TL;DR - First approach ever. Get hot girls number. Rejected because im too short, but thanks to TRP I realise fuck this bitch, next + if I did a better approach, I could have actually pulled her

So today I made my first approach. Nothing big, but for me its a huge step.

Driving home from work and I see a really attractive girl running long the pavement. I'm really into fitness, so nturally girls that are into fitness aswell really strike a chord with me. And she wasn't just running along for the sake of it. The girl had a pace on her. Like easily a sub 20 minute 5k pace.

I'm driving slow due to traffic and think fuck it. As soon as I am infront of her I motion for her to take her headphones out. I keep it simple. Ask if she is single, she is, ask is she wants to go for a drink, she says ok. Here is where some of TRP is slowly making its way into my brain.

Me : Great let me grab you number
Her : Do you have facebook instead?
Me : (dgaf attitute) Haha facebook? Look if your not interested dont worry about it
Her : 077xxxxxxxx....

Normally I would have given her my facebook, but I felt she was looking for a quick flake. I pushed through, showing that I wasn't too bothered about the fact she might not be interested and it payed off.

So I text her a few hours later and we exchange instragrams for some casual picture stalking. Now normally I would try to chat for hours by text, but again, TRP is slowly working its way in. I aim for one thing only. A date. She asks a bunch of questions. Age, occupation, where I live, where I train etc. I reply with "Do you want me to fax a copy of my passport over with that? Too many questions, lets grab a drink and find out in person". Old me would have answered all of them in great detail, but I'm learning.

Here comes the rejection. "Ok but height? thats a biggie". - Now I know whats coming. Too short. Its painfully obvious.

Now part of me wanted to just wave this off just to get to the date (advice on if I should have + how would be appreciated, I chose not too because the idea of turning up to the date and just being cruely rejected for my height wasnt my idea of a fun time) But I chose to just keep it simple.

Me : A modest 5'9
Her : Ah I dont date anyone under 6'

Dont get me wrong. I was angry. I was annoyed. But most of all?

Most of all I just thought "fuck this bitch next". Its not me, its her, shes the problem here. Any girl willing to just reject a guy for his height is not worth shit in my eyes. Thats a big step for me.

Then, I took a bigger step.

Its actually my fault (not in a negative way). I had a brief interaction with a very hot woman. She invested nothing in me, knew nothing about me and for some reason I expected her to just drop it all for a date with me? If I had taken the time to approach her properly, get her laughing, get her into my frame, I could have been 5'2 and still pulled her.

She didn't say no because of the height, she said no because I didn't get her invested from the start, so why would she say yes unless I met every single one of her arbitrary measures of attractiveness?

I've come a long way thanks to TRP and I'm only just starting.
