So, my and my roommate are single, early-mid 20's guys and are somewhat newly single. Both of us have left our lives of relationships and all the troubles that come with them behind us with all of our crazy ex's and now we have begun to frequent the bar scene for the last couple months.
(We strongly believe) We are physically and mentally attractive, successful, funny, and know that we have money. Now while we are at the bars, we do the eye contact game, trying to see if were catching the eyes of the fairer sex.We make conversation with random people while at the bar waiting for another round, or outside having a smoke. We are very outgoing a bit goofy and have been making a large amount of friends on our journeys.
However, the girls are another story. If we do the same thing to (what seems like) single girls, they make small-talk, laugh, light touching, and all the other good signs of being interested, We chat for a while, numbers are exchanged, and we go our separate ways for the evening (so as not to be too aggressive).
We hear nothing from them if texted, or no answer if called...
WTF?
Did i forget a step to this dating thing? Is this some elaborate hoax that the entire female human population knows to pull on us?
Why does all the fun and games end at the bar?
