You’re overthinking this. Just don’t care at all. Not one bit. If she comes over and says hi have a chat. But if she doesn’t want to talk don’t, if you’re busy don’t either. Sounds like you need to work on your self esteem.
Good luck 👌

I'm kinda over it. It's just that my mind starts to wonder what went wrong so that I can fix my mistakes. I hate losing in anything and not knowing why and how to do better.

You lost nothing as nothing was gained. You’re only mistake was thinking you had gained something to lose.
Do you watch excessive amounts of porn? Or do you do something else that makes you build people up like this. That if they don’t like you then you’ve done something wrong? Reassess. Are you the same with others too? This isn’t healthy.
Just don’t care at all. But not because I’m telling you not to, because these people don’t really matter until they make themselves matter to you.

I do believe that you might have done something wrong for them to dislike you. But this is definitely not always the case.
I usually don't act like that around anyone. It's only girls and it's only when I felt like I might of have done something or said something that creeped them out, but have no idea if I really did. The "not knowing" is what kills me. At least if I knew for a fact that I creeped her out, I would of avoided her the rest of the shift(to avoid awkward situations).

You're probably just not her type. Game isn't some magic skill where you can get any girl you want. Not even REMOTELY close! You probably did nothing at all wrong. The same 'game' on a girl who is into you would havv been fine
Don't overthink it or buy into this 'pua' stuff too much. It's all a numbers game. Even for the 'best'

I want to add to this the same goes for humor.
To quote the TS: ' I really wanted to make her laugh but the most I got was a smile. '
Different people have different humour. Just look at comedy movies, comedians and even funny sketches you see on a social media. Some people think it is hilarious while other people will not even smile about it.

So on at least two occasions you've asked girls that you work with for their numbers and they've not given it to you. I'd say call it a day in terms of approaching girls at work. It can be tricky to navigate even when it 'works'. Continuously hitting on girls at work could land you without a job, let alone a date. There's a whole world out there, no need to s**t on your doorstep!
I didn't ask the other for her phone number. I was gonna let that one go for longer since I didn't feel like there was much rapport.
I really don't know what I was thinking here.

Flirting at the workplace is not a good idea.
[–]greatlifeahead 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
You should progress slower at work. People try to be friendly to co-workers and that can make things harder because you don't get a rejection. I would just banter with her and try to see if the attraction grows. Also try to let things progress more naturally and try not to seek her our.
Also you sound needy. You just met her and you are already worrying if you could see her and even asking her where did she go. That sounds almost like a stalker.

I'm worried at this point that I embarrassed myself. I can't lose this job right now. The worst part is that I thought my self esteem has gotten better since I feel a bit more confident around the girls that I talk to after so many rejections.
I have already had a childhood trauma where all the girls were against me for something I was unknowingly doing many years ago and it left me terrified. I really, really, really don't want something similar to happen this time. The last thing I need in my life right now for my self esteem, is to have the reputation of a needy person.
Ngl this comment made me fear going to work now since I fear I might have a bad reputation since I have tried to flirt with a few girls. One of them even laughed at one my jokes, and we still talk, and are still acquaintances but that last two might have been avoiding me.

I am sorry to hear that. I didn't mean to make you fear going to work. You seem to care too much about what people think and should try to relax and just let things be. Try to just focus on your job and leave the flirting and joking to rest for now. If you feel like several girls are avoiding you you must know that you are trying too much.

You were needy, the fact that you tried so hard to make her laugh proves that. She bottom line doesn’t find you attractive so nothing you do will change that. Move on.

Hey man. I’ve been in a similar situation before and tbh, not tryna be rude or anything but you’re overthinking. Keep calm and collect your thoughts. If she walk past you, greet her. If she doesn’t look engage in the conversation, then dont force yourself. You’ll make yourself feel bad. If you can, ask her whether she wants to grab a drink or smth. Im sure you’ll be able to do it, stay strong bro 💪

No worries though! Though the thread has been taken down, any conversations you have started here can still continue, and if you want to PM a mod to get their opinion on this thread, feel free to do so and they will still be able to weigh in.
