I, as a nofapper have begun to discover the merits of TRP and wanted to show my appreciation.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the previous post guys.

Long story short, I was being bitch.

TL;DR: I was invited to a dance by someone who did not intend for me to be her date. Was initially embarrassed but danced and had a good time anyway.

Here is how it went down:

Girl xyz asked me to attend dance hosted by her sorority. (I accepted).

I thought she was interested in me.

I called her a week later and said I was interested in her. (She said the feeling was not mutual).

This turned out to be moot because she began dating another of my friends a few days later. (He is a cool dude, I have no problem with this).

Fast forward to the dance:

Girl xyz texts me to ask if I still wanted to go. (I'm over the whole thing and just want a night out). I reply "yes".

I show up on time.... She is not there. I know nobody. Everyone asks who my date is after I introduce myself. I say its girl xyz. I've made it a point to be unperturbed by these things so I mingled anyway.

Girl xyz shows up an hour and a half late with her boyfriend. This just got super awkward for me. I was not told I'd be going solo. (Shame and fear begin to wash over me).

There was to be sessions of "ballroom" dancing so I'd need a partner.

I had the urge to leave but my commitment to maintain my IDGAF nerves was resolute. I showed up to dance and I was not to be denied.

I asked the nearest unmatched girl shorter than me to dance (I can't spin a girl taller than me). She says she is a lesbian and begins making out with a butch girl in a pant-suit... I was convinced... I then walked over to the corner of not-so-cute girls without dates. I picked one out and said "you are dancing with me."

I danced my ass off with this chick for the next 2.5 hours. She was talkative and seemed into me. I wasn't into her and didn't try to get a number.

Conclusion:

I know I can handle awkward.

I will never associate with girl xyz again.

I exercised my right to be the selector and not the selected.

A few months ago, I would have gone home after girl xyz showed up with her boyfriend and felt sorry for myself.

That is not me anymore.
