I am currently 25 yrs old. I met S (HB9) in June 07 while directing a short film. She was a model/actress that I shared a lot of interests with. I had ZERO game. Never read MM - and my conception of courtship stemmed from romantic movies where the nice guy wins. I got her number and went out for the next 2 months - progressing until I finally got her drunk enough to let me finger her... remember ZERO GAME. I tried to hit that night, but she said she was on her period. After that, she went MIA every other week - and I never got her into a sexual situation. We'd talk on the phone a lot - and I would be spouting IOIs ALL THE TIME. I did not know at the time that all my IOIs were pushing me into the friends zone. Finally - about 5 mos. after I met her - she decided to leave oveseas for a modeling gig and stay there indefinitely. We were supposed to hang out on my bday - but she went MIA that weekend and left the country the following Monday. Suffice to say - I was one miserable AFC. I was crazy with one-i-tus about this chick - and the turmoil I went through caused me to resort to reading MM.

I read MM - and started trying out the concepts on new chicks I'd meet at clubs or through aquaintences. After getting laid a few times - I began to see how negging, DHVing, and having RESPECT for yourself will cause a woman's attraction switches to be flipped. In the meanwhile - everyday I thought about S - and how much I wanted to get with her. She had flipped my switches and disappeared. Finally - 6 months later - she came back. I thought I was ready to try again - so we started going out - but it was the same story - this time I could not ever get past even making out - which drove me crazy. We saw each other every week - and I was never able to do anything. I realized that I was in a one-way relationship - and that I was disrepsecting myself. Finally - I chose to disappear. I sent her an e-mail saying that it wasn't her fault - but that I needed to get on with my life and not wait for her anymore. She argued to make me stay - and said that she wasn't physically open, but that if I really liked her - I'd wait. I cried BULLSHIT because I knew she had been sleeping with dudes overseas. So I disappeared.

She went overseas again - and during this time, I made myself strong - happy that I had finalyl said NO and let go of this woman. Then - about 3 months later - she started e-mailing me, calling me, IMing me... and I'd only respond 1 out of every 4 attempts with a distant, short, cordial - but ultimately rejecting response. Then she got back to the states -- and 2 wks later - I fucked the shit out of her by being chill, DHVing to her, and not showing any IOIs. Reading MM, learning all these things --- played through my head as I finally slept with this chick I thought about non-stop for the past 2 yrs! Coming inside her was probably the best feeling I have ever felt due to the build up and the history that had accumulated... what now? I'll try to keep hittin it. I like her and would like to pursue somethinhg.. If she flakes again, at least I fucked and I also know how to say NO to her. Thank you Mystery, thank you Savoy... you guys helped me get past a BIG fucking obstacle that plagued my mind for 2 yrs.
