Please, Just Let Me Die Already
Lise:
That does suck for ya, abadname, but that won't be your last opportunity to meet another cool girl, trust me :-). I find that the best way to connect with strangers (like people you meet in Best Buy!) is to strive for friendly chats first instead of expecting dates (or even a relationship) to happen right off the bat. She might've thought you were coming on a little strong, or perhaps she genuinely forgot about your planned meeting or is busy. Hell, she might even be having phone problems.
Maybe the next time you go to Best Buy and see her there, casually ask her about the missed hangout! Anywho, sounds like you guys had a connection, so don't give up right away if you're really interested in her.
PS: I happen to be the type of girl who gets skittish if random dudes ask me for my number in public places (i.e. looking at you, creepy guy in the Comics section of a bookstore who tried to hit on me), but that doesn't seem to be the case with the Best Buy chick! If she gave you her number, that's a good sign.

You probably should learn how to do this. It is possible to be diplomatic and even nice about stuff, but you have to figure out how to distance yourself from your anger or frustration first.
However, if you don't ever do this, how will you ever address problems in relationships with anyone, even friends?
tania:
agreed. learning how to not be afraid to discuss anything with your partner coupled with being a good listener is like 98% of whether or not a relationship succeeds or fails, imo.
bbq:
I didn't mean I can't do confrontations, I just meant it would go down extremely, extremely badly.
Right now, I need to figure out how I am going to pursue a relationship with this other girl.
Emaline:
Wait. What? Is the a second girl, or are you still talking about the girl who broke things off with you?
Nonetheless, you can calmly and rationally explain how your friend is making your love life difficult and not cause any drama between you two. If the confrontation is ending poorly it is because someone there is choosing to make it. Call your friend a few days ahead of time and say "hey, I need to talk to you about things. Lets hang out."
