So yeah, that's a different apples to oranges, no pun intended, vexed.

I didn't send her a voice note, but the bottom line is I screwed up.

And so it's the recovery that got me the girl, not some cool perfection.

So if a woman likes you, she's not going to ghost you over a small blunder.

She may even find it charming.

The men who succeed in dating aren't the guys who never make mistakes.

The men who succeed are the guys who handle messy, human, flawed moments with honesty and a steady hand.

The recovery is so much more important than the screw up.

Women are noticing how we recover.

They don't care about perfection.

There's no such thing as perfection in dating.

They care about how we bounce back from imperfection.

So if the two of you do end up going on a second date and maybe even beyond becoming a couple or a thing, an item, you're going to laugh about this story.

Potentially for years if you become a couple.

And even if you don't see her again, it's not going to be because of the voice note.

It will be because the two of you just aren't a match.

Maybe you're not a match.

Maybe you are.

I don't know.

Now, if she ends up not seeing you again, that might sting, but you're going to be fine.
