Shot down in a Blaze of Glory

This isn't a true journal entry as much as a follow up to my last. It is thursday, and Last night I had the discussed date with amanda. I now know the basics of the Texas 2-step, but as you can see by my Subject/title, things didn't end as hoped. Yes, it seems I've done it again. I somehow in our short time hanging out have earned the title of

Dude, how many girls have you even been interested in since you stopped dating Kate? Like, 3? If you had even a 1 in 3 success rate you'd be a pimp on par with the likes of Enrique Iglesias or one of those assholes from the OC. Meaning, 1 out of 3 is an exceptional attempts to success ratio. I'd say 1 in 10 is even pretty good, but since you're not averaging 10 a YEAR, every single instance takes on added significance. I'm not saying throw yourself at every vagina in town, just don't take it as a huge ego blow when you don't nail every girl you pursue. People who seem to have a lot of women (like Dave for example) do so because they're out working the bars, going to clubs, parties, places with lots of people and constantly angling for dates. You don't operate on that scale. You just kinda do your thing, occasionally meet a girl through one of your friends, and then put all your eggs in that basket. If you were constantly meeting new people, you wouldn't worry that much if one of them didn't like you, as you'd feel confident there would be 4 more right around the corner. This is not to say you should start being a bar fly, it just means that you should take rejection in context. It happens to everyone, probably more often than not. You also probably shouldn't get so emotionally attached to people you're going to see regularly (ie-friends of friends). Try to pursue the people you brought into your life on your own, that way if it doesn't work out and you're worried about the pain of seeing them frequently, YOU have the control over whether or not they are a recurring part of your life.

I could be full of shit, but I'm probably not. I'm fully qualified to give girl advice as every girl I've ever liked, liked me back. I know this because despite the fact that they showed no interest to me directly, they would always tell Russell, and only Russell, long after they were gone, then Russell would pass this information onto me with the utmost honesty, believability, and candor.

That makes sense, but unfortunatly I don't see myself doing things that differently in the future. So if I luck out and can hit 1 out of 10, I should have another girlfriend in ...oh...6-8 years or so.
Or I could really luick out and get one in a year or two.

by the way, have you ever noticed that the voices are different in the earlier episodes of Fairly Odd Parents? It throws me off sometimes.
