I think a girl flirted with me today....

Post Reply New Topic

First a little background info:
Though my demeanor is typically friendly, inside I am very cold and calculating. I have trouble reciprocating feelings (or communicating about them at all) as a result of many years of isolation. I've had various crushes on girls in the time I've been in college though nothing has really come of it. I don't have trouble with small talk with either sex but I don't really talk very deeply with anyone anymore.

I'm in an incredibly boring Aesthetics class and I sit at the same table with the same handful of girls all semester. The initial reason for sitting there was it is close to an outlet for my laptop. We did a group presentation together and we talk before and after class (and sometimes during). One of the girls, Claire, seemed to be taking a friendly interest in me and only today was she able to get it through my scull that she is interested in something more than a class mate acquaintanceship. We were walking the same way after class just talking about random stuff and at one point she confirmed that I am a junior and will be around next year. She had thought that I was a senior and she was glad I would be around. Of course, the implications of this flew right past me. As we were about to part ways she asked if I wanted to get coffee sometime. After the lightbulb went off and I realized what was going on, I said I'd love to. I'll ask her in a day or so and I friended her on Facebook.

It has been so long sense someone has flirted with me that I didn't recognize it at all. Unfortunately, I have a history of pushing people away if they get close to me. I am interested in her: she is smart, well read, has a similar sense of humor as me, and she is good looking and in good shape. I'd like to go out with her but I think she may be turned off by my coolness and lack of sentimentalism. I guess we'll see where this goes. I'm glad she didn't give up when I was being clueless.

I will keep you all informed if anything interesting happens....

Need not to inform us, go on and enjoy all the happenings; these are yours!

Speak for yourself. Some of us are voyeurs.

good luck....

im afraid, much like the other two posters... i have to live vicaruously through the lovelives of other people... GAHH!, im such a cynic, ive all but given up on myself, so this is the next best thing...

*Sigh*

Yeah,hahaha..we are.
I wanna hear how this goes.It would be great if it worked out.
She does seem interested:-)

Some of us our voyeurs eh? that I think speaks only for Cal.....mostly.

Me? I'm de Doctor o Hope in matters true to da heart.

Good Luck Michael!
Keep us posted!

Hooray! Good luck!

Wishing you much success!
Others *cough* AFTL *cough* don't give up... it can and will happen!

Nah. I just have more guts in such matters.

I'm a lot like you. I had pretty much resigned myself to being alone for the rest of college when this comes out of the blue.

We are now Facebook friends and things seem to be going pretty well. I like her directness. I hate playing games with people, especially when they seem to want me to read their mind.

its that im 25 in June... my best years are behind me.. now is only the receeding headline, middle age belly and wrinkles....and reduction of sexual drive...

and if no one wanted me when i was in my vigour, who would want me now its going downhill?

AFTL, don't be such a damn pessimist.

NT's think unlogical.
You find it unlogical that anyone would want you now.

Why don't we write our own story?

... but nor as a triangle, and nor a rectangle

Huh, actually I can relate to the thread-name. Once when I just sat quietly on the floor by my locker, reading "Tjensteqvinnans Son" and minding my own business, this girl, obviously from the aesthetic education as only they dress in that much patterns and fabric, who I haven't even seen before, hunches down in front of me and asks me what I'm reading.
Then she says she likes my shoes and asks where I got them.
Then she looks at me in a strange way, says her name is Maria, and reaches out her hand. I tell her my name, and when I reach my hand out in return she flinches at the touch, but she doesn't seem afraid.

And a while back there was this other girl who always smiled at me and gave a "Hi!" when we met in the hallways, this one also being someone I had no previous contact to. And there were other people moving around, but she only greeted me.

I hate playing games like that. It just confuses me.
