Wow, I saw you got some great feedback from Hassan S. Ali — that’s incredible. You’re my favorite writer on Medium, too! This was actually a very helpful article. Now, onto adddressing my crippling fear of rejection.

But seriously, your point about going to bars is spot on. Majority of my friends are married or live in different states. It’s incredibly hard for me to find people to go out with. It might very well be because I’m an asshole, but I’m not so sure about that.

Anyway, if I could be 1/10 as perceptive with women as I am with clients I’d be golden. But I’m not. Thanks!

BTW — I’ve been in the situation that the guy at the conference was in. He did you a favor by admitting he wasn’t ready.
