Just so happen I ended up meeting a 5 and 3 after her which makes me like a NEW FOOL
Oh, you aren't a NEW fool.

Not that what you're saying is wrong, but it's human nature to compare....

So of course I can't call her now because I already stopped taking her calls. But I'm just kicking myself because I need to stop being so damm picky and shallow.

I know i'm not the only guy who this has happened to?
Hi TVandSportsGuy,

This is why people should meet lots of people. There is nothing wrong with moving on from that girl in January. You need to find out what people are like and what you are like.

One date in 2009 rather confirms that he doesn't have anything much to compare. He starts pulling potential dates apart and nitpicking out the ying yang before he's even physically met them.

One could argue that he's a new fool for the new year... a restructured revamped one with more idiosyncrasies added on every week.

OP, Who would want to go out with someone who showed up on their doorstep one night (after one date, and a slew of unreturned phonecalls a few weeks later) to be told, "I'm really sorry I short-changed you earlier. I really thought I could do better than you.. but after going on another few dates - sheesh, you're better than nothing. Maybe we can work somethin out..."



Of course if you're in your right mind, you WOULDN'T say this directly to her face - but how does it make it any less honest, evident, or right?

It's ok. Things happen. You tried her on, you kept walkin'. You tried a few more on, and now that old hat is looking better than it did at first. There's nothing you can do about it now. That's beside the point, though. The point is, it would only be a matter of time before you found someone that scored higher on your base-value point system, and you'd leave her again. I feel like shaking her hand. She probably won't ever have to endure feeling like your doormat, because she wasn't up to your standards. I still fear for the rest of 'em out there!

Can you try to think of it like shoe shopping? Yes.. I'm a female, but no, I only own like 5 pairs of shoes - but still, the metaphor fits!
You can shop for people like shoes. Try one on, if it's not right - keep going. You've got a whole 2 rows to dig through! - but the closer you get to the end of the row, the more you begin thinking about that second pair in the beginning.. that might work with a little effort or compromise. The only difference between people and shoes are... if you went to go pick up that originally unwanted pair in the beginning, they might just bite ya on the hand and not WANT to go home with you!

Oh fun, just what every girl wants--to be the leftover garbage at the bottom of the bucket after you've picked through everything else.

Quit thinking so highly of yourself. You don't deserve to be anywhere near the likes of a lady.
