<p>To further protect my anonymity, I'm going to try and take out a few specifics without compromising the basic essentials:
So some time ago (I'm a high school senior), fellow students of the same major and I were waiting in a lobby for a certain thing we had to take. I noticed a pretty cute girl and eventually went up to talk to her. I could immediately feel that she was feeling awkward, but I decided to just keep at it anyway, and eventually asked for her number in the guise of being study buddies. She politely declined, and added that she forgot her number. Although this is most likely bs, she could have genuinely forgot and is just really uninformed of herself. What do you think? Also, what should I do when class starts, since we're going to be taking the same general courses? How do I handle the awkwardness?</p>
<p>I’m a guy, but I think it was a lie (if she had her phone on her she could fetch it)–it is very common for a girl to do this to avoid a guy from getting too attached / close.
Treat her as any other classmate and I think you should be fine.</p>
<p>She didn’t forget her number. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve embarrassed yourself and she doesn’t like you (though it’s better to assume this than the opposite). I wouldn’t give my phone number to a stranger…I would have to know them for a while in some context, like being in the same class. </p>
<p>How big is your school? If your school is of a decent size, you may never see her again (at least, not in a way that wouldn’t be very easy to avoid her). Do freshman at your school all take the same GEs? You may very well be taking different ones, either this fall or in the future.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it one way or the other. You pursued a girl who clearly felt uncomfortable. What did you expect to happen? Just forget about it, and it’ll all be fine.</p>
<p>
She didn’t want to give you her number. </p>
<p>
If you do see her again, don’t acknowledge her. If you guys make eye contact, give her a courteous smile or head nod. </p>
<p>
Just let it pass. Awkwardness happens. </p>
<p>She is …soooooo not into you.
That’s what that meant. It happens man. Do not get too attached or read into anything more than what it was. Who knows she might be seeing someone else or not wanting any guy for now or not into guys.
Just go to class and treat her like any other classmate with courtesy and move on.
Not everyone is going to want to hang with you, so use this as a lesson and keep-it-moving… who knows maybe the “girl from 3d & a hot-tub” might be your type…lol.
Good Luck.</p>
