So the shock wore off. My mind is pretty much clear now. My sister gave me an isolated big sis talk after an intense clowning session. I think she's the only one who caught me lacking.



These hit like daggers. Both assumptions are correct.:mjgrin: Outside of the occasional small talk at birthday/grad parties for our mutuals, it's been cordial but mostly quiet. She's a bit of an introvert, so I didn't think it was a biggie. I've kept my ambitions about her hidden and didn't pry as I should have. In fact, I've been actively actively avoided checking her socials in fear of seeing something that might conflict with my perception of her. IDK, I just sort of assumed it would all work out in my favor. A fluffy, comfy outcome to look forward to. Delusion? Hope? Arrogance? How could she not fall into my arms automatically if I became THAT guy? Right?

My sister pretty much made the same remarks and she set me straight when she told me that the person who I want the woman to be is just a memory, a figment of my imagination. Literally all of it is just in my mind. We might not even mesh well fr.



If I'm keeping it a buck, I probably would have held it off forever for this very reason. I would have been kicking the can for as long as I could, forever chasing perfection and chasing *the right time* so I don't have to take action romantically.




Maybe so, a bit of both, but it made dealing with them easier for sure. I didn't have to emotionally invest or get too worked up about them cause ultimately, they weren't my perceived endgame
I ask cuz I had some weird moments with one of my guy friends. I think he was on something like this, but I assumed he didn’t like me/my personality cuz he literally would barely talk to me. Then randomly one day started talking about the future in a random ass conversation. I was like “:wtf:” cuz he literally would avoid me in mixed company until he just started randomly hitting me with into one day. I was so confused. And he was fine and everything, I just assumed I wasn’t his type because…he never said anything for all those years.

Reddit level ducktales. Even with that being the case, this isn't the 20s or 30s op. Adjust with the times sadly.

Dude, at 23, focus on your career, learn about various methods of investments, by 30's plus, you will be having your pick to settle down. women slow you down from accomplishing goals. Anyways, she is 23, chances are she will be available again at 30 plus, only with a couple kids and a lot more baggage
Listen to this man, OP.

Maybe he was trying to become the perfect guy. Does he consume a lot of media?
