Senior Don Juan
From my experiences the past year or so, I honestly think it's best for me that I give up the search for a girlfriend for a while.
I've approached countless women, and it seems they're all w/boyfriends or otherwise not interested. The chase has brought me nothing to this point, and frankly, I can deal without the frustration. Hell, I do just as well when I'm not on the prowl than when I am.
I fear that I've become something of a local joke--hitting every local hangout, asking every girl for her number and getting rejected. I mean, some of these girls know each other, and I'm sure they've compared notes. It's cool to know that I have enough balls to approach, but dammit, I'd like to see some results.
I know dating is a numbers game. I know that the more I approach, the better my chances are. I know that there is quality in quantity. I also know there is something missing that is keeping me from sealing the deal. I haven't "embraced my sexuality" as Pook puts it, and to be honest, I have no idea how. I mean, how do you subtly reveal that you're a sexual being when you're talking to a girl in a mall or grocery store? Do you tell her you're dating other girls? In my case that would be a complete lie, and I'm a terrible liar.
I find myself looking at everything in regards to romantic opportunities. If I go out, I'm always LOOKING, like I'm obliged. I decide where I shop based on the number of hot chicks that might be working there. Sad, huh?
Why the pressure? It's a terrible irony when people ask me why I don't have a girlfriend. It's not for lack of effort, God knows. The pathetic AFC inside me wants to scream, "Because no girl likes me!!!!" The rational part of my mind says, "It's not your time." Therefore, I'm taking a break. I'm not having fun. I have plenty of stress, and I don't need any more.
