I'll be honest I've been having a hard time with girls these past few months (which is ironic because I made a lot of changes and look a lot better than I used to). I'm getting a lot of "insecurity" from them on their part, typically of them thinking I just want to bang them.

Long story short, this girl I've been texting I asked her to hangout. She kind of blew me off with dumb responses. Then, I figured that since I'd in all honesty never see her again, I would just troll and see how dumb (read: beta) I could act and see what would happen.

So, here she is giving me one word answers and all of a sudden I just drop "I want to take you out on a dinner date" and she goes "okay, but just know that if you take me out I don't want you to expect anything from me". Then convo continues and she starts asking me where and, again re-iterates that she's not "going to do anything with me just because I take her out to eat"

Obviously I'm not going to take her out. But I'm really curious what the fuck happened here? Why did being beta work, whereas when I was asking her to just hangout, watch a movie or go get coffee didn't. I had to come across as desperate and clingy with the number of times I asked her out and the sappy shit I said "I don't want you to be lonely" (in reply to her saying that)
