    You bought her ticket?

    ...

    ... Where the hell do you live? The conservative bible belt?
    Buying her ticket is a bit much, considering you arent even dating. But at least that was chivalrous. Maybe they dont have chivalry in Canada?

    Not in that part. Québec is the bastion of chivalry in North America.

    Eh I don't think you should change the way you act around girls unless you have really bad manners or something. Just be yourself and eventually someone will come to you, and when she does you'll know she's something special and won't be some selfish popularity hungry barbie doll.

    I know how you feel, when I was in high school/middle school I never had a girlfriend and whenever it seemed like I finally would the girl would suddenly change her mind about me or something. Now looking back I'm glad I never had a girlfriend because nobody was mature enough and it would've been a bunch of stupid drama anyway.

    You aren't ready. You don't do something nice or gentlemanly because you'll get something in return. That is no longer being nice or gentlemanly, that is emotional manipulation with an underlying motive. You do it because it is the nice thing to do.

    I may be coming off as a hard-nosed , but that's what you really need. You don't need your ego stroked and a reassuring arm round the shoulder. You need some cold-hard perspective. So do as the Texan said earlier, do the more important things in your life first. Set some goals, set some things you want to achieve. And go after them. As a result you'll gain confidence, self-esteem and you'll find yourself swimming in ladies who are interested in you because you are interesting and driven.

    ... hmmm, lots of self pity going on these days 'round here.

    Look PI, fact of the matter is you're fifteen, and I'm not saying that to talk down to you. I'm saying it, because being a teenager sucks. It's that simple. Your chemical composition is completely askew, chances are you look the worst you will ever look in your entire life, and to top that off girls are starting to look REALLY, REALLY good right about now. Trouble with that is, you've also got the rest of your life to consider. Hooking up with girls, getting laid... that all sounds pretty awesome, except for the fact that girls around your age are also going through something similar to what you are going through. Except they become self-righteous, bipolar-masochists... and they don't get out of that mode until you are well into your early twenties, or actually, sometimes never (come to think of it). So, relax dude; take each day as it comes, focus on school, play TW at nights and on the weekends, be mischievous ... and for the love of god, don't be so serious... there's a certain comedic factor when it comes to courtship.

    again, I didn't say that I expected her to be with me 100% of the time, but she literally spent 0 time with me. if she didn't intend on even speaking to me except to tell me that she didnt want to dance, she shouldn't have ever accepted in the first place.

    I don't do it because i want something in return, it's just natural for me to treat people nicely in general, probably nicer than most people do. really, the only times I ever get mad are if somebody touches me agressively, like pushing, punching, etc. I keep a cool demeanor and treat people well, I treat females especially in high regard on whole, not because I hope to get something, but because its an instinct.

    Take this proselytising elsewhere, like the Backroom for example. This concept of "sin" is most likely not his concept of sin, nor is it my concept of sin.

    I don't do it because i want something in return, it's just natural for me to treat people nicely in general, probably nicer than most people do.
    I don't really think these assumptions are necessary.

    What, for the 20-ish people you know? Stop behaving like you're the only moral person in the world, please. It only puts off more and more people, which is quite counterproductive. There's a lot of good in the world, if you know where to find it.

    you know nothing about the places I attend or the people I know, they are probably far different from your own experiences.
    Correct, however, I do know human beings, and they're not nearly as bad as you describe them to be. And seriously, how much faith are you putting in a bunch of fifteen year olds?
