One door closes and another opens.

Full quote
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

You must be an old school redditor from at least two weeks ago.

Absolutely. I was out of the social game for a while, haven't partied, haven't even kissed a girl for a year or so, but started going out again 1.5 months ago. Last week all of my friends flaked on me and I was like "fuck it, I guess I'll just go alone get some drinks and go to a club". Fucked a cute HB8 that night with a great body (after not getting laid for 2 years) and made a few male friends as well. I don't care about going out alone anymore.

Just plugging here to give another angle: always have something going on that when a girl flakes it doesn't matter because you can go back to do what you do. Like learning a new skill, having a project, making art, going out to chat with strangers, etc.
This extends to any change of plans and you can accommodate it with whatever you're working towards, game or self improvement

I did this yesterday night. No plans and just started going. I ended up just walking around and hearing the joy in parties around the city. Went past a club with big windows so you could see right into it, but I ended up just staring and eventually just went home. I couldn't even get myself to talk to a drunk guy sitting on the ground, it seemed weird.
Sounds like a lot of whining, I know. I'm going to try and talk to atleast 5 people tonight, so I hope it'll turn into something but I honestly don't think so.
I wonder if there is some kind of meetup thing for people to wingman, I usually do well when I have friends to go back to if things aren't going my way. I know the RSD Inner circle stuff but is that even used anymore?

Just get some drinks by yourself and go dance and meet people. I don't smoke but I take a pack every time I go out (without a lighter) and just come to random people outside to ask for it and do some small talk, join their company sometimes, meet their girl friends, etc.
[β]gmol4202 points 8 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
That's the plan. I'll go to the club with the big see through windows and try my best. Also the smoke room is a place I already meet a lot of people, even though I hate tobacco (I have friends that frequently need a cig so I just go with them), I'll try it out. Honestly even though I like clubs it sounds terrible to go alone, but I guess that's what it takes to get better.

Great message. I really fall victim to this kind of thinking staying home when I don't feel like it. But when my friends force or convince me to come I have such a good time in left thinking why the hell didn't I want to go

Damn, how large is the city you live in?
[β]trpmkb121 points 8 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
A small one in comparison to NYC/Chicago exc.
[β]ToFapNoMorelsTheGoal 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm taking this time to build up my social energy. Idk, this sub doesn't really talk about the energy it takes to be "on", especially after a busy and draining work week. I'm taking this time to build up some social energy to power through work and go out with friends at the beginning of the work week

Where do you live?
[β]deridder 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wow. Nice.
[β]p1243 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
great job brother. Being your own man is the best and comes before finding your soulmate. Also, when one door closes, a more lucrative one opens. I usually ask myself, "would I even want to marry a girl that flaked on me?!" - makes things so much better.

I do go out but am unable to approach girls
[β]zoomzoom1998 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Thanks for the inspiration.

lives in a dangerous city :'c

The OP can be a hard hitter.
Lately, I been running into girls I attempted to approach but I'm too old for. The only hope I feel like I have is running into a joiner in as I visit this college my niece used to go to.

What happens next? You think she'll be the one? Or it's just a hookup?
