So, I don’t know if this has happened to any of the rest of you, but in the course of dating, I’ve made some female friends where we both quickly realized there was not a romantic spark, but remained friends and continue to talk and meet up.

One woman in particular has been brutally honest with me about my “game” and her perception of me and my mannerisms and habits on my first date. I told her I would welcome her honesty on observations of behavior that could be off-putting to other women.

Although I’m over the “mourning” of the dissolution of my marriage, she said I probably have to de-program myself of habits I developed over the course of my marriage as a defense mechanism. She said she just kind of saw a “wall” that made me hard to relate to.

I know some of you “red pillers” will tell me me I’m wasting my time. Whatever…Everyone‘s entitled to their opinion. I ultimately want a LTR again at some point, not just a series of hookups. I know I need to improve my social skills.
