She thinks she can do better than me?

[Anonymous]

I'm new to dating, so this is probably why it still hurts a little and why this will probably sound a little egotistical. The first girl I ever asked out when on a date with me. But after that she gave me the run around, the "nice" thing, and never told me straight so I ran around for a couple months before realizing it.

Well, aside from the fact that I don't think I did very well for my first time because any girl will basically give a guy a date just to see, I'm still stinging, several months later, about the fact that she believes she could do better than me. It's hard for me to go out there and give it my all and think I'm all that (for my confidence), if in the back of my mind, it lingers that someone doesn't think I'm the best. Get what I'm saying?

How can I resolve this issue?

Everyone is rejected at some point.

And I think you know deep down that not everyone can think you're the best, right? I mean, that's just not logical..

Plus, she went on the date with you.. That's success and should give you more confidence.

I think you just need to be a little more cautious and realize that, as you said, one date does not equal any kind of commitment. I mean, put yourself out there still and ask people out if you want, but try not to get attached quickly.

Your resolve is in you realizing that not everyone is designed for everyone else.

Some matches are good, some aren't.

It's not that she can do better, as in someone who can be measured quantifibly to you, it has to do with a better match to her wants and needs.

All this means is that she's not right for you.

When people break things off, even though they something like this, it still reflects on them. One finger pointing outward, three pointing back.
