fishtaco Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 You know, it's funny...I thought the same thing. What I discovered was, for me at least, the ego boost was pretty much the same. The only thing that made it better was the fact that I didn't indulge. The girl in question was incredibly attractive. It's rare to see a girl like that out in public, much less have the opportunity to be the only guy she's interested in talking to. During one of her final unwanted visits to me that evening, she actually asked me if I was gay. I laughed and said "no, why?" She said something to the effect of "you'd have to be gay to not be into me". I found that to be rather presumptuous on her part, and at that point any empathy I felt toward her over the situation abruptly vanished. Of course it would have been awesome to have sex with her, but at that moment rejecting her felt too damn good. Who knows? Perhaps I spared myself an STD. That's true. And depending how she is, she may turn around and reject you as soon as you show interest. Hence she was trying so hard. That's the singles game. So none of us could predict what could have happened. But given your description of what happened, you've received quite a dose of poison from the women of your past. I think once the poison leaves your body, you'll go through a priority shift, and you'd be willing to take the risk just to see if you could hook up, like me if I were in that situation, and if I were single. But don't worry, you'll never go back to that hopeless romantic. That's a bad place to be. It'll just be a recalibration. But all that will happen naturally in due time I think. Oh and, don't get married again.
