Dang, advised a buddy to shoot his shot with a girl in a discord he was into. Apparently as soon as he admitted he had feelings she immediately blocked him and left the server.

Not sure how this guy asked her out, but generally he's a pretty socially competent guy. Not autistic or anything, has been married before and dated a good bit so not an incel type. It's just nuts that ladies by and large can be so neurotic when it comes to getting propositioned. Now his whole status in this server with folks he likes is in question.

Idk, obviously I don't understand the female experience here, but it really strikes me as a lack of maturity to react this way!!!

Anyway to make it fun, what's your best story about getting rejected and/or rejecting someone romantically?

Let this be a lesson for your friend, and anyone reading this, to never ask a woman out on Discord, of all places.

Nah I think it's still the best move to just shoot your shot.

Admirable, but mistaken.

Are you successful with women? Telling you, if you aren't willing to shoot your shot you never get anywhere.

You'll never get anywhere asking girls out on discord.

Maybe, maybe not. But I think @ThomasdelVasto has the right of it here. Assuming that the girl in question isn't someone you know through other means (i.e. you don't have better chances to ask her out), you get the best chances by shooting your shot. I'm not saying you should make Discord your primary means of meeting girls, but you also should take your opportunities when and where you find them.

The broader point here is that if your opportunities are coming from discord you're in trouble.

No, if your only opportunities are coming from Discord then you're in trouble. If it's just one source then you're fine. But either way, that doesn't mean you should disdain the chance to take a shot if it comes up. The guy who has other chances loses nothing by seeing what happens on both fronts. The guy who only has a chance on Discord should cultivate better chances, but still should shoot the best shot he has available to him.
