I was starting to like a fellow co-worker over the past while when today I was given the employee handbook by a manager. It might be just a coincidence, but I really doubt it. I've asked a fellow co-worker, who I can trust, privately if he's been given the book as well.
In the book it mentions...
Personal beliefs are important. I wouldn't start smoking because a girl I like does it. To start changing yourself for other people means supplication and placing your ego in the hands of other people who are conditional. True self-confidence is believing something, accepting other people's...
I approached her and told her that I forgot to say 'hi' to her friend, then walked away.
Yes, it was weird, but I wanted to let her know that I wasn't purposely ignoring her friend. It didn't seem to help at all.
I'm taking the smiling and being generally indifferent to whatever happened route. If people want to start saying hello, I have nothing against that.
I refuse to apologize when I didn't mean to ignore her. She knows this, and by ignoring me she hasn't come to terms with her own feelings yet.
I got a girl's co-worker pissed off by accident and I think she started to badmouth me and ruin my reputation there. (Very few people say hello anymore, although the co-worker has started to again.) I said something weird and now the girl I liked might be avoiding me.
Should I just next her...
Does she still have this card? She might have thrown it out ten minutes later. ;)
Overreacting to situations such as this one will make you an AFC and kill your relationship. You're lucky if she still wants you at this point.
Controlling the options is a power move. By giving her your number and walking away out of her life, you are the one in control.
If you simply gave your number and stuck around to lap up her lovely presence, that's Non-Juanian.
(Backstory: girl I like is taken, I wrote down my number and told her to phone me when she's single and left. got people there excited. some guys are now jealous. seen girl when i was out and about and she honked her horn and waved at me with her friend as she passed. Haven't seen her in the...
The Rules of Life - Teaches you zen-like acceptance of rejection, etc. This is the general DJ bible that we should follow. Arguably better than 48 Laws of Power, which can corrupt your DJ ways.
Four Agreements - Also well worth the money. I later bought the Mastery of Love.
Pumping my ego up before making an approach, getting a number, making a power move, etc. always seemed to make doing things 100x harder.
Be zen-like. Just do.
