There was a girl (how stereotypical). I met her earlier this semester. Knowing that all of my past “friendships” have ended in one-sided suffering, I didn’t really ever talk to anyone nor make acquaintances with anyone because I knew that it would never end well for me. We were in almost entirely the same classes. To me she was that super cute girl who didn’t fit into any of the categories shown in the picture plus the extra category of “dresses like she wants d***.” (in other words, she doesnt dress like she wants d***) Picture: [url]http://imgur.com/Q8NIVpf[/url] We both also sat in the same general area in the lecture halls, so clearly she knew I existed. One day, she approached me asking a question regarding our computer science class. After I answered it, we just started chatting about stuff as any friends would. For us we only really talked in our Calculus 2 class because that was when we were together without any of her other friends around. Eventually, we decided to work together on the next computer science project so that it could be easier to complete with two heads thinking. Hold on let me make that clearer for you. She asked to hang out with me alone together, without her friends with whom she’s always worked on these projects with. She specifically choose me, “Does she like me?” I couldn’t not ask that to myself. However, I wouldn’t ask her out unless I was sure that she had some interest in me. With that thought in mind, I went with her to work on the project. We conversed a lot during that time and even had lunch together and a long conversation when we were done because neither of us liked to say goodbye. After that, I still wasn’t entirely convinced that she liked me. So after a few weeks of us enjoying our time together, I noticed favorable changes in her body language and sentence wording, she was copying my style. This was more evidence of a liking-ness emanating from her. Finally, on the Monday before last Monday (at the time of this post) I decided to ask her out. Previously, I had gotten evidence from her proving that she may be a very busy person. So I considered the possibility of her turning me down because of it. This is exactly how the conversation went: (This occurs after a conversation between us just ended. Time-wise it occurs in between classes. All of my responses were planned so that I could gain the most amount of information from her responses while still being somewhat direct about my intentions) Me: Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go out some time? Cutie-Pie: What do you mean? Me: Well, you know… (It only took her about half a second to respond. This told me that what she is about to say she had said before and planned to say it if the occurrence of someone asking her out ever occurred again. In other words she had some obligation, some small or possibly strong determination to stay single. It could also mean that she feels she is forced to be single by some other means) Sweet-Cheeks: Oh, sorry I’m too busy to have any kind of relationship right now. I’m usually having to tell guys this. Me: Well, I’m busy as well. (Implying that I don’t mind if she’s busy. This was the one mistake of this conversation. I should have clarified my point to ensure that she understood me) She stared into my eyes for about 4 seconds. This felt like an eternity. Without breaking eye contact, she said: Typing-Pianist (inside joke): I’ll think about it… (She continued staring into my eyes for about 2 seconds) Me: I guess I’ll have to give you that time then. (We still haven’t broken eye contact yet.) Baby-Cakes: I’ll see you on Tuesday. That was the last time that I've spoken to her. For the next week and a half she avoided me as if I were some toxic waste plant. In our calculus class she changed her seat to be way in the back (Very unlike her, that is the biggest piece of evidence claiming that she is avoiding me. Especially since the change is so sudden), she doesn’t even look at me anymore, well she obviously purposely doesn’t look at me anymore. These actions have brought me down to four possibilities of what she is thinking: Option/Possibility 1. She actually likes me, but doesn’t know what she should do, thus she behaves irrationally because she doesn’t know what else to do. Option/Possibility 2. She doesn’t like me, but she doesn’t want to hurt my feelings by officially declining me or by stating that she doesn’t like me. Option/Possibility 3. She feels guilty for declining me but doesn’t know how to put it, thus she behaves irrationally because she doesn’t know what else to do. Option/Possibility 4. She is telling the truth and truly doesn't want to be in a relationship at the moment, but is acting irrationally because she feels bad. Well Offftopic, what do you think she is doing? If you need more information, just ask. [spoiler]By the way, I'm not an awkward person nor am I ugly if this is even relevant[/spoiler] TL;DR A cutie-pie is avoiding me after I asked her out when we have a good history together, I was wondering why she is avoiding me (options for the poll are listed above) EDIT: tried to fix paragraph formatting issues in the conversation EDIT2: clarified the last sentence of the first paragraph
