Feel my ego has been crushed. Long story short I came off a long dry spell, went on a date, had a connection I haven't felt in years, became vulnerable, "opened up", showed neediness, lost frame, double texted, cringeworthy paragraphs, got ghosted. Just a fucking mess. Didn't even get as far as kissing her.

Did everything right initially and she told me she liked me, but the frame loss and neediness inevitably drew her to ignore me. Still finding it hard to come to terms with the fact I cought feelings, acted like such a bitch and have been ghosted.

No woman has caused me to act in such a pitiful way before, but after that date I felt me and this girl have some kind of spark and began to imagine a future with her. All green flags, cute, incredible body, similar interests, colorful personality.

How do I stop being such a faggot and build back my confidence? I feel like my soul has been ripped out. Not sure how I would deal with running into her on campus either, the shame of my behaviour is too much. Fuck
