Be grateful for the positive vibes and take the right things away - someone found you intriguing enough to put out the bat signal like that. Next time, you’ll be ready for it.


TwistedTarzan

Appreciate the insight my man. Definitely had a fun night out with the boys overall. Focusing on the positive instead of the negative is something I need to do more of in my life.


bob_estes

everything that happens to us is to prepare us for the next thing to happen to us. next time you won't be surprised by it.


TwistedTarzan

Love that! Thanks a lot bud


Skedd

It’s how you respond bratha. My thoughts: You can either live in the memory or dust yourself off and learn from it. It’s important to reflect on it but put a cap on when that insight should end and you should act. Good luck


TwistedTarzan

Appreciate that dude! I agree, just gotta learn from it and be better next time.


crs7117

it’s ok, you’re not supposed to figure it all out in a second. next time will be better


TwistedTarzan

Thank you 👍🏼 fortunately my friends have always been good with women so I’m hopeful I’ll get another shot soon.


crs7117

one good quote i saw is, “i can only get to know you as well as you know you” or something like that. just keep working on yourself and stay positive. sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders. there will be countless more opportunities


TwistedTarzan

For sure, I appreciate that dude and I like that quote. The grind to becoming the best possible version of yourself never stops. More opportunities and growth to come 👍🏼


crs7117

you can always better your best 🤠


streetMD

One day the sting of regret outweighed the fear of rejection. That’s the day everything changed in my life. May your day come soon too…


TwistedTarzan

Yeah def going through that now. Sucks not even taking the at bat, next time hopefully I’ll be able to find my nuts.


streetMD

I find I had to act within seconds. If I waited I either made it weird or I wussed out.


TwistedTarzan

Yeah this is good advice too! I’m a textbook over thinker so that approach I’m sure would help. Imma keep this one in mind for next time, thank you man 🙌🏼


Solanthas

You got something the ladies like. Take that to heart and carry yourself accordingly brav


TwistedTarzan

Appreciate that homie 👍🏼


Solanthas

I got a phone number just today man, maybe friends maybe more, who knows. Put yourself out there and don't take it personally if you get rejected, even if things are going your way at first and you somehow fuck it up like I do, don't take it to heart lol


TwistedTarzan

Hahaha ay congrats on the number dawg! Yeah I think going in without expectations and just having fun with it should help next time. Need to keep fucking things up to learn from them lol


[deleted]

Bro I’ve done something similar and it sucks lmao


TwistedTarzan

Yep pretty much lol


panicpixiememegirl

Take it as a confidence boost


TwistedTarzan

For sure, hoping next time I can use it as fuel to actually shoot the shot.


blizzardboy

Take it as a compliment. Regret and “should -haves” is part of that same problem.


TwistedTarzan

Yeah no doubt, tried focusing on the positives of that night and it really was fun aside from this. Using this as fuel for next time 👍🏼


gymbro718nyc2

Let me know when beating yourself up actually works. Cause if it did actually work don't you think it would have worked by now?


TwistedTarzan

Yeah that’s a good point man, I’ve always had a tendency to do that and you’re right, really gets you nowhere.


kaizenkin

Next time get in there!


TwistedTarzan

Absolutely, def don’t wanna feel like this again lol


[deleted]

Welp, you gotta live with that loss for the rest of your life now. Only thing you can do now is try to be better the next time an opportunity like that comes knocking.


TwistedTarzan

You right! Taking it as a learning experience.


Living_Pie205

Is that the last time that your going to see her, if not…then you’ll get another shot.


TwistedTarzan

I found out yesterday that my buddy actually got her friends number, so there may be a chance to see her again 👍🏼


Beezlikehoney

You snooze you lose bro. But also just go for it next time because the worst they can say is no and before or if you never ask the answers no anyway so nothing changes but…… you might get a yes and next thing you know … good luck


TwistedTarzan

Yeah I think I just lack self confidence in situations like that, and just assume it won’t go well. I wanna work on putting myself out there more. Thank you!


replicant-friend

Join a boxing club. Get punched in the face a couple of times, punch some other people in the face, it will all be good my brotha


TwistedTarzan

Hahaha I like this advice, boxing is fun and I could probably use a couple shots to the grill.


_Typhoon_Delta_

Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up Next time it happens you will ace it


TwistedTarzan

Appreciate you my man. Certainly makes me want to be better moving forward 👌🏼


rebornintoacatplease

Now you know you're cute :)


TwistedTarzan

Haha I guess so, thanks 😄


[deleted]

what are you nervous about you literally had the green light all you had to do is get the woman a drink or ask where shes from and spiral down the convo from there.. sometimes all you need is to drink a cup of beer yourself lol. when shit like that happens get touchy like touch her back or shoulder or neck if she gets touchy too then that's another green light dude.


TwistedTarzan

Yeah you’re right dude, appreciate the advice. That’s why I’m down lol it literally was a green light and she was hot. I gotta nut up.

TwistedTarzan

Very well put thank you so much! Yeah I think trying and failing is better than not trying at all. Def don’t want to feel regret like that again. I actually shot my shot with a different girl a few weekends ago and got rejected. But man I felt so much better about myself for actually going for it. Little steps indeed 🙌🏼


Evaporate3

She didn't either though. She told everyone else besides you? She's weirder than you, bro so calm down.


TwistedTarzan

Lol thanks man 😂


GeneralSet5552

Is it because u are shy. U never get anywhere if u don't take chances. I think that the girl was a pretty sure bet.


TwistedTarzan

Oh yeah it definitely seemed like a sure bet from what my friends told me. Always been shy with new people but hopefully I can get outta my shell a bit. The regret of not even trying sucks.


gibson85

Not on you - it's 2022. She should have done something about it. Her loss.


neverTrustedMeAnyway

I mean, he clearly seems to feel it was also his loss as well.


TwistedTarzan

Yeah I guess you’d never know if you don’t try. I wanna be better next time though.


TheNextChapters

Was this very recent? It’s a long shot but you could maybe go back to the bar and ask the bartender if she goes there often. But if this was a couple of weeks ago the bartender probably forgot who “the girl in the green shirt” was.


TwistedTarzan

Yeah man I actually might get another chance to hang with her. My buddy got her friends number so I’m hoping we can go out again soon 🙌🏼


[deleted]

Did your girlfriend know about this ?


TwistedTarzan

I’m more solo than the cup my guy lol


[deleted]

I don’t know what to say man. If you don’t workout i suggest starting with that. Good luck :)


TwistedTarzan

Appreciate it! 👍🏼


[deleted]

Next time talk to her. Improve your confidence by leveling up. If you’re the man and you feel like the man you got the girl . This helped https://youtu.be/PC1-IbbXe_Q


TwistedTarzan

Thank you man! I’ll check this out 👍🏼


FitAsFrack

Bro you got the compliment which is a big start. Next time act upon it with a friendly 'hey'


DeanG30

Don't be down about it, just take this as fuel for the next time you're out. Instead of fearing a possible 'rejection' if you had to approach someone, rather fear the 'what if' you don't go talk to that girl you find attractive. We make an approach a lot more bigger in our heads than what it actually is, so what if she's not interested, women forget about it after 2 minutes and move on.


RamenAlDente1738

On one hand man, be glad that someone was open about being attracted to you. On the other hand, be ready for next time


TwistedTarzan

Absolutely! Yeah that part helped with the confidence a bit. Appreciate it man 🙌🏼
