What is over? This thread? The friendship? The chances of dating? Your correct conjugation of the verb of existence?

All of that.

Quitter. :p

Nah, this person just dislikes me now. Yeah, so we went from getting along to nothing because of her actions. Fantastic

The thread doesn't need to go on any longer anyway. It will be in the archives. :p

TridenT, you fail. Just take a lesson for this. Women don't mind guys who are shy, and that can sometimes work in their favor. However, when a question like that comes up, assertiveness is what they look for. "I guess" is about the worst possible answer you could've given. Too wishy-washy. It screams "You are a friend to me who I don't think too much of and would rather keep at an arms length at all times" or that you simply do not care.

Second, back off for a while. Pushing this in its immedeate aftermath is a BAD idea. If it comes up again in conversation (again, not initiated by you), give her the answer she deserves. If not, wait until the situation has died down and approach it the exact opposite way you usually do. Again, assertiveness. Be direct and don't pussyfoot around the issue.

Third, Ladder theory is FALSE. If you know what you are doing, going between ladders can be accomplished with relative ease. The rewards can be even greater long-term doing this, but it hurts all the more if/when you fall on your ass. Tread wisely.

OMG, please post this in every L&R as (1) it's gold and (2) it answers about 90% of all threads in that forum.

Yeah, it was a good response. :)

Anyway.. The advice won't apply to me anymore, for this person, because I plan on never contacting this person again.

What is up with me? I've gotten like five girls phone numbers in the past few weeks and fucked up every single time.

She should join ATOT. We definitely have something in common with her...We don't like you either. :p (but you are fun to fuck with.) :D

Yeah, I'll be sure to tell her about ATOT so she can realize how much of a miserable failure at life I am. :p

If she never asked it would have never happened. No matter what I would have said, it wouldn't have gone over well. She already had her mind made up

You do know there's a reason why she asked, right?
