I met my first wife when I was 14 but was immediately sent to the “Friendzone” for 5 years. That’s wasn’t fun.
I had “no game” back then. Even my parents knew, and once Christmas they got me a set of weights and a bench. They even hired a fitness instructor (blonde, early 20s, smoking hot) to give me a initial weight training lesson. My parents even LEFT THE HOUSE during said training session, and do you think I could’ve made something happen with this lady I was left alone with? Nope. I had zero game.
I still remember 14 year old me staring at this hot fitness instructor, in my basement, trying to tell her via telepathy someway to “please be forward with me, just touch me, it’s okay!”. Totally lost chance.
