TL;DR.. I wasn’t careful and allowed myself to get too attached, got maneuvered on, and I defeated myself.
So a few months ago, I inadvertently got involved with this super sexy, super cool nurse. By “inadvertently,” I mean it was just a Tinder fling that I let gradually evolve into more in my head. Not a relationship or anything, I just let myself get too attached by conceding a little ground at a time against my better judgement. Before I realized what had happened, I was already basically pining for her and her attention like a bitch.
What really got her in was she was (barely) the hottest plate I had but I also liked her. She was super into me for the majority of time. She’d hang out, and when we weren’t together she would compliment me and respond right away and all that, even send me a nude or two as she was at the tanning salon or fresh out of the shower or whatever.
Then suddenly she stopped replying all the time. Then she’d opt out of hanging out on our mutual days off. But it was so out of the blue and I really wasn’t all that familiar with her so I didn’t know what it was.
...Yeah I know.
Then as I was re-listening to Rational Male at the gym today, I realized what was happening but I had already let myself get off frame. I contacted her first too many times with no response. I had let myself get too familiar and showed too much interest and bought into that gyno shit.
And just like that I’m sitting at a bar feeling so ashamed. What the fuck was I thinking? Granted, I had just moved to a new city and didn’t know many girls, but really that’s no excuse, I should have accounted for it.
And no I’m not a noob or anything, I’ve been RP for at least 10 years. Just a moment of weakness.
Anyways, just be careful. If you aren’t, sometimes this shit will sneak up on you. We all like to think that we’re mountains, but we’re naturally mountains made of little individual marbles and if you let people take a handful from you every time eventually you’ll be nothing.
But enough of that. I’ve got this hot little Latina from Miami calling me from the end of the bar to play truth or dare with her and her little friends.

I feel like your problem is resolved if you have multiple plates. From your post, it reads like you only have one plate, which to quote many endorsed contributors, one plate is NOT a plate.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
No, I have some close and some scattered all over the state, it’s all good. Just a little ego hit. I was just careless and ended up making her feel like she had me. But in my defense she was A LOT because she wasn’t your “I’m just looking for a relationship” girl, she didn’t give a fuck. Gotta be really on your game with girls like that and I don’t even know if it’s worth it.
Zech4riah 5y ago
It's ok to fall in love...as long as you have a side chick(s) and you put yourself and your mission first.
Sounds like she found a new guy who is willing to commit. You probably managed to send her the message that you are not into a relationship with her and she is only FB. I'd say the number one reason why girls leave RPd guy is because guy won't give a commitment.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
I think she just found another new guy. She’s not looking for a relationship, she’s on the prowl too and those girls require like maximum game. Energy that I don’t want to give to one girl. She’s just kind of a hoe always looking for the next new thing. So it’s whatever
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
Right. Yeah just build that roto or plate collection or whatever you want to call it and don’t get attached.
Honestly the best feeling is just letting go of the whole “possession” thing that we all naturally want to do. Like I don’t look at a girl like I own her, and likewise I let them know that that don’t own me, so our “relationship” or whatever is based on mutual likeness. So we spend time together because we want to, but in order for that to work I have to be on my game and working on myself but so does she. You know? Keeps ya on your toes.
I just fucked up

Yea maybe you were slipping... but TRP can only get you so far. She is her own entity and probably got bored of you/found someone better.. ect. Could be completely out of your control is what I'm saying and wouldn't a true RP'er not be sulking/reflecting about such a thing? Hold your head high, you fked her for a while, onto the next one.

So what would’ve been the best move then? When she stops hitting you up, you stop hitting her up? How would you approach this situation differently besides not getting too attached
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
Yeah, in simple terms. If I could do it again, I would never text her first, or at the very least not made myself so available. I made her a priority, I let her feel like she had me. But what I’m trying to convey is it wasn’t really a conscious thing; I didn’t do anything to preserve myself because I got comfortable so gradually I let her schmooze into my “heart” and all that it implies. Just dumb. Especially because I knew she wasn’t exactly someone to trust.
Just dumb horny guy shit

