Post up one of your exchanges with a woman and let the board analyze it. We'll help you get to the bottom of this.
8/22/11 (Bus)
Approaches: 1
Numbers: 0
I'm riding back on the bus from dinner on my first day back at college when a cute brunette with curly hair sits across from me. The bus is nearly empty, the fact that noone would hear me helped lessen my fear.
-Polka Dot-
Worhol: Nice dress
Polka: Thanks, you like my polka dots?
Worhol: I do.
Polka: I've had it since my freshman year in high school, bla bla
Worhol: Wow, you must have an amazing body to be able to fit in the same dress for all these years, I'm jealous
Polka: Thanks *looks away coyly, IOI*
(We continue to talk about our background. She mentions her long curly hair, I make a joke about my short hair, she tells me it looks nice (Giant IOI). She then asks for my name, another giant IOI. At this point, I think I have it in the bag. I'm excited inside because I'm ready to get my first phone number ever. We talk about her major, joke about french. My stop is coming up.)
Worhol: *shake her hand* It was nice to meet you, my stop is coming up. You seem really interesting, would you be up for lunch sometime soon?
Polka: I'm sorry, I don't really do that. I don't really go out with people I don't know.
(I'm utterly thrown off by this, I thought she was obviously attracted to me, then gives me that excuse even after I give her my all?)
Worhol: What? What about me, I don't know you either, we'd hang out, and you might try to jump me in an alleyway
Polka: *laughs* Yeah, I'm sorry, I just don't do that. Please don't tell me I've discouraged you from being friendly to strangers
Worhol: Pretty much, I'm now never going to talk to another person again thanks to you
Polka: *laughs*, sorry
-An example of a conversation with a friend where I have no romantic intention whatsoever-
Worhol: I'm almost embarrassed I haven't checked in on you the entire time we've been at college. What have you been up to this whole time?
Her: Hi Worhol! No worries, things are crazy and life happens I've been good! Can't believe I will be graduating in May. Oh lots has happened! I am living in my sorority for the 3rd year now and will be sad to move out in May. How have you been? What has been new this year?
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving break!
Worhol: I've been good. I've also been working towards graduating and spending too much time playing around.
What's new? Salsa, improv shows, whatever comes to my mind to go to it seems.
Hmm... you are in a sorority, how troublesome. If you tagged along with me to eat, you wouldn't get into fist fights with women from rival sororities, would you?
Her: Salsa? sounds exciting! Are you graduating in May as well? Haha no I hope no fight would happen!
Worhol: Kinda, I'll be graduating in the summer, close enough.
After you graduate, who is going to be my role model?
She doesn't respond after this. Every female I talk to on facebook, online, or text does this. Phone calls are never answered.
