Lately I've been gettin to a point where I've gotten to know a girl and we've built a lot of comfort through phone and then I do or say something stupid to screw it up and they'll lose interest in me. This sometimes leads me to sleepless nights because I get way too into the girl. I'd think about what I could have said/done differently and replay the scenarios over and over in my head and then wake up 3am in the morning with the same thoughts in my head. I can obviously feel this taking a toll on my health as my brain is so active in the middle of the night with these thoughts.

I guess part of it is because I see them as HB10's and it's like I'm almost there.. but not there yet. Anyone ever experience something similar? How do you deal with these type of situations when it just doesn't work out and they were your ideal girl?

Do you say these sings to sabotage yourself or do you say them by accident. Even if by accident, do you feel that your subconscious mind makes you say these thing? I can only try and help you if you answer...

I would say it's more by accident. Sometimes my compulsive behavior makes me re-read texts/emails over and over and analyze how I could have wrote it better. I know consciously, this isn't good for me and I would like to become emotionally stronger but I don't know where to start. I've been trying to meditate but too much thought going on in my head sometimes.

It sounds like a bit of oneitis mixed with a bit of anxiety try and Divert and Distract your mind each time you get the sensation or urge to over analise or fear youve embarresed yourself and in time your anxiety or obsessive thoughts will reset back down to a normal level and yes its that simple.
Literally let your minds focus drift from random thoughts to random thoughts not focusing or checking how you feel all the time.
You will also one day not give a fck if a girl is not the right one because the right one wants you too.
PEACE and LOVE.

take a deep breath and step away from the situation for a few mins, there is no perfect girl out there. You didn't lose the ONLY girl left on the world, if you lose one yes it's a bummer because you invested time but don't let it mess up your game.

whenever i have a problem i take a deep breath and think "i've done things so far in life with NO results... lets try the opposite because i've never done that..". For the most part this tactic works to help convince yourself to try something new and kill off old/bad habits.

I have the same problem. Doesn't happen a lot but sometimes when I'm talking to a girl I care a lot for (not a girl i just want to close) this problem arises. The only thing that works for me is to force myself to go do something else for a while, just talking to other people helps a lot. Most of the time you haven't really screwed up too much either, you can mend the relationship over time and make her interested again.

This stuff can get you really depressed, which is not just bad for your game but your health. Talk to other women and stop thinking about her, that's my advice.

Have the same problems... Where I fantasise about the whole process...

This is simply a scarcity problem...

In other words you've got TOO much FUCKING time to sit around thinking shit up.

Always a bad thing. Make sure you've got shit going on in your life to keep yourself occupied... That's the way to go.

Gym, sarging, study...

When you don't have time to think so much this doesn't become such an issue.

ENDORPHINS!!! I joined this site because I just got out of a 10 year relationship (caught wife having affair). Years ago I had good game, but it's been a little rough getting back into it. My head was always thinking about the ex and really getting me down. Then I found endorphins. Nothing will clear the head like a good run or workout. Next time you find yourself over analyzing or focusing too much just get up go for a run or hit the gym. You will be amazed at how it clears the head.

the buzz words are....

behavior modification - improve your self monitoring to take note of when and where you say or do things that are a "turn off'. Then think of what would have been better to say/do instead, and next time try the new thing. This is habit and can take a while to build up.

scarcity mentality - you are afraid that if you don't get one woman, or if you lose one woman, you can't replace her. The truth is you can get another one the same way you got that one.

Delusion - it is easy to fall into a comforting delusion, such as the girl we are dating is something different than what she is, and that you two have a stronger bond than you really do. When this delusion is threatened, it causes anxiety and depression. Better to live in the real world.

--------------------------

All of these things are at least partially effected by talking to women on a regular basis. It is like working out, and its not just for young guys. Older divorced guys have lost these skills also. it is a lot like working out at the gym, there is no replacement for doing the repetitions.

Same thing happens with me OP, especially before I discovered game.
The truth is, there's a lot of information to take in, before you can master the art. I also have a long way to go. I just tell myself, trial and error. Learn from your mistakes, and your getting experience from it.
So basically, in the same position. Figure out where it went wrong, and learn from it.
