Got myself extremely hyped up to go on a date with a girl I met who was exactly my type (yes she supports Trump) and seemingly out of my league. Everything seemed to be going very well, she was texting me constantly and trying to make plans with me after I first asked if she wanted to go out.

Then we went on what I thought was a “date” but perhaps wasn’t. After we were done eating she said she was going home about 10 min later.

I don’t know what went wrong and I guess it doesn’t really matter now. But I really feel like shit and idk what to do. My job makes me stressed and sometimes I think about destroying my career rather than showing up for work on Monday. The election has been destroying my positive mindset in every way imaginable. I was so happy when I thought I might be building a relationship with a girl who I felt was a perfect fit for me and thought things might be turning around. Now I feel much worse than before I met her... even feeling worse than when Trump lost the election.

I know this is a bit pathetic but I really don’t know what else to do but ask for advice here. I appreciate any advice you can give me for dealing with this situation. PS no Hillary, I am not suicidal.

Women don’t just go on a one on one dinner / coffee with a guy they hardly know in a friendly way. They have an interest to see if there could be something more there. She definitely viewed it as something beyond friendly.

At any rate the last thing you want to do is seem desperate. Give it a little while and follow up with her. Let her know that you enjoyed having conversations with her via text and maybe some day you could catch up over coffee or something less formal than dinner.

Don’t quit your job. Continue to crush it. Plenty of women out there, but they want employed men.
