I suck at them. No, seriously, I fucking suck at first impressions. I have had feeling for a girl for the longest time but, after my initial rejection I kept my hopes up on sheer nativity. When her best friend is your ex and that ex has told some pretty damning and outrageous lies but, because of the way others see her "she can do no wrong". You know the type that everyone thinks is so innocent that they could kill a dozen people and claim "self defense".
Seeing the chances of ever climbing out of the dreaded "friend zone". I gave up and decided to look for something else. Then I came across this little beauty
She lives in a nearby city, is a year my younger ,from what I know she has ambitions and aspirations for her life. I contacted her and I believe I failed...hard.
Apparently, dating is hard for an Atheist. My first impression abilities are so poor that I rarely get past the initial interaction. Overall, it just sucks or I just suck at dating. Here are a few "reasons" I get shot down 1) "You're an Atheist. I can't date someone like you" 2). They are not interested (understandable) 3). I don't appear to meet their standards. I honestly think some of the women out there expect me to piss wine and shit gold bricks! It's not just her, I have huge problems getting past the first impression with girls. I dated my first girl because she thought my bashful and nervous reactions were cute. The others, lets just say. In hindsight I wouldn't make that mistake again even if I was so shitfaced drunk that my blood was slightly more flammable than napalm.
Since it impossible to properly analyze oneself or analyze one's methods. I have a question for my fellow Fakkuza. How do/did you survive the first impression?
