Your Strikeout Stories - Let's hear them.

Make me feel better about myself. Tell me when, how, and why you failed asking a girl out.

Mine today wasn't as much of a failure as it was a missed opportunity, which to me makes it even worse. - If I tried and failed, whatever. But this time I didn't even try. - What makes it horrible is I found out that I would have succeeded.

It's rare I find a chick that intimidates me or makes me feel like I have absolutely no chance, but this gorgeous chick just started working at my salon, and today was maybe the third time I've seen her. The first time was only briefly, and the second time consisted of me sitting in the chair getting a haircut and taking every opportunity to drool over her. (Her legs are INCREDIBLE). - Anyways, I'm sitting in the chair today waiting for the dude that cuts my hair to finish with another client. The chick is in her section just a few feet from me, but instead of trying to talk to her, I'm skimming through a magazine. I knew exactly what to say, but didn't...A few minutes later, she leaves, and as I'm hopping in the chair to get my haircut, my hair dresser says, "Dude, you know she thinks you're cute right? She told me last time you were in here." - I go, "What the f*ck, bro?! You tell me now?!"

So now I have to wait an entire haircut cycle, and there is no guarantee she'll even be there that day. - I hear she's getting homesick (from San Diego) and is considering moving back. She may be gone.

:puppy_dog_eyes:

Why is the stress always put on the MEN to do the talking right off the bat? For once I want to be able to not talk and say to myself, "She missed HER chance." and not even think twice about it. Sometimes I just get sick of trying to strike up conversations.

Ugh, I'm pissed.
 
Sometimes it's good to play hard to get.

I liked some girl all throughout high school, but she was always a friend, like one of the guys. Come to find out a few years later, she had a crush on me too. Things may have been different had I gone for it, but I had it made up in my mind that she wasn't interested.

I say if you have a gut feeling, you might as well act on it. Rejection is better than regret IMO -- "What could have been"

The mates of mine who always scored the most tailpipe were always the one's who hit on everything that walked by and didn't give a **** about striking out and weren't phased by rejection.

This has always been my mentality, but I've tried flirting with so many girls this week, and none of them were intelligent enough to pick up on the dry humor, so I just kind of got sick of doing it and wanted a couple days break from worrying about chicks. Then this happens to me and I feel like crap...I mean, this girl is beautiful. Physically, everything I want. I don't know what her personality is like, but she seems very sweet.

So why do you have to wait a hair cut cycle?? I missed that part...Go in and ask the girl out, if you wait and she's not there, shame on you, go for it................you never know :)

Pretty much every woman for the last 21 years because I have a ring, lol.

Just go in there and ask her out?! Are you kidding me?! - I'd have to either be on something, or be feeling REALLY good that day. - I actually have a whole bunch of family coming down in a few weeks, and I know there will be lots of pictures, so I'll probably go back to the salon and get a touch up on my hair and an eyebrow wax, so I only have to wait a couple weeks for that. - Plus, she's got a second job and I know where at, so maybe I'll stroll in the other place. It's a better atmosphere for asking a chick out.
 
Did something of the same as you Irish. Was waiting for the bus yesterday and this pretty attractive blond was standing there too. Me being pretty bored, says "freaking buses take forever at this hour eh, where are you going?", she replied and we struck up a conversation. We talked for the 25 minutes that the bus took to come, and then on the bus as well. I had wanted to ask her for her number the entire time, but just froze up every time. So i walked off the bus when it was my stop with the promise of seeing her again soon. Fast forward about a week, and she is waiting at the same bus stop, I walk upto her and say hi again. We chat, and she tells me about how she doesn't know very many people and just wants to meet someone, then looks me in the eye. A DEAD GIVE AWAY. What did I say? I mumbled something about oo that sucks. I walked off the bus at my stop shaking my head at myself. I turned around to look as the bus went by and she smiled and waved happily. Made it even worse.

Mind you there is some context here. I just got through the worst break up of my life that dragged on for two months. Effectively i got my heart smashed to pieces three times, and I promised myself I wouldn't go past just talking to girls until the new year, so that I didn't do what my ex did to me to anyone else. But I still can't help but wonder what it would be like to just say **** it. lol Anyhow, enough with the sob story, but yeah. STRIKEOUT.
 
Ya, that sucks man. It sounds like it's not rare to see her, so maybe next time?

If I screw up, it takes until the next chick for me to get over it. I may have to go to the grocery store and ask out one of the good looking cashiers just to make myself feel better. - Honestly, the ball is kind of in her court right now. The dude that cuts my hair said he'd try to set something up. They have my number there, and she knows my full name...I only know her first name, and definitely don't have her number. Either she will contact me somehow, or I'll wait until next time I'm in there. - And, even if she moves back to San Diego, not all is lost. That is actually one of the first cities I plan on hitting when I travel the West coast within the year.

