Maxwell Smart said:Here's another bit of advice. Believe it or not, ENJOY these times, MS. Seriously. It's much much much more fun that having to deal with ex-gf bulls**t, frustration, broken hearts, sorrow drowning, etc. Enjoy the early levels, because usually, if you actually do wind up with a lot of success, you'll wind up in the s**t. And it sucks more than you can imagine right now. Have fun learning. Seriously.

Maxwell Smart said:I had this idea before, you guys tell me what you think...
Since I don't have very much experience asking girls out, approaching is what I really need to work on first. My main problem is I get too nervous, because I'm afraid of the rejection. I NEED to de-sensitize myself to rejection so I don't get worked up about approaching.
So I figure a way I could do that is by making a goal for myself to get REJECTED by at least ten girls within say a couple of weeks or something. Yes, actually TRY to get rejections. Think of it like having a splinter in your arm, it hurts, you want it out, and you have three options:
1)you can work it out slowly
2)you can do nothing about it
3) or you can jerk it out real quick and get it over with.
I figure if I try to rack up some rejections its like number 3, I'm getting the rejection thing over with so I can move to approaching without fear.
Exactly what I was implying in my other post, but it shouldn't be your primary goal.Erzengel said:Rejection sucks no matter how many times it's happened. The one thing you learn from it is not to care. Dating is sometimes just a numbers game. You just keep asking girls out til one says yes.

rejection your primary goal?
that's easy, you are all ready programed for that.

Maxwell Smart said:Thats the whole point of my strategy, is learning not to care. The only way to do that is to get rejected so you can find out its not all that bad.
I think the point of the exercise went over your head.
You can't do that though, because if you're trying for the rejection, it's not really preparing you for a real rejection. When you do finally stop going for a rejection, you'll care just as much as if you'd never done the whole try for a rejection thing at all.Maxwell Smart said:It wouldn't be, I'd just try for rejections for a couple of weeks so I can go through it a few times, get used to it so I can move on and not worry about them.
Word of advice, don't do that.Maxwell Smart said:Brodie I'm sick of you following me around making snarky comments. I'm going to talk to Dew if you don't stop it.
Erzengel said:And what happens when she says yes you might not know what to do because you expect her to reject you?

Maxwell Smart said:Just go with it? What else could I do?
