This is the reality for me as a guy. Oh and by the way it wasn't even a flirting situation, I just want a real life friend and they appeared to feel the same.
>You did X wrong though, I know you did
Whatever. The point is at least someone like you has options and the freedom of choice, even if most of them suck. I have to put all my eggs in one basket every single time because I have nothing else and it always results in failure. I've only been able to adapt by becoming more and more numb and accepting of rejection.
