| | Cassie turned me down, citing her upcoming application to law school as the primary reason. Then the unthinkable happened twice. First I met a girl I seemed to have even more in common with than Cassie. Then, three days later, after a lot of conversation, said girl decided to feed me the line I've grown so accustomed to, and this girl didn't even give me a chance to let her know I was interested: "I'm not looking to date anyone right now."
She didn't even have a good reason, like recent abusive relationships or moving to another city or anything; best she could come up with is that she doesn't think she's mentally suited for relationships right now, and her reasoning was that short conversations through online dating have just never seemed to provide enough of a connection to get her interested. Here's the kicker: if I'd said hello three days earlier, I'd have asked her out for coffee before she could have given up completely. Three days later, and I would have seen a profile that said "not looking to date" and moved on, thinking nothing of it. I just had to say hello right in that tiny little window that would get me hurt.
Three days from first hello to no thanks - that's a record, folks. Stay tuned, maybe I can get it down to a rejection a day by Easter.
