kashmir Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 You guys know the feeling of outright brutal rejection? I just approached this pretty girl who I've seen around a lot. We've exchanged looks and smiled at each other a lot, which is why I'm kinda surprised by her behavior towards me. She was studying for a big exam tomorrow (I assumed she was, as a lot of people are talking about it). I took the class last summer...so I went up to her and asked if she was studying for that (this is in a general and kinda-noisy lounge btw, not a library or anything). She just looks up at me and says yeah. I said that I took the class last summer...she just says, "ok" and looks back down. Point taken...I didn't even say goodbye, just bailed, lol. I feel like such an idiot/creeper, but at least I tried...which is the hardest part.
sid3 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 smiles can be misleading. They are not always an invitation to approach. Your right though, at least you tried. brush it off and try again

She was just so busy studying that I don't think she really noticed you. Had you come up to her at a less stressful time then maybe she would have been a bit more inviting. On the other hand, if you asked her if she likes you and she said no then THAT is "outright brutal rejection".
Author kashmir Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 Eh, I have to admit, I can approach at pretty bad times (when people are studying). This is because I've never been too stressed out over school work and could always take a break to talk to someone while I was doing work, so I don't put myself in another person's shoes. Now that I think of it...the exam she and a lot of others are studying for is organic chemistry. I can see why she'd be stressed, lol.
Dark-N-Romantic Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Some men or women can be really rude about how they reject people. Some love adding the salt to the wound. Sometimes we just catch them at the wrong time. Or sometimes, they know what we are getting at and think, if your going to say something, be honest about it. Now to count it as a rejection. I don't know. It all depends on how well you know this woman. Like some said... You might just caught her at the wrong time and she did not want to be disturbed. Wait until after the test and then try talking to her. DNR
Meet 4 Coffee Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I am agreeing with you that you were rejected. If I were liking a guy, I would have made time to speak and since you had taken the test even asked for some study help. So yes. She was rejecting you, sorry.

I can take it. It was just such an awkward situation, and awkward situations tend to not be so good. This girl tells her friends about me, and all of a sudden you've got a whole group judging me without ever having talked to me.
Capper Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Pfft stressed, I don't buy that at all. Forget her mate, you put yourself out there which is a hell of alot more than what most people do.
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Oh man, organic chemistry requires some intense thinking. If someone asked me a question while I was studying, I would have probably answered the same way. All you did was ask a simple question, though, that was entirely appropriate given the circumstances. So no, you are not an idiot or creeper
