has anyone ever made a missed connection? - Page 3

Danny Himself · 02.11.2009, 05:21 PM

My friend Rachel asked me to go on a date with her this Valentines Day, but I laughed, because I thought she was joking. I think she was actually being serious. Another time was when a girl asked me for my number and I laughed, again, and told her to fuck off. I thought she was joking too. I'm just a big dickhead.

don't take self deprecation too far, young padawan.

when my brother was a teenager he'd come across as a prick because he was shy and he didn't say hello to people, why they were thinking "what an asshole, he saw me and didn't even say hello"

eventually he came out of his shell. he's now some kind of corporate big shot.

I don't think it's down to shyness, I just don't realise what is happening until long after the initial conversation.

if she was interested, i guess she'd remember my name or at least how i look like, right?
MOMMY, CAN I GO OUT AND KILL TONIGHT??

here is something I learned way too late to do me much good

A girl is not going to smile at you unless she likes you. They do not smile to be polite.

a girl that initiates conversations with you definitely likes you (at least a little) or at worst, does not find you UN-attractive.

a girl that asks you out is almost NEVER kidding, and if she is she is "pretend" kidding and hoping you do not embarrass her by saying no.

and there is always a second chance.

if you as mentioned above, (and believe me I did it for years without realizing I was shooting myself in the foot), make an error and realize it later, you can always go back and bring it up again, and she will be glad you remembered and thought enough of her to bring it back up!

Just a little wisdom that no one ever bothers to tell many of us non-alpha, asshole type guys.

i wasn't just talking about people my age, i'm talking about people in general :P even my own family forgets about me sometimes, not calling me down for dinner or so.

but thanks

i hope you ll retrieve the connection with her. im shy too, i understand 100%. think that we only live once and its not for long time and send her that e-mail.

i see her every week most weeks, so maybe i will ask her out one day. i even delivered food to her good friend (i think roommate even) today.

i don't know, i was think maybe i would rather just have her as a crush.

i was nervous and it was 3 in the morning, so that meant i did goof on some things on the missed connection. she already pointed out that her cap was not purple, but blue and i should've said one of THE cutest.

Don't get me started on missed connections... Kasha (sp?), I love you, wherever you are.

Danny Himself · 03.14.2009, 09:14 PM

BAHAHA

I made the absolute worst missed connection ever tonight. Oh man. I am sober too so its even worse. This full-on, 10/10 smokin' babe-raham lincoln was coming on to me in some bar, like, rubbing me and everything, completely X-rated and ridiculous, and all the while I was just thinking, "Oh man. What does this woman even want? I don't even know her."

So eventually she just gave up and left, and then I was like OH SHIT I KNOW WHAT SHE WANTED. Damnnnn. She was like 20 or something, too, it was absolutely absurd. Oh wow. I need an award for the worst ladies-man failure on earth. Ever.

Unwarrantedly self-deprecating.
