I'd thought she was hot since the seventh grade and only now in our thirties did I find the courage to ask if she'd like to get coffee.
She said yes and asked for my #
I think that means she's not going to call but at least I finally got it over with.

That's sweet! I see a Spring wedding! (OK, I know I'm getting a little carried away, but I'm a romantic at heart.)

I don't drink coffee....but, if I was in a position to ask a woman on a date, I might ask her if she'd like to go for "coffee."
The way you put the word "coffee" in quotes makes me think of stuff beyond actually having coffee.

Oh great, my favorite beverage, at times a primary factor of my blood chemistry is a double entendre.
Enough thinking for me, I have errands.

Got shot down when we next spoke.
Don't care much as I would have previously.
I got a good look at just why she's still single and while the beauty she's been skating by on fade and her life stagnates further than it already has mine is on track to keep getting better.
My working hard has just started to pay off this last year and Im never going back.

It's honest, though.
I can relate to this. I once reconnected with an old gf from jr. high. I didn't have any high hopes and was already IAR, but just wanted to catch up since 1) I genuinely cared about her on several levels, not just romantic, and 2) this was a person I cared about who seemed always at odds with circumstances. I'd just finished college and needed a break, and working with her would have given me an edge. But I was also dealing with an emotionally unstable, flaky person, of which I was well aware, and I was HOPING my instincts were wrong when it came to her, that maybe time would have healed wounds and maybe she'd have gotten it together.
Alas, we couldn't make a deal, and I've been working in a creative vacuum ever since...
My point is it's useless to get hung up on old flames or crushes. You can't redeem the unredeemable. You can't really pick up where you left off. And people generally tend to suck.
All you can do about it is improve yourself and the way you relate to others. I'm proud of the OP for at least TRYING. This is one in a long string of rejections. Hang in there for the long haul, because if you managed to get this far, you'll eventually win out in the end.

Maybe it's true, maybe he's butthurt, we don't know. But there are definitely worse ways to take it than whining on an internet forum.

Ah well, I suppose it could be true. I'd just hate for anyone to turn round and say that about me after getting to know me. I felt hurt for her.
I feel hurt for the Op too. It's dissapointing to find out someone you thought was a good soul actually isn't. I've had friends like that who turned out not to be friends. I was thinking about one of those women this morning and decided I should revisit this thread and give the op the benefit of the doubt.

Most of the time my responses favor the OP. The underlying assumption is the OP is being truthful and objective. I understand this doesn't always reflext reality, but I have to go with the information available at the moment. I can always change my position later as more details come out. I prefer only seeing the best of others and not assuming the worst unless forced to do otherwise.
