If you keep doing what you're doing( definition of insanity) you will also end up with B and C anyway.
Seems like you got something to lose still. Your self esteem?
That shows you are actually quite the egocentric person. Your pride is more important to you than your pleasure . Even if you end up being alone and miserable..
By the way STOP saying galls. It's women/ girls/ females/or ladies. Plenty of choices to pick from.
Sheesh. Some take issue with the word
broads; some take issue with the word
gals.
I hate the word
women. I've been told the term
females is demeaning. The term
girls doesn't sound right unless she's below 30. I guess that only leaves the term
ladies.
Anyway, to address the rest of your post, yeah, my self-esteem is extremely important to me. My self-esteem is already at sea level as it is. If I take any more blows to my self-esteem, I'm going to need New Orleans levees for my self-esteem.
In the song "If I Surrender" by The Color Fred, he has a line "They took from you all they could get; you hold on tight to what is left." That line sums up my attitude toward my self-esteem.
Yeah, using my current strategy, I end up alone and miserable. Yet if I were to try more (but ultimately fail) with the ladies, I'd
still be alone and miserable...
and I'd have even lower self-esteem than I currently do (In other words, I'd be even worse off)
I've mentioned on the forum before that I have a flirtatious reportoire with a woman in her 60s who works for a different company in my office building. I mentioned to her once (when discussing the general topic of dating) there's a school of thought that says you can get over a fear of rejection by getting rejected a lot. She said it's just as likely getting rejected a lot could make one hate rejection even more.