monsieurhire2 5y ago
It's very interesting to me that you are blaming yourself for her lack of interest, and that you are feeling shame, when you should really just shrug, because that's the way it goes sometimes.
What if she just wasn't that into you, and some other dude came along that she was more into? What does that have to do with you?
You could be a RP master millionaire with chiseled physique and 9 inch dick, and they could still just be not that into you. It happens ALL the time. I'm sure you've had attractive plates that you weren't that into. But this one was the "hottest." It's all subjective at the end of the day. You're feeling guilty because you enjoyed it too much and you "lost" frame. Maybe it was that you were actually developing an interest, but she wasn't. If her interest was mutual, this post wouldn't be up, and you'd both be in hog heaven.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
It’s just my way of taking ownership of where I went wrong. It would be one thing if I was doing all that I could but in my heart of hearts I know I was really slacking.
But to your point I don’t care THAT much. Like I said to another commenter, our paths are bound to cross and I know that I could really fuck with her basically by acting completely disinterested and focused on other girls, which I’m going to do by default, but I honestly don’t really care how she takes it. I’m just completely detached and ready for the next new thing. Win-win

You and me both, brother. Just spent a few nights with this bird from a party and I let myself go way too quickly.
It’s so, so easy to forget about RP when you’re in the midst of the excitement that comes from meeting someone new and getting to know them.
Now that I’ve experienced that, I know how important it is to remember the RP truths, even if it makes hanging out with these girls less fun. Gotta stay vigilant at all times.
traumatix 5y ago
Taking a similar L myself aswell. She was a wicked gal, too. Its hard for me to ignore the fact that I literally think she was perfect. As soon as she started saying that she loved me, it went downhill. Because at that point, I remember how I 'let go' in my head, thinking that it was 'okay now' to get comfortable or something.. Mistake number 1. She definitely got spooked and said she wanted some space, it was going too fast for both of us. THIS is point is where I fucked up and started becoming increasingly attached— EXPONENTIALLY, snowballing into a shit-disaster, resulting in what it is now. Nothing. As I type this I now see that her needing space was also a very important test in the relationship, and I failed it, pathetically. Like straight nosedive into pavement. Embarrassing. Gotta be accountable though. I know Ill get over it eventually, but god damn this blows. Time sure has a way of taking time when you take a bad one (L). It's especially hard when you have nobody to talk to.
Kushtimes 5y ago
I can’t explain how identical my situation is here bro, just got the I need space from the same exact situation. She worded it a little less harsh first time around like “let’s take things slow”. I didn’t get the hint failed the shit out of her shit test and now she needs space. Won’t be making that mistake again. We live and we learn brothers. It does hurt, but hearing posts like these give me solace knowing we have great resources and a like minded group. And to think if we withdrew the first time around they would probably be at our feet right now.

krowitz 5y ago
You didn't fuck up. It has ran its course. It was fun while it lasted, sure. How you go from here is what separates your old blue self, to your RP self.
A lot of people here think attachment is evil, but I caution that if you worry too much about trying not to get too attached, it may take away from the experience. Getting attached is normal, you are still human after all. Not being able to detach when you have to is the problem most of the time.
Lieisnotreal 5y ago
He did fuck up a little.
You can get attached, but you gotta make sure she's madly in love first.
At the very least, you gotta make sure she's more attached.
thesoloronin 5y ago
My sentiments exactly.
I met up with this chick from Scotland the other day and we had a good time, happy endings in my car and all.
But I realised I didn't had enough and I wanted more.
Then one day we agreed to a night date on our mutual day off but then she stood me up.
I did minimal error too tho. She responded pretty instantly to my texts while I gave an hour to a few's window. But still, guess like you said, it ran its course and yeah it was fun while it lasted.
coopdawgX 5y ago
Good response here. You can do everything right and the same outcome can still occur.
Likely what happened is she came across another guy. It happens. The only wrong move after this is letting it consume your time and trying to figure out what went wrong
think_9090909 5y ago
It kind of makes you wonder if there's any point in the 'modern dating' ritual: anything can fall apart at any time, can't really trust any girl, nothing is stable, always having to start from zero again, etc. It really feels like Groundhog Day sometimes.
Now I feel like I'd rather not bother with dating most days and instead just focus on myself and myself only. Maybe I'm getting old...
MilkMoney111 5y ago
I’ve reached that point too man. You play the game, fuck a few bitches, end up actually kinda liking a few, but you know it’ll inevitably fail. You just rinse and repeat. Now that I am older, I really like my space and quiet time. I mean pussy is great, but i don’t need it. Pick up a hobby or something. Work on being a better person. Your time is yours so enjoy it
coopdawgX 5y ago
The key is just staying detached. What I’ve found is that 9/10 times they will pursue you. And when you come across the one that doesn’t you won’t be phased by it because you kept her at an arms length for your own sake
cbxxxx 5y ago
How do you learn to detach?
krowitz 5y ago
like most things, by experiencing it a lot. you can get attached and get hurt again and again until you get sick of it, or by learning through the experience of others.
some would argue that prevention is better than cure, and you can skip learning to detach by not being attached in the first place. to each his own i guess.

