My freshman year of college I had a crush on a girl in Anthropology. We hung out a bit and I could tell she liked me.
We were at a house party, and I was drunk, and pulled her aside and went on this long speech about how great she was, and how I would be such a good friend to her. Yep, I LJBF'd her, I guess thinking it would bring us closer or something stupid like that.
I found out weeks later that at the same house (maybe a different night) that some guy banged her in the bathroom. Lol.
Nevertheless, she and I eventually went out on a date and, sitting in the car at the end, I let a long, pregnant pause pass by while she waited for me to kiss her.
I think I even sent her flowers on her birthday that year. This poor girl must have really been confused by my stupid actions or lack thereof, and I don't blame her one bit for having her fun with other guys.
And, I got my share of action in college in the meantime, but not with the best girls I could pull, that's for sure.
I did have a nice "DJ" moment with aforementioned girl, a couple of years later. She stopped by my house unannounced as another (very hot) girl and I were just leaving for a date. It felt pretty good in that moment to be in demand in front of her. As for the hot girl I was taking out, she was totally into me, and I pu$$ed out on making a move on her as well.
All in all, I missed out on a lot of quality action in college. I came in with lots of confidence, and somehow went AFC in spite of girls really liking me, approaching me at parties, etc. I think I probably just drank too much and had no direction for most of it.
