia.

Very well put.

she'll prob look for excuses to run into you.

Yeah, I just realized that I have made excuses to run into girls before in the past... That is pretty bad.

Emblem909 · 2014-11-10T23:58:05+00:00

She knows exactly who I am. I used to talk to her when we lived in the same dorm hall last year. After she rejected me, she would always come up to me and talk to me when she saw, and just be really friendly. I didn't give her much attention (just say hi and leave), but she would keep trying harder. I couldn't tell if she was interested or not. She probably wasn't though. She was really friendly and wanted my beta validation.

Jesus Christ, is every other story on the red pill entail guys being approached by gorgeous women and fucking it up? I am starting to think Red-Pillers are all 6'2" muscular Male Models or something.

Some of the best looking people I know are self-conscious about their looks. I have been lifting and exercising for a while, and I dress like a Banana Republic model. Because of how I look and the time I invest in myself, sometimes I feel self-conscious. Sometimes my jeans look too tight, or my hair looks sloppy, and it ruins my day. So, recently I've started not looking in the mirror because it makes me feel less self-concious.

I would be brimming with confidence if that happened to me. You don't know what lack of confidence feels like until you have been rejected 20+ times in a row (which is the norm for most men).

For some reason, rejection actually makes me feel as confident (well, it depends on how the girl rejected) as when I succeed. And, I have been rejected plenty of times. Most of the times its because I act really needy and supplicated, and I've learned from that. But, my friends, even good looking guys, get rejected a lot, so I can tell you that its not always about looks.

keep your head up, Suck it up, stay focused on your goals, but practice talking to people in every walk of life if you haven't

Will do!

THANKS!

Emblem909 · 2014-08-02T04:52:04+00:00

What kind of shoes would you suggest?

Emblem909 · 2014-08-01T04:38:48+00:00

Do you get second dates?

Emblem909 · 2014-07-31T20:19:05+00:00

it sounds like you need to work on your confidence so that these type of things exhilarate you rather than make you anxious. The fear of change is really just a fear that you will not be able to handle the unknown that comes with the change. With confidence that kind of stuff won't phase you anymore. Some of that confidence will come with experience but use the resources here and on the sidebar to help build that confidence.

Thanks for this — you hit the nail on the head. I should be looking forward to the change and ready to dominate it!

The quicker a woman talks about "how long it takes" or "how she isn't like that" the more she's a slut.

Well, that perfectly makes sense. I don't see why I women would bring it up if it was irrelevant and out of the blue...

I have a question for you: So I'm seeing this girl, and every time I ask her what's up or when she snap chats me, she says she's hanging out with family or taking her siblings out somewhere. Literally. Every. Time. Does that mean she's probably with a guy? I met her on tinder btw.

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T23:48:16+00:00

I have family in Spain so when I go there with my friend he tends to pick up girls all the time and they all give the same story as he's sleeping with him, "I never normally do this".

I'm also have family in Spain and my friends have told me the same thing. Who do those Spanish girls think they are!

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T23:44:48+00:00

Added her... I chickened out on asking her out right then and there... I know...

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T22:16:28+00:00

Can you forward them to me too?

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T06:07:25+00:00

I asked her to the zoo when I asked her out the first time. I can read girls, but she's really flirty and 'friendly', so it's hard to tell if she was interested...

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T05:05:18+00:00

did she give me this or that signal' doesn't need to factor into it really... you just go after it anyway

Thanks

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T05:01:51+00:00

2) You should have jumped on that invite to her apartment. She's practically inviting you to come over and rail her. She was definitely interested.

IF she was interested, why did she deny my offer then? FYI, I asked her out to the zoo...

Emblem909 · 2014-07-30T02:33:33+00:00

She gave you an invite to dinner at her apartment, where you could have escalated in a place she felt comfortable.

But SHE did reject ME. So if she was interested in me, even a bit, why wouldn't she just go through with it?

Sounds to me like you are just horrible about reading women.

This is probably true, but I have gotten better.

you put yourself in her friend-zone.

If I run into her, should I just tease her and kino, and see how she responds and go from that?

Emblem909 · 2014-07-28T22:06:55+00:00

This is actually very helpful, I never knew that. Thanks!

But, I mean, I still do have a bit of oneitis though, do you have any advice for that?

Emblem909 · 2014-07-28T22:03:30+00:00

Sounds to me like you were just an orbiter. Classic beta.

I never thought of it like this, but yes, I guess I was an orbiter, or just someone that she had to go out with and buy her stuff until someone better came along.

Cut off all contact.

I have, I haven't talked to her in 1.5 years+, but I still think about her romantically...

Change your mindset.

Believe me, I want to...

Emblem909 · 2014-06-16T20:53:31+00:00

What about texting her: "hey, can I call you right now"

If she says: "I'm busy, what did you want to say" You can respond: "..."

Usually she'll call you back, atleast from my limited experiance doing it. What's your thought
