It's crazy but unfortunately, what you're describing is exactly why we as men gotta have options
Your whole outlook on dating changes when you're entertaining multiple women. Now when I say "entertaining" I don't mean slanging dikk like an AK-47, what I'm saying is, if you're dating multiple women and talking to multiple women at a time, your whole mindset and how you carry yourself changes.
So you'll be on that date and you be yourself and be charming and be sociable and stuff right? But at the same time in the back of your mind YOU KNOW that if this one ain't feeling you, then you got others in the stash that might, so that alone, subconsciously boosts your own confidence. Confidence that a woman will undoubtedly pick up on, even if she does'nt know what you're confident about.
And so if that 2nd date comes around and the chemistry ain't there it's no biggie because it's like well aight...your loss not mine
And if she does'nt reach out or respond to your additional courting then fukk it and move on...cause then you're putting yourself in a position where you "Can't take a hint" or even worse, where she submits to cowardice and just ghosts you or something.
And BTW, best believe an attractive desirable woman is entertaining multiple dudes, so don't think this is some male machismo shyt.
Trust me I got female friends, they might not be letting all the guys they're "talking to" hit....hell they might not even be honest with me about that (LOL)...but they are most definitely talking to and evaluating multiple dudes
There are too many women on this planet to be hung up on one person, waiting for them to make the obvious choice, ie. YOU
