The few times I've asked out a girl I get rejected. In retrospect, who gives a shit it happens to everybody. But it tears me down to my core. It makes me question my value as a man and a human being. Because this woman didn't want me, no woman ever will. It sounds ridiculous tying it out. But that's just how I feel.

Ant time I see an attractive woman my mind instantly goes back to those previous encounters. "Play stupid games win stupid prizes" has been my attitude as of late. "Why would she even want me to look at her?" I haven't even asked out a woman in four years; and I already knew she liked me, because I don't want to feel that feeling again. How can I move past this? How can prove to myself that one woman's opinion doesn't determine my value?