True, it's like death. The death of the first person you were close to is very hard. But if you deal with it in a healthy way, the next isn't nearly as hard. Eventually, once you really understand death, it becomes a time of reflectance and personal growth, not a time of sadness and defeat

jamesbond0512 5y ago
Great post.
It's only a reminder to always be on game.
Not necessarily to enter anger phase, It's more of a learning how to deal with your slip ups.
Those emotions will subside but it's what you those slip up moment that defines you.
Are you going to sit down, while being sad and depressed? I doubt it.
Can you express that anger through other forms expressions? You more than likely should.
It can be expressed through art, comedy, as a form of advisory etc . . . or it can be soaked up into the internal growth of progression.
You can soak it up to learn how to become greater.
Setting bigger goals; or attaining those hot little Latinas from Miami.
The point is to always be on game.
A slipped up second in the jungle and your ass can get murked.
Same for the financial game, the sexual game, the mental game.
Make sure you join a game you enjoy and always be a work in progress.
Success is unattainable; It's always in the works.
You might regret not being at the best of your game.

SavvyVolley6 5y ago
Well let me preface by saying that I went the route of trying to be basically the Mr. Perfect 10 and I think I accomplished it. I’ve made a comment similar to this on a more recent post but I had everything going for me. I am a Marine, a lifter, a boxer, I weigh about what you do but I’m 5’11-6ft, I had sun kissed skin, bright white teeth, masculine energy, great sense of style, etc. But I barely got pussy.
Why?
I gave WAY too many fucks. I was so worried about being absolutely perfect that it just made me feel nervous and insecure. And what do we know about men and women? Men think and women FEEL. So whatever bullshit you’ve got going on in your head, she’ll FEEL it.
Once I stopped giving a fuck about all of that extraneous shit, and even getting pussy, girls started popping up everywhere. And what blew my fucking mind was I noticed it online as well, but I didn’t post anything new or change anything; it was almost like they could sense it thru some ulterior channel. Obviously that’s crazy but take it how you will.

I'm in the exact same boat my man. Had the hottest girl I've ever been with begging to fuck me and be with me all the time. Telling me that I made her crave me like no one ever has before. Let me cum in her multiple times and always bought the plan b.
3 months later and she wants nothing to do with me. The only reason I'm not in a deep spiral of depression is because I'm 30 and I've had this happen before. Even still, my brain is playing tricks on me, telling me I'll never have a chick love me this much again or I'll never do better. You just have to fight it off until enough time passes and you move on. Learn from the experience and make the next girl that'll inevitably swoon over you last longer.
I've learned a lot from the 3 months I was with this chick and it's made me mature a bit. It's ok to reflect and learn from it, just don't use it as an excuse to wallow in self pity and despair.

yep it stings more because we have been friends for a long while so I know her really well I know how frequent she really answers back, she even acts pretty red pill herself, knows the game, and is to the point, we never had to do that whole game of charades that people usually have to do when they start to see someone new
I guess thats a reason why I liked the ship, I figured since we both knew the drill, that communicating would be no problem, unlike most girls with that typical bird mentality, she was different, so knowing shes on new behavior, acting like another bird, because of this really hurts, because I never saw her as that
I felt gaslighted for a while and was questioning myself for it, but the reality is shes just simply no different than any other crazy woman. Indecisive, only acts on whims, and manipulative as hell

Hey OP,
How did you manage her in your rotation? It seems that all that was provided and offered to her was sex. Even though women typically are the ones that offer sex after you give her non-sexual attention. Did you do anything to raise her interest and make her emotionally invest more like take her out on dates? IF you fucked her well, that's good. But if you offered her nothing besides sex, then you probably didn't help her maintain interest in you and she became a bit more rationale in determining the relationship between you and her.

