My hopes didnt go into the stratosphere, nor did I "plummet" so far

Its just lately I've been on a really bad dry spell and I cannot figure out what is wrong with me lately.

Just curious. How did you ask her for her number? What exactly did she say?

I actually told her that she seemed really sweet (I meant that when I said it, she was a sweetheart up till the end) and that I'd like to meet up with her again for a drink or some lunch

She said "No sorry, but thanks"

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable and friendly exchange. So what is the problem? I know you have had serious problems talking to women in the past, and here you are, having a friendly conversation and even being bold to ask for a date. Bravo. I would put this one in the win column.

Well, I go to Downtown Orlando once a week to go out and have a few drinks (usually only a few since downtown is a 19 mile drive from my house) and I try talking to women like they're real people and I dont make a big deal like I used to. I usually get at least one number per weekend when I go out, but thats usually as far as it goes. At first it was a confidence building exercise for myself

But now Im at a point where some of these women I meet, Id actually like to see them again but when I initiate contact I never hear anything

Perhaps because I dont have a local area code for my cell number? I moved back here to Orlando from Vegas and I still have the 702 Vegas area code instead of the Orlando area code 407

The fact that I havent been with a wman (if you know what I mean) in over 4.5 months is getting to me too and even the "Easy" girls aren't feeling me

Some of the women I've met have even said that I'm "cute" which makes me feel better about myself but still, my looks alone obviously arent enough to get women to like me

I just cant figure out what Im doing wrong

Is my game THAT sucky when I cant even get a girl who's on a rebound?

newsflash: she's not obligated to give you anything, just because you spoke to each other.

You make an excellent point, Im well aware she's not obligated too

Things to me seemed to be going well up to that point and I actually did want to see her again which why I asked for her number

Yes well there could of been any number of reasons why she said no, doesn't mean it had anything to do with you or your 'game' or whatever. *shrugs*

Just because she's on the rebound doesn't mean she has to be into you, or any guy that walks through the door. Maybe just wasn't into you??

Maybe when push came to shove she wasn't really ready to even give out her number?
