Hey guys, I recently started trying to get ahold of my dating life and just becoming happier in general through this subreddit. I started with tinder because it was easy and was good practice at pacing my game.

Anyways, a few friends were meeting up at somebody's house tonight and this girl I've never met before was going to be there. I started the night knowing I was going after her.

Everything was going great, honestly. I was doing kino, which was something I was seriously uncomfortable with before tonight. I was doing some minor negging which is something I'm also not really into even after tonight but it worked regardless. I felt like a fucking man and second-guessing wasn't a phrase I had in my vocabulary.

Then came the downfall. I was trying to isolate her and was really just working on a k-close. She wanted it so bad. She was telling my friends that if I got her alone she would be about making out. But she just wouldn't let me isolate her. I was getting IOI's and the kino was working hardcore until it was obvious that I intended to isolate her.

It fucked up my groove and I ended up figuratively stepping on her toes and she just clammed up and refused to even talk to me. Then she had a friend pick her up not even saying goodbye.

Fuck I'm disappointed guys. I mean, fair enough, there's plenty of chicks out there, but I was doing SO GOOD. It just happened. I wasn't even thinking about technique.

Sorry for the venting y'all, I just really need to get this off of my chest before I end up shutting down because of it. Definitely need to work on embracing rejection.

Tl;dr what comes up must come down apparently.
