It's absolutely a skill issue by my age.
I have gotten dates at the grocery store before, which is where the second skill issue comes in: women don't stick around very long.
Ah well shit, maybe then idk. I have the opposite problem I guess, hard to start a convo, but if I do I can usually keep people around.
I mean, I definitely don't start convos the way people want me to start convos, either. Idk. Just had the weirdest experience last night. Two weeks ago, I met this girl who was pretty cool in a friend way. Also, she doesn't swing my way, no problem. Cool person. So last weekend I went out with her and some of her friends. One of her friends was kinda cute, we talked a bit, but not long at all. Nothing I would consider serious. I wasn't trying to hit on her. She didn't seem uncomfortable at all.
Then last night, hanging out with the same group of people. This girl I talked to would straight up run away if I got within ten feet of her. Happened twice, and then I started avoiding her because like...clearly causing distress with my presence alone.
What do I do with that? I mean apart from keep avoiding her, cause clearly she doesn't want to be anywhere near me.
Yeah idk what I'd do with that either, idk that I've ever had that reaction (if I have I just never noticed). I mean "completely ignore" seems like what I'd probably do tbh, definitely never interact again.
Is that the right move? Fuckin' idfk lol. But that's what I'd default to.
I only noticed because the second time I sat on the other side of the couch she was sitting on to check when the fireworks were gonna be, and she straight jumped up and out of the room. I wasn't like, close to her or leaning her way or anything.
I probably give off some kind of creep vibes, I just don't really understand how or why, and at this point I have zero clue on how to fix it. Guess I just gotta accept that single straight women under age 50 avoid me like the plague. Old ladies at the yacht club love me.
Lol I feel that, older ladies have always loved me too, and I haven't historically had a problem with that...
Yacht club is beyond me, but bar milfs we've always clicked.
Yeah idk she's definitely not into it, but I'm not Truman Showing you so I'm at a loss as to why. But that's the "no" you take for an answer and move on, ask another, fuck it.
