TLDR: I made a very rookie needy mistake about the time I sent a date conformation text that lead to a chick ghosting on me bad. I feel like a needy creep and I’m very embarrassed about it, I feel like putting my head down and staying in the house avoiding any type of dating. It’s so embarrassing that I know even my younger self would have never done such a thing. I’m wondering how I could get rid of this creepy needy feeling I have now, I feel like a creepy lame now, and if I should just take a break from women.

Full Story:
I thought about what I did and I sent a kind of needy text about a date confirmation , this is why it’s bad to like a girl too much or have emotions! You slip up and won’t realize it until after! I even thought the text out for a while before I sent it, then after I sent it, I said crap! That was so needy!

I think it all came down on how confident I felt about the girl liking me, and that overpowered any rational thoughts.

Let’s just say it didn’t end well and the text itself wasn’t extremely needy, the timing was very off and I should have waited.

Ended letting my emotions getting the best of me, texting at a very bad time, I think to myself why the fuck would I text that? When before I texted it I thought it was a good text.

I’m sure she showed her friends and everything and my pics too because this was online dating. I’m so embarrassed, and this chick is younger than me.

I was doing everything right until that very point, now I feel like a needy creep.

This never happened to me before and I think that my younger self would never do such a thing as texting at such a wrong time.

So right now I’m so embarrassed with myself I don’t even want to go outside for feeling like such a needy creep. It’s like a vibe I feel around me now after doing that, I feel like that is who I am now and I don’t want to talk to women at all because the feeling of embarrassment still lingers.

This is a new experience for me, so please bear with me, it’s such a rookie childish mistake that made me look very low value in my eyes, especially being older.

Is there anyway to get over this foolish mistake relatively quickly ? I took a break and haven’t talked to any women all week even though I’m still getting matches, and even women who I talked to before this mishap I stopped talking to. I just went ghost.

Should I just forget it and move on? Or should I just take a short break? And for how long?

just be fucking grateful that you can experience beautiful feelings of love, getting hurt and embarrasing yourself are parts of it. it all gives life value

and can we please get the actual texts instead of "I made such a mistake guys, I am such a rookie guys" times 10

I don’t like including text because I’m paranoid somehow it will get found out. What I texted her wasn’t important, it’s the fact I did because I could have honestly waited. I shouldn’t have texted her at all at that time tbh, it was just a bad time. I realize now that it’s all my fault, lost a girl I really liked being an emotional needy bitch, now I’m embarrassed with myself.

commit sony playstation for bringing dishonor to your family.

for real this is the thought that helps me:
act your level
you are novice, act like one, accept it.
be better, sure, level up and train, sure, but fucking chill while doing it

if your were high level you wouldn't write her so quickly because you'd be fucking other new girl
but now just accept who you are

and..

wait for it...

DAYGAME!!!

Get comfortable with the fact that it won't be your last time fucking up. You will embarrass yourself over and over. It's part of life. No need to take a break from game (or anything really) because of embarrassing moments. Learn to laugh at them instead.

Fighting that Cringy feeling is one of the hardest parts of being self-confident.

When that comes on I tell myself...."Hey you were going after what you wanted. Din't go the way you wanted but that's ok. I OWN my actions, and I'm not going to apologize "
