Head off a couple of questions:

None of them were a hard "No." The first girl I asked basically said her past relationships had been so bad she wasn't sure she ever wanted to date again, but if she did it'd be me and she'd give it some thought. I thought the second one had broken up with her BF weeks ago but it turned out he dumped her literally while she was driving to class that morning. Big oof. The third one said she had too much on her plate right now with classes and work plus some family stuff or she'd have taken me up on dinner and a movie tonight. Fucking RIP. So my Valentine this year is Mr Jim Beam

I'm already in that thread if you notice ;)

That's, like, the opposite of what I'm trying to do. I'm tired of hookup culture. I want someone to make out with on weekends while we watch extended edition LOTR or something.

That's the plan. Definitely with girl 2. Not gonna get pushy with 1 or 3 because that would go bad real fast I think. There's one other one I want to talk to but she's not on campus as much and might be dating someone? She's too pretty to be single long if they broke up when I think the did so I may miss my chance before I see her again.

good effort. remember, the rejections don't matter. ask lottery winners what they think about the times they played and didn't win. it doesn't matter now. keep at it, get yourself a girl.

... Get out of my head pls. Short answer: Yes. That is a conversation between she and I, however. EDIT: Unless you're a Vy alt? In which case you know how to get ahold of me, cutie.

I will. I'm finally getting over my last bad breakup so I'll keep at it until I find someone eventually. Just difficult because I'm super picky (when I probably have no right to be).

You're gonna bounce back if you keep at it. Don't trip about the three no's. Brush em off. New day tomorrow.

*drunkenly tries to think*

At the time you asked his...? Several Krystal Burgers and some of their Hot Wings.

As of now? Homemade pot roast with baby potatoes, carrots, and a bit of onion for flavor

How do you gain the courage to even ask out a girl

In fact, how do you gain the courage to physically relocate yourself to where women hang out like clubs or whatever

Two parter!

A) So its not about courage. Its about logic. It takes some work to get logic to beat emotion but with practice you can. Took me about 3 weeks to psyche up to this tbh. Anyway, simple answer is Nothing Bad Will Happen If You Look Stupid. No matter how cringey you might be, you can always just walk away after. Most of the time other adults will be happy to pretend nothing ever happened too.

B) I work on a college campus so I'm there in the normal day to day of things. I have no idea how people meet women socially outside of school/work. I do go out drinking etc occasionally but never to hit on women. In fact I get hit ON way more than I hit on other people (mostly by thirsty gay dudes if we're being honest. Apparently I'm like the epitome of bear). That said, all three are girls I know from work and one of them could ruin me if she wanted (the first one). Eventually logic dictated it was worth the risk and eventually the rest of me agreed with logic.

when i look at things "logically" i typically come back to two thoughts:

1) everyone will laugh and ill be kept awake at night forever due to this memory
2) nobody would ever logically want to be with me anyway :(

I'd be ok with that tbh. I assume the breakup was a bit raw on her. I'll give her some time to recover from it and try again. Say... Wednesday? That's a full week. Should be fine, right?

Best of luck!

The last time I asked someone out was two-ish weeks ago. It wasn't a hard no, but CE recommended against following up on her

You have to just not care about nos. I use to get pissed back when, as i was really focusing hard on each girl i asked. Once i started asking not caring about the reaponse too much, i got more numbers.

So essentially learn to not care so much and for some reason girls like that. Dont think about that logic either.

Like alcohol or today? Alcohol would be shots of Jim Beam chased with Pepsi. Today would be a smoothie I made for breakfast

Plain greek yogurt, frozen strawberries (I bought them awhile back and froze them myself), a banana, ice cubes, and orange juice.

Honestly, no. I know the girl pretty well. We're not coworkers because I work for a different company but we work in the same building. I see her pretty much every day. I'm expecting her to come back with a yes later this week. I'm pretty sure I surprised her more than anything.
