Brother we have all been there and know what you mean. Hell, as much as I've learned about women and their ways in all my years, my ass still gets fooled! I fell for a girl couple years ago that worked at my gym but then she left and we crossed paths and started seeing each other. Anyways, I don't know how this girl managed to do it but I found myself catching feelings after the 2nd and 3rd date. I have gone on 5 dates with the same woman before AND STILL wasn't sure if I liked them or not. This girl had me tossing the Don Juan book out the window and I was flying blind. I know I did multiple things wrong like being "too nice" and all but when I say I thought this girl was different, I truly thought she was. Nope. She went silent BUT I was smart enough to let her ass go silent and not chase after her. I was hoping wed get to talk and maybe I could save face somehow, and straighten my ass up and step back some and clear my head about her. I didn't smother her when we dated, but I think I was unlike anyone shed ever dated (she said as much). I dunno, but it messed me up for awhile. When I say messed me up I was basically "if I can't trust her then who the fvck woman can I trust?" Answer, none of them! I could have the most beautiful girl walk by me and I'd turn my head on purpose and think "fvck her, I hope she trips". Or if some broad tried to talk to me in line or whatever, I'd do my best to avoid it and walk away. Wanted nothing to do with women at all. I finally got over it though but damn there really aren't any quality women left out there. I get tired of playing the game and constantly having to be on my toes around women. It gets old. It makes me age fast too.lol
