tl;dr: HB7 chats me up at the gym, a few weeks later arranges a playdate with her kids and mine with my wife (who she knows through church), so I will see her at home tomorrow. Just starting my MRP journey, no game whatsoever, how can I avoid acting like a total beta fucktard?
Lifting 4 months, a couple months ago I see married HB7 at the gym I knew from a past life. Which is to say I was acquainted with her at church. Haven't seen her in at least 2 years. First couple times I see her, she chats me up.
I see her a few more times, keep it short, "hey, hows it going, have a good one" etc. I notice her, act friendly, but stay focused on my routine because fuck fuckarounditis.
Yesterday I'm on deadlifts and she posts up at the only squat rack with a view into the deadlift room, with at least one other open squat rack. I ignore her during my routine but say hi as I walk past her to get something.
Today I'm on treadmill which overlooks the cable machines. She shows up, and does a 20 minute routine in front of me. I ignore her the whole time, stay focused straight ahead.
Right as I finish up, wipe down my treadmill, she finishes and heads to the lockers, walking just in front of me. As I'm getting my shit, I say hi, she chats me up again for a minute. Turns out, she arranged a playdate with her kids and mine, with my SAHM wife, who know each other from church. So I'll see her at my house tomorrow.
Now, I am dead-focused on starting my MRP journey right. Lift, read, STFU, repeat, period. Spinning plates, dread game, all that shit is so new to me, I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. All I care about right now is not looking like a total fucking beta retard in front of HB7 both at the gym and at home. Edit: I want to use this as a learning opportunity for how to become less beta around women. Advice?
Edit2 I am so completely full of shit I can't see straight. Thanks for calling me on it, all of you, seriously. I feel so much better. Looking forward to next week's OYS. STFU, lift, read, repeat. Got it.
For my own edification, the least-bullshit rundown I can come up with:
I try my hardest to ignore her at the gym when she's doing her routine in front of me so I can not look like the beta fucktard that I am, because deep down I really can't get enough of her attention-seeking behavior because I'm even more insecure than she is, which is why I want to be at home and practice game when she's there, so I can get more validation from her attention. In front of my wife and kids, and her kids, on a playdate.
Holy fucking hell, I'm actually laughing out loud.