While I don't wax my eyebrows, I do go to a salon to get my hair cut. So I would say nope.

The only time I get my eyebrows waxed is when I know I'm going to be in a lot of photos. Why not look my best? I normally just pluck them myself. I would have a unibrow if I didn't.

Ya, big woop, wanna fight about it? :p

I thought we have passed the point where a guy can take care of himself and not be called a homo. Was I mistaken?

Goodness ask her out all she can do is say no, go to either job and just do it, you live ONCE, if this girl is something special ( and sounds like she might be, well sounds like you like her) stroll in and just be you......:) My advice,
So do it, stroll in look cute, smile appear confident ask her out and when you leave than you can crap your pants.....:) Kidding.,..

Good luck :)

You being a homo or not has nothing to do with your eyebrows. Whether or not you ask her out has everything to do with it.

Don't be a bitch - ask her out buddy!

You can buy us all a beer later.

haha!

I just don't know what it is with me lately. I used to be very upfront and approaching with women, but recently I've backed off a bit. I feel like I'm currently very pressured with work and school, and I think that has really put a damper on how I respond with females. I've got so much other stuff on my mind these days.

It's almost like a sport. If you don't keep up with it, you lose some of your skills, and takes practice to pick them up again.

This thread isn't serving the purpose I meant for it to. I know plenty of you guys or girls have some stories...TELL THEM! This was supposed to be fun, not a dog on IC thread. Believe it or not, I know how to handle women, but this is one time I let myself down, and I decided to share. Sheesh!
 
Ok, fine here's a good one,

About 7 years ago I was on a powerlifting team, did a few comps in the area, was close with the guys/girls on the team, I worked out at a powerhouse gym, I kept seeing this guy, cute, seemed friendly would always be doing legs on my leg day, one day I was doing lunges, I had the bar on my back with a 45 on each side, lunging out in the back parking lot of the gym, and when I was done I puked, out walks this guy, I'm leaning over puking out my guts, and he just smiles and says...."wow your like a dude, that's awesome"....well after that comment I never told him i thought he was cute, but he would spot me when I squated, or benched, he became a friend...........
Of course as a friend I learned alot about him that I didnt like, so I guess it kind of worked out in the end, he was engaged, dating some other girl, so I was fine with being one of the guys..............

Back in 1996 a few friends and I decided to go out to eat at a Boston Market. This hot ass waitress was working and three of my friends tried to get her number and failed
. I was in a camoflage cast with a broke wrist and couldn't bring myself to try and fail like my friends... About two years later my (ex)wife and I went intoa lawyer's office to finalize a home
loan and the chubby waitress friend was working as a secretary. I asked if she worked at BM and went on about this story(yeah this girl was that hot) and she comes back about how she kept waiting for the guy in a cast to ask her but he never did.
I asked how she was doing and she was in college to be a lawyer. One small decision changed the course of my life for the next twelve years! Get your ass back in there and talk to this woman!!!

I know how that is, man. Sometimes you're just not feeling it due to whatever reason. Oh well. At least you know where she gets her meds. :lol: - You should have said something like, "Just picking up some crazy pills, how about you?" - If you said that, and she responded, "Valtrex." then you may be better off without her. lol
 
the ultimate strike out is the "afterwards pep talk" from the girl....

Your an amazing guy....
You will make someone very lucky....
You have amazing qualities....
blah blah blah blah...


I always want to say "Then WTF is your problem?"

I have gotten that so many times I have lost count.

I have a strikeout and a possible missed opportunity(but its weird).

The first was this girl who was a buddy of mine's sister, and we all kinda hang together every now and then. It was about nine months ago.
She looked like one of those twins.... Tia and Tamara I think... one of them plays on "The Game".
Anyway we went out several of times. And from the conversation it looked like
things were warming up. One night we are at my place and she starts getting aggressive. To the point of ripping my shirt off. I get to the point of being about to taste the melons and she pulls back. Then she pretty much tells me that no guy has ever treated her as nice etc.....all this nicey nice drivel.
Then she says that I deserve better than her and that she would prefer to be 'friends". Then I drive her home. I am totally confused.
Wondering what stupid thing I could have done to knock myself out of that guaranteed fun time. I waited about a week and then called to see what was up.
Phone is disconnected. So I was really confused. Called my buddy and he said she came home, packed her stuff, hugged him and left. No explanation.

There is this girl at work. Gorgeous. Have worked with her about a year now. When having conversations about relationships in general she says she's engaged. Yet lately she seems to either play flirt with me or always tease me about something. In public I can easily get shot down no problem.
But I'm kind of nervous about being shot down buy a chick I have to see every day. I'd get over it, but she's sorta on the same team as I am.
