You miss 100% of the chances you don’t take.
Good on anon.
You say that, but now I’ve been electronically tagged for hanging around a train station toilet naming people’s penises.

When all those chances are realistically 0 it doesn’t matter…
Yes, but also chances sometimes are coupled to contra-chances that trigger instead and are scary enough to warrant avoiding the whole thing.
We need to teach young men that it’s okay to be rejected when asking a girl out and not to be so hard on themselves.
And also teach young women that rejection doesn’t mean looking at them with a disgusted look and saying “Ew!!”
tHe WoRsT sHe CaN sAy Is No
No. No it’s not.
Also sometimes you don’t get rejected and instead get dragged into a 6 year long abusive relationship with someone with both borderline and narcissistic personality disorder and you end up with ptsd.
rejections feel nice after that
Sometimes you dodge a bullet and sometimes the bullet dodges you.
Try again. The woman I’ve been with for over a decade originally said no as well.
But don’t think that life is like a 90s romantic comedy and go full stalker.
What I read was OP build all this stress in their head for months.
Then when it reached its breaking point, OP finally did it and then it exploded in their face.
Gonna recommend not doing that.
Even if I didn’t get rejected I would still be paranoid about it being a prank on me, was asked out as a prank at school.
