Situation 1: Meet a girl, we get along great. Unfortunately, I waited too long to ask her out and she gets a boyfriend. She then cuts off all contact with me, we never talk again.
Situation 2: Meet girl, she seems nice and interested. I call a few days later, ask her out (not waiting too long this time!). She stands me up, tells me last minute (literally) she couldn't come and may come next week. We set lunch next week. On the day, she texts 15 minutes beforehand saying she just woke up and can't make it. This is false, I saw her on Facebook a couple hours earlier. I don't bother replying and we never talk again.
Situation 3: A repeat of Situation 1, but with a twist. We were just friends and made it clear that we were only friends. We hung out all the time. New semester starts and she starts making up BS excuses as to why we can't ever hang out. Turns out she got a boyfriend and was lying to me the whole time. If she had just told me the truth, I wouldn't be so pissed off since we were just friends to begin with. The fact that she outright lied to my face several times was enough to make me greatly dislike her.
Situation 4: Meet girl, get along great and she's incredibly nice and cute. She's Japanese, a language I am learning. Get her number and call a couple days later. She's evidently out with Japanese friends. She almost immediately puts me on speaker phone and her friends ask me to say Japanese phrases like a trained parrot while they laugh. She then gives me a quick goodbye. For good measure, I send her a text saying what I originally wanted to say, asking if she's free and what not, and she gives a polite "No thank you. I have plans every weekend." I reply playing it off, saying if she ever wants to hang out to just call (I expect no calls) and she says "Thank you. Goodbye." In Japanese speak, this means "I hate you, never talk to me again."
Situation 5: The countless situations where I approached a girl at a party, school club, etc. and struck up conversation only to realize she really doesn't want to talk to me and it's a forced conversation that I end after a few minutes when I see the futility.
That's the story of the past year at college so far, the first time when I've actually made an effort to go after girls, something I never did in high school. That's not to say I have bad relations with all girls, I have some female acquaintances (none are very close though) and one good female friend. But as far as dating goes (and the one formerly good friend situation), I have had zero luck since August. One rejection or bad situation after another.
Any advice at all? God, now I wished I tried to get with girls more in high school, I might have learned this stuff earlier.
