Hi guys. Been a lurker for years, but I've decided to kill the AFC in me. It's been a tough challenge since I'm making a lot of mistakes in learning from Pook. I'm just an amateur now, but I'm working on it. On to my problem:
Ok so I met this cute girl in class who is my type physically. She's also smart and has similar interests as me. I occasionally teased her and we have studied together at the library and I also took her out for some coffee. It was at the coffee session that we talked a bit to learn about each other (rapport and comofort), but unfortunately, I still suck at kino. There was literally none. However, I did make good on the deep connection. So this is what I learned about her:
She has some issues with her family. Quite a rebel and moved from new york to san fran for school. Has issues with her parents. Also has issues with ppl judging her (looks). But she is good looking.
I tried to steer the conversation away from dark topics best I could without being her psychologist or tampon, but something felt off. We then started talking about her past relationships and she mentions she went out with her best friend and it felt weird. So I guess this is where I screwed up. I heard that and thought, "Well I better tell her now before I get ljbf" and told her you know your cute inside and out since she is pretty down to earth. She says she doesn't have time for a relationship right now and can't commit. I was not looking to get married or anything, so I told her let's just go out and see how it goes. No commitments. No big deal. She says she still wants to be friends and i'm like damn. I tell her, if we go out, know that I'll be hitting on you and rather than be a friend, I would prefer to be ambiguous. We end it at that and go home.
Zoom to next week and I can feel things sort of slipping away. I usually wait for her so we can walk out of class and either head home or library. Sometimes she will head home and I will split to library. One day at the library when she was leaving, I hugged her. She gave a really weak hug one handed. Thinking back, I should have took control and said that's weak and make her give me a real hug. After that, it just keeps going downhill.
Anyways, I thought something is off so to prevent anymore stupid mistakes I've initiated no contact for now until I can figure out what to do. I don't text her or call her so that isn't an issue. It's usually in class. Maybe I'm still being AFCish by waiting on her to walk home or to the library even after all that. So what I did today was just leave earlier and didn't even say bye or anything to the library.
Guys, I was wondering what I should do? I'm going to work on more girls for sure, but at the same time, finding a quality girl is hard. There's tons of girls, but very few good ones. It's frustrating to continue working on the skills only to get clipped in the face.
Also, a weird thing happens to me. All the cute girls I ever want, I have a super difficult time getting. However, fml, I'm always attracting the ****ing pigs and bottom of the barrel ugly without any effort. In fact, yesterday night one of them texted me who wanted to "hang out today".
