Tomassi is a really good resource for you because he seems to be right about where you're at in terms of awareness and interest.
Quote:At the time, I actually thought she was reluctant about the double date and thought she wanted me to come so it would be awkward and the guys wouldn't bother her much...
Classic female fake victim-hood. "Poor me, I have to go on this terrible date." No, she doesn't. Are they there with guns threatening to kill her pets if she doesn't go to lunch with them?
The only appropriate response I can imagine to this, since it's already on the table that you're banging other people:
"This sounds like a waste of your time and mine. Why don't you bring your friend by my place after work and we'll have drinks instead?"
Quote:What kind of a person would do this to someone? Out of all the things said in this entire thread so far I can't believe it would be in a woman's nature to have this small of an amount of empathy. You really think women naturally take advantage of guys who are depressed because they can manipulate them more?
They don't see it that way, and not all women are this extreme of a case, but women want the men who other men want to be and who other women want to bang. We all have problems. However, don't show her your problems. Your problems do not make her wet. Be wary of solving her problems, too, because she'll just start blaming you for failing to solve all her other problems.
I do think there was something particularly wrong with this woman, but almost all women will take as much as you're willing to give, regardless of her feelings for you, and rarely wonder if they took more from you than they were worth. That math just never happens for them. They will typically assume that you are giving everything you have to them
because they are amazing. This is the opposite of what the man will typically assume, that because he is giving her so much, she will want to work hard to be amazing in return. Read Tomassi on these points.

Quote:But I'm not so sure what it would do.
Literally nothing. She'll just show the black chick at work and they'll agree with each other on reasons why this isn't her fault.
Quote:Any advice on what I should do if I ever run into her at a grocery store or see her in traffic? Just ignore her?
See my earlier post. Women get paid in attention.
Yes, you should ignore her. Even if you're spewing hatred at her, you're still paying attention to her. If she starts crying and gets to play the victim card over how mean you are, now she's the star of her own personal show. Never bothering with her ass again is a horrible punishment, and it will probably prompt her to try to send a message to restart with you at some point just to prove to herself that she can.
Maybe reply with "who is this?"
