I was young, forgive me, but this happened.

I went out on one date with a girl, we saw 21 Grams, and I absolutely did not get the vibe that she did not like me. I called her and despite getting her voicemail, and leaving her one, my young mind thought "Oh better leave more just in case". In case of what? Who knows. I probably left her 5 vms in total (I don't remember exactly).

I want to make it clear I did not think I deserved a second date, or that she had any obligation, I just was really immature and didn't understand that one date really means nothing.

She rejected me, but I didn't get it. Not because she wasn't being clear, in fact looking back she was basically hitting me with a baseball bat of truth over my hard steel enforced cranium trying to get it through my thick skull without calling me an idiot (which looking back, she had the full right to do).

Anyway, I'm embarrassed about that, and that moment helped me learn a lot about both how people interact and that sometimes you aren't going to be friends with people you meet, no matter how fun and cool you are. If there are young men reading this: Take a goddamn hint. It's nothing personal.
