True. As bad as getting FZ'd sounds when meeting someone new, maybe some people (like me) have to start out that way at the beginning. This is definitely how nice guys finish last. I read about it, and basically I just have to play it cool.
That's what I've been doing recently, which is pace myself and not come off too pushy or desperate. That means taking my time to get to know the person. The difficult part is that she's obviously talking to others, so some guys can seal the deal quicker.
I've been first may times and leave it for others to get sloppy 2nds
, so I could care less as long as she doesn't have VD or some other crazy sh*t or baggage when my turn comes around haha.
