Met a girl this past Thursday at a local bar, same age as me. She admitted to me she was on a rebound and she and I were talking for awhile and things seemed to be going well until I asked for her number and she flat out rejected me

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

Sounds more like she used that rebound line to get attention and rejected you just for fun. Fell right into her trap.

I agree. But I also don't believe in that whole "game" B.S. If you think of it as a game, then you get what you deserve imo.

Well, whether or not people have "game" is questionable. However, I do believe that picking picking people up in the bar scene is a game by it's very nature.

When you learned of her situation had you not sent your hopes into the stratosphere your plumment wouldn't have been as far.

Not every woman on the rebound feels compelled to be in the arms of the next man she meets. Few women are naive enough not to know there are men out there eager to take advantage of their situations. You don't 'get' a girl. You build a friendship based on mutualities like compatible interests and worldviews, trust, and trustworthiness. It' s only a 'game' to a player.

Women/girls on the rebound have to be approached way differently. They do not want commitment, yet. Best to play on spontaneity like some shots.

She might not have been interested from the beginning and the whole rebound excuse is good for softening the blow in case the guy asks for your number/asks you out.

Or, if the rebound thing is true, you need to know that those in rebound are very unpredictable, even to themselves. You have to keep it really light. But, why do you want to date a rebound anyway? Just looking for. . . you know?

Why would you assume that someone just out of a relationship wants anything to do with you? Has nothing to do with "game".
