I'll keep it short, thanks for reading:
I've been taught the valuable lesson on the perils of oneitis tonight and refuse to let it happen again.
I've been a student of seduction and social self-improvement for several years now (23now, since '10). Mostly because of this sub, I have very seldom been wanting of companionship and usually end up having more than I can keep up with. This has given me a player-ish (not horn-dog or loner, but midway on the doggin side) status among one of my larger social circles.
Couple months ago, a girl and I hit it off very well and enjoyed about a dozen solid dates over two months. She had gotten out of a ltr months ago, but was still not exactly sure what she wanted out of our interactions and it showed through mixed signals. I did not escalate physically because of these (1- based on history 2-looking for quality > quantity for relationships), and there grew some (I think sexual) tension between us.
At tonights Halloween party, I looked out the window to see her macking it with one of my more promiscuous friends in the driveway. Total blow to the ego, but not unexpected in hindsight. She sought me out for some fun after her Ltd and I missed an opportunity.
Fortunately, this rep has brought me more fun than anything and has treated me well for over 3 years now. Because of this, I will retain my IDGAF outlook and basic game/joking style but be more selective on directing emotions and taking considerably more chances.
I went from turning FBs down for gfs, crazy 3 girl (sequential, not consecutive) weekends, and taking FBs on other girls balconies (hey Mark), to trying too hard at finding a great match that I caught a bad case of oneitis. My promiscuity pendulum has hit the monogamous apex today and I want neither of these past extremes. Tomorrow starts the path to a happy medium.
This week I will #close the sassy redhead girl at Sonic that I make dick jokes with in the mornings. I will go to the Subway and #close the blonde with the great smile that always pushes cookies. I will initiate with my coworkers daughter (18) and/or step daughter (19) at his B-day party. I will #close the quiet, Asian cashier at Ace hardware. I will open the paint girl at Home Depot that is absolutely stunning and prob 2yrs older. I will find purposefully pursue new experiences and people.
Life is too short not to take all the chances provided. ***TL;DR: I will no longer curtail my options for only a potential good match.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
