Wow. That's really too bad. At least you tried, but still... it just goes to show how women should be up front if they don't want to give out their number.

I mean, I'm speculating that's what she was mad about. What else could it be?

How Long did it take to call?

And most importantly how was your manner when talking to her mum?..... When she picked the phone up did you at all sound disappointed or slightly angry that it wasn't her?

I'm not saying you were rude or not polite but even the slightest thing and her mum would pick up on it.

Well, yeah, she's probably annoyed and feels awkward that you followed up and contacted her. She probably didn't mind being on a friendly basis with you, but wasn't interested in you as a potential dating partner. Oh well. It happens.

agreed. I don't know of a man that wouldn't be ok with a girl expressing interest and wanting to exchange contact info.

That probably would have made his day.

This is something I've never gotten over. This was 13 yrs ago. I've asked out 1 woman since then. We went to lunch together a couple of times before I had asked her for a real date. It's possible she had a bf, although she never talked about him. She had a kid.

One situation that I really wasn't happy with for a while, happened back in August 2008. Must have been August 18th to be exact, as I clearly remember it being the day after my girlfriend and myself's anniversary, which was August 17th. It had been our 5 year anniversary. We went to the movies (forget what we even saw) and I was walking to restroom and I walked right past this really beautiful girl, who locked eyes with me in a way no girl had before this. At least not just in passing somewhere. I kept wanting to take my eyes off of her but I couldn't. And she gave me this huge smile and as we passed, she continued to turn her head. I did up to a point, then figured "I have a girlfriend, I'm not breaking my neck to look at this girl"

The part that sucks was that later on that night, my girlfriend was mad about something and said she didn't wanna be with me anymore. Me not getting her an anniversary gift was one of them things she was upset about. Despite us never exchanging anniversary gifts, she felt that I should have cared more because it was our fifth anniversary as a couple. We talked things over and made up and everything was fine, until she broke up with me less than 4 months later.

I always thought back to that girl I had that encounter with. I still to this day am not sure if I've had such an encounter. I've had girls look at me but never in the way like it was that day, at least not in passing. Let me stress that I did not wanna cheat on my girlfriend or leave her for this girl, but I was feeling annoyed after we broke up and never getting to even talk to that girl.

Yes. I met a girl at a club. We danced. She was charming, witty, a great dancer, and also lovely, but i was somewhere else in my mind and body. I left the club shortly after we danced. Once i had worked through what was bothering me (it took a while), i went back to the club, hoping to find her, actually.

And there she was at the bar, smiling at me! We were inseparable until she finished her studies later in the year and returned to her home in Scotland. We wrote back and forth for a while. I never saw her again, but I still have a picture of Katy and a lot of sweet memories.

I vowed never to let this happen again. And I didn't.
