Most especially if you post on the wrong thread :LOL:
Dude, really? I am not a monster, lol.
Karen on the other hand, will dress you down in a split second

Adding context, a quick 10 minute edit for that meme.

So I wanted to go hit up Kusatsu and my current place in Tokyo is booked until Thursday. Checking prices for ryokan in Kusatsu made me realise that staying on the weekends is just too expensive, so I decided to stay in Tokyo until next Monday and then go to Kusatsu then. Booked a cheap Airbnb "near Asakusa". Upon reservation, I go check the address on Google maps and...it is literally right next door to Dolce.

Lol, so any visits planned? 🤣
 
I was not planning on it because I think the deathgrip situation is not resolved yet, so money would be rather wasted. That being said, I will be travelling with friends for 3 weeks during February and I will probably not wank it a single time so that should fix that "problem" and after that, I will most certainly hit up Dolce...

That seems like a sign.
 
Follow-up: jeez, these touts don't even care if you are hauling a suitcase around! Got talked to by two guys on my way to my airbnb, gonna be difficult not to go to any soaplands in these next five days...
 
Of course, I ignore them as is, even more so when lugging my damn 25kg suitcase about...
 
No income maaaaaaate.

Also, I think the one friend I made over HelloTalk has blocked me on LINE for god knows what reason. 4 days with no response is very unusual and now I feel sad.
 
2023 off to to a banging start. Not the good kind of "banging". Holy shit, I am going to recount this story which started yesterday. Warning: extreme cringe ahead.

So, my last accommodation was in Nakano, about 10 minutes off Nakano Broadway. Since the past 3 days have been just slow as hell, people flocking everywhere and me being tired as fuck, I just walked up to mentioned broadway because I had nothing better to do. Just wanted to eat something and then do...fuck if I know! I usually get super annoyed on days like that because I am too lazy to find a good place to eat and usually end up with Maccas or some shit but I had that just last week so I was standing around, scrolling through my phone, looking for restaurants that were open. Then I look up and spot this girl. A fellow foreigner, more importantly - a fellow anime bum because she had some anime idols on her bag. I thought to myself "Oh shit, I should definitely talk to her."

Decided not to because she went into a Lotteria and I didn't wanna be weird, so I just went ahead and checked some of the weeb stores (mainly Mandarake) further ahead, thinking "Fuck, if only I had been quicker!". About an hour of browsing later, this girl is in the same store as I am. NOW this is DEFINITELY where I should talk to her, what are the goddamn chances?! No, I fucking didn't because something in my brain told me not to and I spent yesterday moping around because at the very least, I could've made a fellow otaku friend just like half a year ago in Sapporo.

Anyway, wake up today, need to switch locations, somewhere between Ueno and Akiba. Decide to go to the latter to waste time until check-in. Check some stores, eat some curry, go to Atre and boom - THIS GIRL IS THERE. I get minor PTSD but tell myself "Fuck it, ain't missing again." and walk up to her because she appeared to be looking for something.

Don't exactly remember what the fuck I said, something like "Hey, looking for something specific?" (kill me #1, what am I? Staff at a shop?). She didn't seem to fussed, just said "Uh, not really, just waiting for my friend." No biggie, usually I am pretty relaxed once I actually get to talking, start my sentence with "Ah, I see..." was about to follow up but unfortunately for me, her aforementioned friend walks up RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT. She turns towards her, they greet each other and I just...walk away quietly.

???? What the fuck? That was the most awkward fucking human interaction I had since I was 12. Something in my brain fried the second that friend appeared and that girl turned away. Any other situation and I'd have continued with some bs small talk and then went on my way but nope, just fled the scene like I commited robbery, without saying anything else. Walked out the store, spent the next hour contemplating life and telling myself I ain't ever talking to a human being again.
Dude I have about 100 approaches in my country of birth, while I was a student. SOme in front of my friends, men and women. Some in front of parents of approached girls.

One time I approached this blonde playboy tier bunny at bus stop and as I approached her I kicked the can with my foot and it rattled like crazy. Swear, it was like a sit com moment. Just played it off like "this shit happens when it shouldnt" bla bla and leaned against the pillar. Was no chemistry anyhow but... You gotta embrace the stupidity of the whole thing and sometimes you look suave sometimes girls will like your awkwardness.

Even tho my rate was like 1% or less success to get the date (was still inexperienced in anything past approaching) I at least had the balls to go for it and play off it.

With women the shit that happens doesnt matter as much as how you handle it. You gotta assume a role of someone who is comfortable in any situation. Women feed off your emotions, if you make a regular handshake awkward it will be awkward, but if you push thru like a boss you can do a lot of things and make it seem normal and usual for you. hugs are good example.

Why am I telling this? Because unlike you I have no experience with escorts and that is the thing that makes ME feel a bit nervous. So I am so surprised that a dude who has a lot of lays behind him can get rekt over something stupid like what happened to you.

So yeah dont feel bad about anything except making a big deal out of nothing. Stories I had man... Shiet. Your approach is what I would play in my mind as a pleasant memory compared to some shit I lived thru.

Nobody died wishing they approached less or went slower with girls. We all sometimes puss out too easy or get into catastrophic thinking too soon. Or being butt hurt too soon, or at all. Life is wild, throw a wide net and leave harpooning for when there is something moving there.

Next time if a friend comes just make it an opportunity and meet her as well. Meet everyone. Be life of the fucking moment wherever you are man. Its not what happens, its how you respond.
ALways. Always!

Bonus story: Saw this 2 cute J girls sitting at an event chatting. I come introduce myself "sumimasen chotto nihongo hanashimasu" they smile (like they have a choice hahaha) but we start talking, they turn out to be ballerinas. As Im making my way to meeting them, a Japanese friend I know (another girl) comes up and is all surprised why the fuck am I sitting with her friends. I just play if off language exchange or whatever.
When they said they were ballerinas I blurt "oh so you can lift your leg above your head?" and the minute I heard that exit my mouth - I think nice ahah.... I didnt even think it like that. Im an active dude and into martial arts, lifting etc, so Im genuinely impressed with flexibility since my own is not on that level. But as they smirked I realized what I said hahaha

Shit like that is nothing. Its amusing stuff. You can play everything off if you remain calm. Anyhow, I still see them sometimes, friendly terms.

Point is - there are people who can make anything feel normal, and people who can make anything feel awkward. Its all tied to how comfrotable u feel in the moment.
Polarity + Fun + Self worth + self respect = all you need to succeed in planting that seed.

Like I said to my friend: It doesnt work always, but when something works, it works because of those 4 in right amounts.
