100% agree here. Flattery, and especially the flattery of being pursued by a girl, even one you might not entirely have though to puruse on your own, can be the death knell for the requisite aloofness of maintaining attraction. Surprisingly powerful when you've never experienced it before to...

It's nice to read someone else write what's gone through my head. It's a shame that there's so much of this these days. I do think American culture turns it out at a very high rate.

I don't really know that she was any sort of cluster b. That's probably just a defense mechanism on my part honestly. Easier to believe you were burned by someone of lower value with a problem than someone you'd genuinely be interested in. That said, be very wary of allowing it to go to your...

Slowly relearning or perhaps just learning the full range of possibility. Definitely hoodwinked this time.

I can't argue with you. Nicely burned, but lesson learned I hope. How do you define having done anything for her btw?

New York City seems like it should be a wonderful place to date, but 75% don't even stay in decent shape right off the bat. Cut out the hyper-aggressive types and throw in the standard inflation of self-worth from online dating and general pandering and it's tough to find anyone under 30 that is...