First mistake? Getting involved with a nurse. They're nucking futs on the best of days. Fucking nuts on the worst.

They’re my weakness I think

Lol....I’m in registered nursing school right now. They are nuts. Just my type. I just try to be detached and remember there’s typically nothing long term in this life except my children. Even them, eventually.

One day at a time. Just gotta show up.

I have had a similar experience I liked a girl, i came on way to strong then i told her i loved her way too soon, then i said i wouldn’t be friends with her, and now we’re friends again.
Now at this point she never asks me to do something together, i’m always the one that asks her to do something. Which sucks because i knew that their was potential for something between me and her.

Yup same here. Except she's on my couch right now sleeping after not seeing me for two weeks. We had sex late last night but I couldn't cum. She facetimes another guy next to me in bed afterwards and then goes to hang out on the couch by herself. I don't even know anymore. Shits weird.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
What the hell?? I’d show her the door.

I've basically done the same to myself recently. It may be recoverable but the lesson is taken from this post and from my own experience. It's encouraging to see others owning their fuckups. Good post OP.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
Yeah I think if I just fall off and act like she doesn’t exist, that other girls are my focus, she’ll come back around. We’re bound to cross paths because we frequent some of the same places I could really fuck with her if I wanted but honestly I don’t even really care that much anymore. Moving on
HoedownInBrownTown 5y ago
That's it. When you focus on other things, be it girls, work, hobbies, friends etc, maybe she will come back, but the point is you wont CARE whether she does or not because you've found fulfillment elsewhere.

Why are you so sure it's something you did wrong and not that another guy on this sub outgamed you and stole her?
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
I’m not sure at all. In fact, I know it was some other dude that came in at just the right time. But I’m going to own what I could have controlled
ebaymasochist 5y ago
Man that's like getting second place in the Olympics and saying "fuck I got weak and just forgot how to run fast".. no, you were still great, didn't have to make any mistakes, because it's an external factor outside of your control. It's going to the dealership to choose Ferrari vs Lamborghini.. at that level, eventually it comes down to personal preference.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
Yeah I get it but I fucked up. I knew better, I just got lazy

In this racket, you’re never too old to learn something new; in fact, it’s a requisite. It’s like being a black belt. If you don’t stay on that shit, you won’t be a black belt for very long.

You didn’t fuck up. She is just a woman with moody behaviour.
You can contact her again easily with callback humour, just dont be butthurt, angry or some other bullshit.
It’s a subsconcious shit test as well, to see how you react, but if reinitiate contact in a funny way and show some interest she will appreciate it.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
You’re not wrong. I just don’t even want to give her the time of day. I’m over it. She was a good learning tool though. She required a lot game- wise and I can use that experience on girls that aren’t so high maintenance

Weeell you know what they say; we all like to think the fish that got away was the big one :) When in reality, it wasn't.
Plenty of fish still, as your ending suggests.

Happens, my dude. I remember when I let a Tinder date become a bit too serious. I'd never had a relationship before that so it was something that I was struggling with. She stopped texting altogether and when I finally met up with her she didn't even try to hide that she was texting another guy. Hurt me like fucking hell.
It is what it is. Plus you come out stronger and before you realize it, you're over her.

Honestly, thank you so much for the cautious reminder. I have a plate that I was just starting to feel going this direction — granting too much time, hangouts not based around fucking — I literally blew another plate off last night because I’m losing the hunger a bit.
Thank you for the reminder that they’re not special. I tend to slip up and down very harshly. Reality checks like this help.
SavvyVolley6 5y ago
Yeah if you care, you gotta not care. Chicks are ass backwards
zUltimateRedditor 5y ago
Why do girls do this? You would think that they are the ones that need to lock someone down rather then guys.
So bizarre.

There is a nearly endless parade of supplicating blue/purple pill men on Tinder that women can choose from.
