I really regretted not asking a girl’s number today. She was perfect. Damn.

Obviously the rational thing to do here is recreate the exact events of the day in question until this girl reappears in front of you. There's like a bazillion holiday movies out there right now showing how to do it.

Ill jump on the bandwagon.

A few years from now you’ll be alone, balding, sitting on your IKEA futon, in your 500 sqft Bed Stuy apartment wondering where that woman is.

You’ll crack open a can of condensed milk, grab your bean burrito from the microwave and ponder if maybe you’d both be in Paris together, or watching a movie. Maybe she was from a rich family with a beach house in the Hamptons, and youd be swimming in a salt-water pool right now. Maybe.

You’ll take another hearty gulp of condensed milk, which is now dribbling into your poorly kept beard, and shake off these thoughts - you’ve got a few Facebook Carousel units to build out for Pepto Bismol and they aren’t going to make themselves.

Annnnd scene.

You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.

well, on the bright side, you’ll remember this event right before you’re trying to fall asleep in seven years regretting it, even though your life will be fine and probably better than you realize.

Do it more often. Get used to it. Don’t fear rejection. Even with un-perfect girls. Because there is no perfect girl. (I’ve met and won the “perfect girl”. She wasn’t.) And it’s all practice anyway. Good luck out there, cowboy.

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.
