Got rejected in front of 30 people!

[Krassus]

So i was waiting for the bus about two hours ago, when i saw this completely gorgeous (solid 9) asian girl standing on the other side of the platform. Our eyes met once or twice, and she shyly looked away both times. So anyway, i was planning to sit next to her on the bus and start up a conversation, but she ended up sitting on those side-facing seats and getting surrounded by people.

I walked past her and sat several rows away, then just before my stop, i got up, walked up to her, looked down at her, introduced myself, shook her hand and told her that i want to get her number before getting off the bus. But it turned out that she had a boyfriend, so i got rejected in front of a bus full of people, most of whom were staring at me.

The way i see it though, my fear of rejection is now non-existant. Because if i got rejected in front of 30 people and walked off with a big grin on my face (the girl looked REALLY surprised by my boldness), i can handle whatever else the dating game throws at me. In fact, i got so pumped up, that when i got home, i got on the phone, verbally chased an undecisive client into the corner, and settled a landmark deal for my company.

Thanks all, i probably wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for all the excellent advice i've gotten from people who contribute to these forums!

Krassus, you're my age.

Congratulations my friend! I shall endeavour to read your posts. You did a bold thing and I experienced more or less the EXACT SAME FEELING tonight of supreme confidence while watching my sister in a play in the city centre theatre.

I "backed" an older woman into the "corner" and made her challenge me to kiss her. I, of course, accepted.

Hah hah. That's my fifth kiss in about a year. I have kissed five times in my life.

DJ principles work, my friend.

Way to GO!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I like to read about. A guy going up to a girl, taking a risk, and going for what he wants. She did not reject you, you rejected her because you were chosing her by going up and asking for her phone number. Keep on taking risks; it will pay off in the long run because with each rejection you are that much closer to a yes.

Nice job Krassus - I was thinking the exact same thing as you when I read the thread title. I myself must admit that I am not at the stage where I feel comfortable sarging a girl when there are a lot of other people within earshot - it rattles me a bit - but like anything else the best way to overcome a fear is to attack it head on.

I never said it was easy. Since i waited so long to approach her, my mind managed to come up with dozens of excuses for me not to, just like it always does. But then i remembered some advice i got here: when your mind starts giving you sh1t, pretend you're James Bond. I did, and it worked

Your Attitude will determine your Altitude.

Please explain to me how you kissed five times in your life but you are a master?

*applause*

Bravo!

You just gained experienced.

You got an oppurtunity to act "james bond"ish.

Your approach was suave...I thought about james bond before you mentioned him.

Getting rejected while being confident on a bus filled with people is sort of funny. It would have been more funny if you added a remark like, "well I guess I'll have to look for someone else to have wild loving on top a bed filled with roses, thanks anyway for your attention"

Unrestrained expresiveness is just so magical.

You showed the right mentality...

Nirvana-like confidence... Brilliant. That was just it! When i got off the bus, i told myself that i will get the number of every hot girl i meet on the way home (ironically enough, i didn't find one during the 30-minute walk - i even took an extra-long path, which explains why it took so long). That felt like the kind of confidence you get when you're drunk: you can do absolutely anything you can think of and not worry about the consequences. I wished that i could have something like that at my disposal since the first time i got drunk. And now i think i may.

 

[DjDreamer]

I think you're drunk with the idea of acting "james bond"ish.

Yes's and No's just don't matter when you know you're giving oscar worthy approaches. You gain unshakable confidence when you know you exude sauveness in front of sexually inhibitive HB's. You won't be devastated when just love hearing yourself speech.

Continue the suaveness...

Hey, well said! Look forward to that

I made my first approach at college just after class got out. There were people all over and I was so focused on the girl I don't even remember if anyone else was watching. If you think getting shot down in front of a crowd is good, wait until you get one that says yes. I don't think I will ever make as big of a grin as I did after that day.

 

[Kwah]

Fastest ****ing learner yet I think.

 

[Don Corleon]

Dude,just think about it, it can't really get too much worst than what happened there. The rest of your approaches should be cake

 

[Santos]

Excellent! There were probablly AFCs on that bus whose jaws dropped when they saw you ask for her number. The fact is that you had the balls to not only talk to this HB, but to ask for her number infront of a bus load of people. Not many men that can do that. Good job!

 

[dionysius_d]

You have good style. If you were polite, who cares what the other people thought. Its just between you and her.

 

[vdk]

Asian women dont like being approached by strangers and I noticed, since im asian, they only choose boyfriends from friends they already know. You need to break into their social circle to get to a Asian HB and since they have guys from all backgrounds queing up for her, its not worth the effort. This is especially true if they are from Asian countries, however, American Asians or Australian Asians may welcome you since the Western culture is in their blood.

Though, I have to applaud you. You have balls, I dont. I wouldnt have done what you did in front of 30+ people.

 

[Duke]

Nice work, dude. A guy can gain a lot of knowledge from big f*ck-ups like that, and apparently you did.

All the people on the bus must've have been thinking you had balls of steel.
