Reference: CONCERT - Need Slight Opinion on this
I had the most unpredictable thing happen to me.
How it went:
So, to sum up my previous thread, I had Yellowcard tickets. I was going to ask the girl I like out to it, but I knew I had a backup in case of failure.
So, backup tells me she's really wanting to go to the concert and stuff. This convo ended with no commitments. Sounds good I think, I can ask girl1 out and if not, I still have backup.
We come to today and I ask girl 1.
1. "Do you want to see the Yellowcard concert"
2. Her = "I don't like going to concerts"
3. "Why"
4. Her = "I went to the Nickelback one, and I don't plan on going to another concert"
5. "Ahh, ok then" (I had no backup plan to try with her)
I was not blown off, as much as it looks like, because she replied fairly fast and it was a understandable excuse, concerts are pretty loud and all.
So, ok then, backup will go with me. I head to class, sat down (i sit in front of her) and asked her to Yellowcard.
"I already got asked"
(the person who asked sits beside her, he's fairly new.)
"Ahh, thats cool."
"Phone me...7:30ish so we can talk about giving my sister one" (too young)
I didn't see that happening, nor did I care that much, but now I was screwed out of money for two tickets.
Did lesson, work, she asked for some help, life went to normal, no biggie.
Went to buddy's class, asked him if he'd take my extra tickets (he got 2 already), he agreed, he'd pay me the full cost plus $60.
Alrighty, not fuccked anymore, I got $60 out of today.
Come home, did whatever until I phoned backup up. Carried on short convo, she comes out with this.
"I can't believe you went out and got a ticket for me, You are the nicest guy, I can't believe you did that for me, omg omg omg..I'm so sorry I can't go with you"
WHAT A BLOW TO THE EGO, HOLY F---.
-----------
Lesson Learned:
I was too much into girl 1, as she was priority. I knew that backup wanted to go, so I felt safe in waiting on girl 1's answer.
The failure in getting girl 1, was alright, slightly saddened, but life went on.
The failure in getting backup...was a disappointment, but something I could live with, didn't see it coming but I can't put blame on the guy.
Got $60 deal, felt better.
Phone call. Hearing that...I was utterly floored. I could not believe that a) If I phoned her half a day ago, I would have secured her. b) I should have agreed to take her in the first place.
Now, she's incredibly impressed with me going out and buying a ticket for her, thinks i'm the sweetest guy she knows..and wants to sometime do something with me.
What I know is that I just ****ed myself over completely and I know that a chance to take anyone to a popular concert will not occur for a long time, hence no great impresssion.
Lesson for All:
I should have taken her up on the offer, instead I was feeling too secure and as a result, was floored at how much she was impressed for me getting her a ticket.
End result:
I'm fuccked for a long time on any potential date chances, even with backup, I do not know if they will become together, but a chance like a concert....fucccck, unbelievable.
Take what you can have, don't live in security.
