Law of Power 38 states "Think how you'd like, but behave like others."
In today's political climate, this law is important now more than ever, and I paid for it. First off, Ive been lurking TRP frequently and do the best I can to implement what I learn but I commonly learn through failure, and this is just this instant. I let a political view slip that clashed with a recent pickups views, and she texted me today saying it was a deal breaker. Is there any recovering this? More details follow:
I'm a student at a very liberal, but large university, and joined a professional organization for networking and social purposes. This student org is full of very nerdy people as it is in a STEM program. I've made tons of progress in my game, and if I may humble brag, I'm the only one who is even slightly aware of game.
First organization party I pull this girl in the org, play pong, nothing fancy but leave with Snapchat and digits in hand. Next weekend is a sleep over for the same group, cringy I know but I couldn't miss out on the opportunity of alcohol and a coed sleep over. I pull this same girl and take her to another room where everything but sex takes place. No condom.
Fast forward a few days, and she takes my offer to go study a mutual subject. We chit chat and end up on politics. She walks me into a question of what side of the spectrum I fall under. I'm moderate, she's a liberal, but let's say we clashed on who we cast our votes for. I know this was fucking retarded, and I regretted even getting into it.
I steer the ship out of the political waters, and we study and chat about everything under the sun until 4am at the library just getting to know each other. Talk about future date ideas aligning with our interests and she agrees. As I leave she said this was fun and we should study again. Let me remind you she stayed with me roughly 5 hours after the political bombshell.
Get a text the following day saying the opposition of our debate is a deal breaker and doesn't want anything intimate. I say something along the lines of "what a shame, I would have loved the healthy debates, and that I'm happy she didn't waste either of our time, and say see ya around." She replies " ok, glad we are chill :) ".
What the fuck does this mean? Why would she flip from asking me to study again and talk about going out to cutting the tree down?
I have to see her at events every weekend for the entirety of my participation in this organization so I need a plan of recourse. Obviously you don't negotiate with terrorists, but I'd like my plate back because she's the first girl I set my eyes on, said I had to have it, and took it.
It's a milestone for sure, but I want to run a social experiment on her. Dread her with the other only cute girl in the org who also asked me to be her date to the organization halloween party? Act like nothing changed? Cold shoulder? Any advice would help.
TL;DR, joined a student organization saw a girl I wanted, nutted up, got digits, hung out, let political view she didn't like slip, she hung out for 5 hours after this bomb, got text next day saying it's a deal breaker, still have to see her every weekend. Dread with other cute girl? IDGAF? Cold shoulder?"
