i feel like such an idiot...

[weekapaugjz]

<p>ever gotten your hopes up only to have them shot down in flames?</p><p>okay, so heres the story.&nbsp; yesterday morning, i get a call from a girl i used to go to grad school with.&nbsp; we used to go out for drinks with after class and met up a few times.&nbsp; nothing ever materialized because she was always on again off again with a boyfriend.&nbsp; last summer she moved down to baltimore for a teaching job and have lost contact with her since.&nbsp; so i get a call i get this voicemail on my phone and its this girl saying she is going to be in town for a wedding and needs someone to go with because the only person she knows at the wedding was the groom.&nbsp; i say i will go.&nbsp; im thinking the greenlight is up for something to come of the evening, so i spent all last night cleaning my apartment and everything so i don't look like the slob i typically am.&nbsp; get to the wedding, have few drinks, then the a-bomb is dropped.&nbsp; &quot;oh look at my ring, i got engaged on christmas!&quot;&nbsp; WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!&nbsp; hits me completely out of the blue and shoots down my hopes and dreams of anything happening.&nbsp; as should be noted, i am horrible when it comes to women, ive been burned many times and really hate putting myself out there for continual embarrassment.&nbsp; am i an idiot for getting my hopes up like this?&nbsp; everytime i get excited about anything dealing with women, it blows up in my face.&nbsp; fuck i just needed to vent.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Im sorry to hear about that. You arent an idiot, when I was dating I felt that this happened to me enough. I learned that if I dont expect too much, I wont be dissapointed. I know it sounds like a let down or whatever, but only expect shit from yourself, and nobody else. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Im sure she probably didnt intentionally do this...maybe she honestly though you guys were just friends. Did you guys ever have a talk or anything about shit happening? Was here ever more han you just hanging with his particular female? Like any kissing/sex ect.?</p><p>&nbsp;I forget, how old are you?</p>

Brutal weekapagjz.&nbsp; I've dealt with that a lot, im doin grad school too, and its amazing how many girls are married off or just got engaged.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think this happens a lot at our age, i've made checking for rings pretty mandatory and getting that conversation out the way first.&nbsp;&nbsp; No bigs though, I guess you never know if she was willing to forget the whole engagement thing for a night.

jw, we'll need to meet up for a drink sometime budday!

oh, i forgot part of the story from last night.&nbsp; so we are leaving the reception walking to the car, i step on some black ice on the sidewalk, feet go completely out from under me and come down and smash my knee right in front of her.&nbsp; i was so embarrassed.&nbsp; its still swollen and sore this morning.&nbsp; i guess this incident summed up my luck from last night.

<p>I thought you had written Grade school. I was a little concerned.</p><p>When she showed you the ring you should have said &quot;Fuck That! You Deal With Me Now&quot;!!!!!!!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don't feel bad, we all get our hopes up and get crushed. I do it too...yeah, I know...Me!!! Well, not about women but other stuff I do. Just don't let this mess with your 'inter-gender' confidence.</p><p>If it helps; I'd fuck ya.</p>

[weekapaugjz]

i guess the night wasn't a total waste though because i did get a filet mignon, a lot of crown royal, and a bunch of tasty red wine all for free.&nbsp; it was quite a meal...

[Gaia]

<p>I'm telling you. Dont feel like an idiot, and dont expect too much. If there is an air of being aloof, but not a dick, and also of confidence; you will get what you are looking for. Dont give EVERYTHING up right away, keep a girl guessing...it works. </p><p>Oh shit....theres a knock at the door....it's the female patrol, I gotta give up my card for telling you the secrets, thanks. </p>

[angelinad128]

<p>It does suck getting disapointed after getting your hopes up.&nbsp; Gaia&nbsp;is right, don't expect much and you won't be disapointed.&nbsp;</p>

[disneyspy]

as you should
