her mom really liked me

Is she ? Could that be the end of your problems then? I say let her make you a man!


Also, girls sniff dudes out. They can smell if you get enough. If you do, they'll want in on the action. If you don't, they assume there's something wrong with you and will actively avoid romantic involvement with you.
Within any peer group, girls divide guys into two groups, and two groups only: a - guys all of them want, b - guys none of them want. If you're in group 'b', it's all over unless you can pull some sort of game-changing stunt.
