reminds me of the time i was shopping at bloomingdales for some gloves to keep myself warm in new york city's cold winter. ended up meeting this chick, I believe she was british. But it would be 10 years or so until the day we met again. She was engaged to some lousy musician but i still managed to sweep her away. =/
Of course, it's your fault. There is nothing wrong with asking "would you like to go out some time?" and then hearing a "no, I have a boyfriend" from her. Don't think EVERY ONE GIRL you ask will say yes, or (again), you'll be miserable. What I find funny is how dudes nowadays or "players" just straight up ask for a phone number... the sluts and easy women will want to get you under their belt and give it up (the number), but the ones that are worth it will not do that and will wait until you strike up a conversation or treat them well before doing that. SPEAK to a girl... make small conversation. Keep the lines open. Should you ask for the phone number right away? No. In Briefly's case, he could have, but didn't. Too bad. Move on, yo. (not you, Briefly).
I once met a beautiful (French) woman on a train from Budapest to Vienna. I noticed her sitting alone so I went over and struck up a conversation with her. She was actually on her way to Paris on that same train. When the train stopped at Vienna, I was able to convince her to get off with me and take the train back to Paris the next day. That night we walked and we talked, and we walked and talked some more. There wasn't a topic we didn't discuss. Love, Life, religion, politics, you name it we talked about it. We never went to sleep that night. I walked her back to the train and before she boarded it, we agreed to meet at that same spot 6 months from then.
maybe this will make you feel better OP: Study finds unattractive men most likely to incorrectly think women really dig ‘em Scientists may have just found an evolutionary answer for why that idiot keeps hanging all over you at the bar without taking the hint that you’re just not that into him. (You know the one… the one who continues to wink at you, or offer to buy you a drink, and you’re forced to make out with your husband on the spot in the hopes he’ll eventually leave you alone.) Turns out unattractive men who are looking for a quick hookup, are more likely to overestimate how attractive women find them. Researchers from Williams College and University of Texas at Austin took 96 men and 103 women, all undergraduates, and put them through a “speed date” type scenario. The men and women first took surveys rating themselves on attractiveness and their level of desire for a short-term sexual encounter. They then talked with five members of the opposite sex for about three minutes each. After the meeting they rated the partners on physical attractiveness and how interested in them sexually the partner appeared to be. The study will be published in the journal Psychological Science. Researchers found men who were looking for a short-term sexual encounter were more likely to overestimate a woman’s desire for them. Men who thought they were hot also overestimated women’s desire for them. Furthermore, the more attractive the woman was to the man, the more likely he was to overestimate his desire in her. Men who were actually considered attractive by the women’s rankings did not seem to have this discrepancy in evaluating the situation. Women, for the record, consistently underestimated their male partners’ interest in them sexually. Researchers say there’s an evolutionary explanation for this discrepancy. “There are two ways you can make an error as a man,” psychologist Carin Perilloux said. “Either you think, ‘Oh, wow, that woman’s really interested in me’—and it turns out she’s not. There’s some cost to that. “ But the other error a man could make is that the woman is interested and he’s missed out on a mating opportunity. “That’s a huge cost in terms of reproductive success,” Perilloux said. For men who are looking for casual sex, they’re only limited by the number of women they can get to have sex with them, so overestimation also makes sense in that situation, he added. http://blog.chron.com/momhouston/20...ly-to-incorrectly-think-women-really-dig-‘em/
3 yrs ago, The Rockets got out of the 1st round in over a decade and faced the Lakers but unfortunately Yao got injured and still took the Laks to 7 games.. Still to this day what if he didn't get injured would it made a difference anyways, were we still goin to beat the Lakers in the 2nd round??? Missed opportunity, no???
I met this guy when I worked at the six flags park in NJ that was really nice. I used to see him all the time and noticed he was a cutie but I didn't make it a priority to talk to him because I knew I was leaving in a month. He started speaking/flirting 2 weeks before it time for me to head back to Houston for school. He asked me out a couple of times but out work schedules conflicted. He asked for my number. I gave it to him. He asked me was I coming back to NJ next summer. I said yes but couldn't because I had to take some summer classes. He emailed me a couple of times checking up and I felt that was a missed opportunity. But oh well That's because divorce is so easy to do these days. He's looking at that girls ass. You wanna bang her don't you. You tool. I'll show you who has/is the biggest ass. DIVORCE! She sucked another's guys pee pee. I'll teach her a lesson. DIVORCE!! No ones really believes in working things out these days even with having children. My parents can not stand each other half the time, yet they are still together and for almost 40 years now. I don't know if its love or longevity. Their arguments when I have to hear them is always over something stupid. I guess when you have time with someone then you don't have a real reason to leave. The way people view love with these new generations ain't like it used to be.
LOL. Why are you mad, brah? This girl was into me, dude. I know she would have given me her information if I would've asked, but I respected the fact that she had a bf. I cracked jokes with her the whole flight, teased her, busted her balls, but also had a sincere genuine conversation. How do I know she was into me? She laughed at pretty much anything I said, while flickering her hair the whole time and showing nerves. And I didnt ask her like most losers do "Do you have a boyfriend"? The reason I found out was because she was visiting him in Los Angeles. (That was where we were headed). But, I guess it's just a missed opportunity. I even remember vividly as we unboarded the plane and caught her blank stare as we walked opposite directions in the terminal. Oh, and she was definitely, in Paulfsk's words, an "8/10" girl.
She was likely considering "trading up". All the signs were there. Was she mirroring your actions as well? Missed opportunity indeed!
:grin: Stop beating yourself up and making threads about "missed opportunities", sir. Move on. And next time, make sure you speak to her extensively and give her the time and day and ask to contact her later. If she decides to give you her number, don't say "but you have a boyfriend! no!" like a child. Perhaps she wants friends or someone to talk to. Realize that while she has a partner, you can't think of her romantically. More power to you for the next time, sir.
LOL. It's not an issue I've dwelled on much. This was just a random thought that crossed my mind at 1AM last night. And trust me, I wouldn't have said "oh but you have a boyfriend". That's just pathetic for someone to say that and should get slapped by me.
