    I guess I’ll take the friend, maybe she can introduce me to someone I’m more compatible with?

      And as a bonus, you might later ask out someone she knows. If that other gal asks her about you, she’ll have a good report because you respected boundaries she put up.

        Funny enough, the day before she rejected me, she told me a story of how she’s setting up her friend with a guy her friend thinks is cute. But the competition is fierce, I have an average face and below average height and my best qualities take time to get to know.

          A woman worth dating will value a kind, respectful man over one with the best looks or height. I’d honestly see a woman valuing height highly as a red flag lol. Keep your stick on the ice, even if it doesn’t work out you can learn something from every relationship/attempt.

      Having a girl who can attest to your better points and vouch for your having a nonviolent reaction to “no” can go farther than you might imagine with other women.

          Completely serious.

          That probably didn’t help. I ended up dating several people who were very compatible based on connections made by prior interests who didn’t work out.
