Because she said "yes" you feel better about dating. All it takes is a single yes and things look better for those guys who never hear it.

It took you 4 tries to get it? I've gone through hundreds of "nos" and still don't have a yes yet. That's definitely not "confidence"

Even I am surprised. Usually I have heard guys had to ask out at least 10 women before getting a yes.

I wish you the best of luck! But if it doesn't go well - please don't go back to hating women. Women are just people - just treat her with respect and have a good time.

Getting a yes gives you confidence getting nothing but no's gives you hurt and lack of self esteem and confidence with the opposite sex..

I always thought women who were beautiful were taken. Usually, I am scared to talk to attractive women. But this time, I wasn't afraid. When she said yes, all my cynicism went away. I actually felt...confident. Guys, has this happened to you? Is it normal?
No.

You cannot live by small victories because women are fickle and/or indirect, and could lead you (either on purpose or inadvertently) on and bail at any time.

I have gotten a woman's number after having a good conversation with her at a party and after ten minutes on the phone with her, she wants to get back to watching TV.

I have had a date that went great, laughter throughout and all of a sudden I was ignored when I called her the next day.

Etc, etc.

Women could jump ship at any moment, and chances are they were never interested in that way in the first place. Not to mention these are the ones that actually gave you their phone number. I'm not even counting the ones who flat out reject you.

It's always rejection in my mind until there's physical contact. The best approach in my mind. (P.S. Even then, you could still get dissed, but at least you got a woman).

Having a high success rate gives a man confidence, 100 declines and 1 yes isn't too encouraging.
