The whole game is a matter of luck!
What if the woman you're talking to is just looking for orbiters and attention? What if she just wants marriage? What if she just wants business contacts? Elite social club access?
It's all about the woman's interest and availability. Maybe you should have approached her on July 3rd instead of May 10th.
Also, she may be getting out of a relationship, already taken, chasing after Chad, Tyrone, Hiroshi, Enrique, Chang, Punji, etc. Maybe even one of them dumped her.
Consider the fact that she's always comparing you to her exes and other guys she's dating, second place still being first loser.
The other part of luck is the woman's needs and interest at the time you talk with her. Factor in the things you do and don't do. Also the things you say and don't say. Your voice could turn her off, your phone brand can too. Wear a color she doesn't like or unrecognizable brand name, you get rejected. Even owning a Xbox one and cheering for Alabama can cause you to lose a girl. So can your zodiac sign, your car color, your hair length, the stars in the sky, the airline you fly, hell you get the idea.
Alas, women do the choosing. Just like HR has control of who gets hired. There's only so much a guy can control. X-factors happen any given day, like the bf or husband shows up, or she just happens to be a big flirt who's married.
All we, as men can do is just make our moves and put our bid in. Ignoring won't increase a null IL, especially if she doesn't know you. Most of us on this board aren't super good looking and/or super rich. All we can do is try. Even in this #MeToo büll$hit world.
You miss all the shots you don't take.
Case closed.
