God I'm mortified. Like ripping off a bandaid or being splashed with a bucket of ice water. I'll get over it soon, but for now.. man. Gotta revel in failure and engrave the lesson. Don't mind me.

It's ginger beer and Bacardi for me, actually.
I actually admire you for putting yourself out there. When I was younger and on the market, I let fear dictate my actions. I have a lot of regrets about not expressing interest or feelings I held.
The only lesson here is that you did good. Cheers man 💜
Failure is an essential part of success. I’m still pretty young, but there are many situations where I look back and wish I had taken a risk and allowed myself to fail and learn, instead of not even try.
Keep on failing friend, and I promise you’ll succeed. PV🧡
Honestly, looking back, my failures have been more fruitful for me in the long run than any of my successes have. I honestly think that this is ultimately a net positive. But shit dude it sucks in the short term 😩
I love the maxim: fail small, win big.
To be happy, you must embrace sadness
To win, you must risk losing
To be wealthy, you must be willing to let go of all possessions
To succeed, you must fail
Facts ✌️
Life almost never gives you what you want in the moment you lust for it. Take Bitcoin for instance - there was a time when I only understood Bitcoin as “number go up” technology and just wanted to see it hit 100k.
Life didn’t give me what I wanted, but it gave me what I needed. I needed to understand fundamentals, understand money, technology, economics, and then learn patience, discipline, and conviction. It hurts a bit when you’re living it, but if you make it though, the success becomes so much greater and more fundamentally life changing than had you gotten what you originally wanted.
I have no idea what lessons are in store for you, what your goals are, or where you will end up. But I know that taking risks, putting yourself out there, and pursuing success without being overcome by a fear of failure is the formula for achieving your goals. Your dream girl, your wife, your soulmate, is out there. Godspeed!
I think that the visions of what you hope will be real are what most need to be thwarted by reality. It's the greatest favor you can do for yourself to not remain deluded of falsehoods and illusions.
Number go up Bitcoin was my worldview for a long time too. 100k 2021 was a certainty, it had to be! Asking out someone will be a relationship, it has to be! But reality hits and I always know that the truth is sweeter than any expectation 🙏
keep shooting
No big loss, just keep doing the work. Dust yourself off and hold your head high. Keep building, & growing yourself; level up to the point where you recognize your own level of magnetism and you will notice the shift within yourself. If you don't notice yourself, perhaps you will notice once you realize that others are seeking your attention and acknowledgement. We have to become what we seek, and that's when it finds us.
I hope nostr stays this way forever 🧡 y'all are uplifting af. My despair is short lived, turned around by you fine folk. Also I'm drunk noting ✌️
