I've been reading the DJ Bible "religiously" and getting heaps of great insight here at the forum too, but at the risk of overthinking the possibilities, I do like to think ahead with some things...
Let's say you're making (or at least think you're making) some progress with a lady but get LJBF-ed after a while. What is your best approach for having another attempt somewhere down the line if the girl is really special? Surely some of you have had a second crack at it and either succeeded or found out that LJBF was the final answer.
Trying other women is one obvious step to moving along, but what do you do with the "friend" in the meantime? Do the friend thing or just back off and see if there's another window of opportunity later? Ignoring them would make you seem one-track-minded, yet doing the friend thing just further grows that concept in the lady's mind.
There's a really psycology to this scenario that interests me, even though it's not a problem I have to face right now.
Looking forward to your thoughts or tales of success/failure.
