Get out of your own head, if you're still there.

Met this girl a few weeks ago, I wasn't even trying to just hookup, I genuinely thought she was cute and interesting and could see myself going on real dates. Was going great, got her number, texted a bit. Setup a date a few days ago for today. This morning, she cancels without much information or rescheduling.

You think I wasn't sad? Yeah it fucking hurts, I'm bruised. I don't have a million options lining up at my door, so it hurts more. Of course, don't let anyone see you sweat. I hit her back with an "Alright, have a good one" and deleted her number from my phone. If she wants to get together again she can reach out, not my problem anymore. It's not about being a dick or manly or however you want to frame it, it's about moving on and thinking of yourself as someone of value. Someone of value doesn't become a hanger on when it's clear there's very little respect or interest. Be polite, but be firm, and most importantly move the fuck on.

What would've sent me spiraling a year ago, now I can't even work up a tear for. I'm going right back out tonight to talk to more women and maybe find someone that's actually interested... and you should too.

Word.
