You can't even play the straight role. Now go play in your sandbox like a good little boy.

I'm sure that scenario is highly unlikely. I don't know too many women who would be emotionally invested enough to be driven to tears by a nasty message from someone they don't even like enough to continue dating......

I don't think it will help you. You have a degree in communications. There was no need for you to react as you did. Rejection hurts--but calling and swearing at someone really shows a lack of maturity, and class on your part. Gay, straight, bi, or whatever, people respond to positive communication. There was nothing wrong with her saying "Good luck in your search". I am sure many of us, who have dated have heard this line. In fact, it is posted allover dating websites. It's a cliche, nothing more. You could have answered back "I wish you good luck as well", in a neutral tone.

In 7th grade, I remember being jealous of the guys that could get girls. I was into a girl that didn't like me. Can you believe it's been 7 years since then and my dating life is no better? You say I'm young, but other people my age and younger have better dating lives.

I'm not as old as TVSG, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm not a ladies man.

She only saw this side of TVSG because of the manner in which she rejected him. If she rejected him more appropriately or accepted, this side of him wouldn't come out.
Just by reading TV's threads, you should have figured out everything not to do by this time. There is some pretty good advice given to these threads, by folks who really do want to see TV or anyone else, having a relationship.

Well dear, you have a number of years to go before you catch up with TVSGs age, so you plenty of time to change your ways before you become completely inept and rejected by all women who cross your path.

Fair enough. But I've been alive for 19 years and I have a bad dating life. Add another 19 years and that makes me 38. Who's to say my dating life will change significantly in 19 years? If 19 years on this planet haven't helped me become a ladies man, how are another 19 years supposed to help?

Then obviously you need to do some self improvement. This doesnt mean necessarily change everthing about your self but learn to like yourself. It's the insecurities that result in behavior like Tv Guy is doing. You arent going to attract a healthy relationship with unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. There isnt a self respecting , confident "has her act together" woman out there that will be attracted to Tv guy right now. He wants it but until he achieves it himself he will either be rejected by the ones that are there or he'll have dysfunctional relationships with the ones that arent.... like him. Until he figures that out and concentrates on improving himself , he'll just be tacking on more baggage and anger towards women that will only make his journey more difficult. Once you achieve this, rejection will not be so hard to take and you can move forward. You have to look within though and stop the blame.

Maybe I should have said-"Thanks for considering me for the position and I hope to be contacted for any future openings."

In many of your threads you give too much credence to being 19, as if that is the age of experience. You need to step back and realize that in the eyes of many people on this forum, you're still a child. You're very sheltered and inexperienced in life in general. Your love life, your adult life aren't over or set in stone, they haven't even started yet. You need to approach life more as "I have a lot to learn" rather than "I'm 19 and jaded because my teen years were awkward."
