my confidence has been pretty high these past 2 weeks up until today, i've set myself targets of approaching everyday when i can, trying to make improvements knowing that i wouldn't necessarily get interested girls straight away. i've gotten a few numbers in that time but they've either flaked or didn't reply.
i accepted these as i knew during pick up i didnt' build enough attraction and was stuck too much in friendzone talk and then when they were leaving i got the number but somewhat not smoothly, hence lack of attraction on their apart.
fast forward to last sunday, i was picking up this girl at a Starbucks and we talked for too long, over an hour. in the past i've extracted the number too quickly so found buyers remorse a common reason for them not answering or returning my call.
this was different, this girl seemed to show IOI's, touching her hair, kino'ing me, smiling, laughing at my jokes. admittedly towards the end of the interaction her friend walked on and she began to chat to her, i felt a bit awkward because i was sitting down not sure what to do as i was just there sitting talking to her all this time. finally she introduced me to her friend but refferred to me as 'this is my friend..' and 'i met him here' anyway the friend sat behind us on a different table, i knew it was time to leave and get the number, i did so relatively smoothly but about 20mins later than i should have, i felt in that entire duration i built enough rapport and attraction that there would be no way she'd not reply to me. i made it clear to her that i was hitting on her with the 'so if you go on a date with me u going to dress up? ' she laughed and played with her said 'yeah i'll dress normal'. it seemed to go well though i was showing weakness and nerves towards the end. we exchanged numbers and i kissed her goodbye.
i dont know if her friend may have put in a bad word for me after i left. cos my shaking of hands with her and general interaction seemed awkward.
so i didn't feel confident yesterday so i texted her to meet up instead of calling (none of these girls ever pick up their phone, it's frustrating) and i felt cos she was so on me that she wouldn't not reply to my text. it was
'hey, lets get together for that drink sometime in the next few days, im busy tomorrow and saturday but hows sunday or monday at 8pm?'
that text is fine. i sent it 3 days after we met, i just couldn't understand why she wouldn't reply. i didn't demonstrate any afcness up until sending that text. it just didn't make sense why she would suddenly have low IL. tho i did prepare myself for this fact cos in the past its happened so i dont get my hopes up, but it is disappointing..
this is where the AFCness creeped in, today 24 hours after not receiving a reply i decided to call (i should have called yesterday first then 24 hours later texted, not the other way round) it went straight to voicemail, so i tried again later and it rang but she didn't pick up. end of story.
prob is the mobile networks here send text messages to u if you call and it goes straight to voicemail, telling the person you called.
i feel really AFC right now and a little frustrated as to why she flaked, i'll carry on sarging today but im approaching but im not geting into long enough interactions where i get a number and arrange a date.
how do i get over this loss of confidence?
