As the title says, I'm in a smaller college so the classes have like 10-20 people in them so I'm hesitant to escalate too far with the women whom I flirt with. I can # close just fine, it's going further that bothers me.

With a lot of pickup stories, they can approach a girl, and if they get shot down, they'll never see her again or very rarely. But with this, I'm almost in a giant social circle (Not as bad as Highschool), but still a circle.

I've been very good at doing the whole "not giving a fuck" attitude, but that seems pointless if your reputation gets slaughtered from one failed pick up.

TL;DR Do you lose social value if you get shot down by a girl when you have to see her every week along with the same people?
