Give up dating for recruiting?
Junior currently recruiting for FT positions in PE.
Dating life has been non-existent and have only seen girls casually for at most a month. I feel that that's worked out very well for me because I've never developed feelings for anyone that I've hooked up with.
Last month, I met this girl and saw her for a week. Spoke with her constantly throughout that time and we met up a couple of times.
I felt like I was really getting attached to her and couldn't focus on work / school / recruiting. Thought this could be a real problem if I continued to see her and messaged her to end things......the conversation didn't go well and I ended up getting blocked.
Felt bad next day and asked to see her, but she basically told me that it is over. It's been a few days and I really miss her, but I feel that it'll get better soon.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Should I enter into a relationship at such an important time in my life? Am I just a coward? Is the sky blue?
A wise man once said: Chase a check, never chase a bitch
couldn't have been that wise if he couldnt spell cheque properly
You sound like a chump thinking your spelling is the only correct way.
"Last month, I met this girl and saw her for a week. Spoke with her constantly throughout that time and we met up a couple of times."
That right there is your problem, you're probably too obsessive. I think you could handle both, but don't get so attached off the bat.
Yeah I agree. Best move would be to hold back and only give her a certain amount of time like maybe weekends or something if you’re super busy. I dated a girl in college and we only saw each other on weekends and it worked out fine and I got mostly As and a FT offer.
Also, girls like it when you limit their time - they only want you more. Just don’t shut the door completely on them.
Facts, she will be all over you if you can't see her during certain times because you're busy working towards your goals. My girl said one of the most attractive things when we first started dating was that I was super busy but still made time for her. Eventually, you'll need to get to the point where you're together every day, but at the start, giving the relationship some physical space does wonders towards her attraction towards you.
That's true man.
It's funny cause I never really got attached to any girl I hooked up with before.
With her, though, it is completely different. I did not find her extremely attractive initially and didn't see a match in terms of personality either. When I tried to break it off, I thought it would be easy to get over her but have never been so wrong before.
But, it's not. Can't stop thinking about her and feel that I'm even worse off than when I was initially seeing her and not working as much. Also important to mention that we'll have to do LD once I move out for my job and I don't want to start something, especially the first time I do so, that might get even more complicated as time goes on due to distance.
Should I try to reach out to her to make things work or just forget about it?
Having a significant other is great when you need support in school or career. Definitely helped me a ton. If you give up dating for career people it will eventually show
lmfao you're a retard bro, wait till you start work FT with no gf then see how you feel
i'm so fucking glad i found my gf before FT started - would kms otherwise
Yes
Yes, unless you find a like-minded one. My friend's gf did his assignments for him throughout high school and university. Even did his pyschometric assessments when applying for summers (UK).
She sounds like an absolute queen
your friend is actually incredibly lucky. I'm guessing he must have been way more attractive than her, because 99% of women would not do anything close to do this for other guys.
Homie is probably packing a HAMMER
He can definitely do better now, she used to be cute but has sort of let herself go in the past 1-2 years. But I would still recommend for him to stay with her, the value-add is just too much lol.
Most WSO post title I've ever seen. Do you, king.
Lol a bit of a dramatic title, isn't it? How long will recruiting take, until you're 30? You have so much time to date and sleep around or whatever; having a stable job/career is much more important at your stage of life. You're literally just a Junior, the girls are going nowhere, trust me. And it's tough to date with this pandemic anyway
Learn to handle both bud. Agree with a poster above. You probably are obsessive, something you can work on. But dont let all of this bring you down, date and get that dream job. You got this
To be honest, you're very right. I am extremely obsessive and have always tried to use that to fulfill my goals. What I've ended up with, however, is an unsustainable way of living.
Better to try and fix that sooner rather than later, I guess.
You know what you need to work on, take it from there
Girls > everything
Spoken like a true Equity Simp ahaha
I agree with the above but know that your obsessive nature isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You just need to control it a bit more. I’m the same way. Give me a video game or lego set then I’ll literally not sleep because of it. I was the same way when I met my wife, staying up til 2A and such. It’s not a bad thing per se. I’ve gotten pay bumps at work and such by being obsessed about stuff.
But finding balance is huge. If I just went all in on work, I’d make no time for my wife. The inverse, I’d get fired. I literally mark time on my calendar for nearly everything. If I’m not time boxed, I’ll skip meals just to continue with something.
Its a learning experience though. You’ve got time, don’t sweat it.
what kind of insane hardo shit has this community come to?
next post: putting a permanent chastity belt on to land ASO at KKR.
Kind of worth it though...
If anyone sell chastity belt
Sounds like the opening scene of Social Network. Worked out OK for Lord Lizard Zucc the Meat Smokin' Master
Wtf VP
I did the same mistake...
You should learn from your error and take a better consideration of your relationship with friends, family and girlfriends.
In my opinion you should understand that she left so easily that probably because she wasn't so much interested.
And never forget that there is a lot of other girls, you were just beginning a relationship with her, so you probably idealize too much that girl...
