Lurker here.

TLDR; I'm romantically interested in this girl I've know for a few months. I'm going to tell her that I no longer wish to be her friend.

Some background:

20, virgin, kiss virgin. You name it. Beta as it gets. The type to buy you flowers and balloons for your birthday type of beta. These acts were a result for my demand to be loved. I always wanted to be loved and viewed romantically by a woman, just like the moves ;)

Upon discovering TRP, it has opened my eyes. Everything I've been told was a lie. I then began to apply TRP to all of my relations, not just the romantic ones. (Try it, it literally works with anything).

I met this girl in college, she was attractive to me (7/10), so I befriended her just like Beta me would normally do. I never wanted to envision woman for sex, I was so against it until TRP. I then realized.

What can she offer me?

Did I really want to be her emotional tampon? I've been doing that for most of my life? I have too many women in my life that are not romantically interested in me in any way shape or form. I don't have space for that anymore.

I don't want to be her friend. I don't want her to be mine. What I want is romance. Slight intimacy. Friendship and romance cannot coexist.

She has to go. Does she deserve an explanation? Sure. If only I was honest at the beginning of the "friendship". There is nothing I have to lose

TRP has taught me so much, and I am thankful. If it wasn't for TRP, I would not be able to do what I am doing.

What I've learned for TRP/Lurking:

Woman are the gatekeepers of sex. Men are the gatekeepers of commitment.

Just because someone writes you, doesn't mean your obligated to respond. (I wish I can remember the genius who wrote this. You know who you are fellow redditor

Create, maintain, demolish relations.
