I'm not sure if it was 2 or 20 minutes after the exchange, but she left the room after that and was talking on the phone downstairs in Spanish in a frustrated tone. Not sure if it was family or if she's mad at me for saying something so dumb to someone I live with.
So yeah. Fuck. I don't know what to do. Really fucking hate myself right now. Feel pretty embarrassed and sad that she didn't react more positively. I guess it's possible that she was posturing since other housemates were in the room (although I don't think they were paying attention to us).
Not uncommon for bitch girls to switch-in-bait guys like this (if she ever truly did at all - I don't know I just have your interpretation to go off).
Either way, you probably jumped the gun a bit yourself by doing something sort of affectionate like that. Shit like that tends to turn girls off faster than anything.
And also either way, you now know that she wasn't interested/you disqualified yourself (either way, same effect) so don't keep playing the fool and chasing after her. But don't be butthurt either. If I was neutral bystander I would have absolutely read your response as snarky/sarcastic so just go with that and move on with your life m8. This doesn't sound like a le cringeworthy social catastrophe.

Well last night she invited me to go with a few other housemates to a nearby nature reserve thing today and I expressed some interest. She brought it up/invited me last night before the awkward exchange.
Saw her in the kitchen this morning and she asked again if I'd like to go. I told her no and that I was hungover. Not sure what her decision to re-extend the invitation this morning means.
I guess it was good for me to decline since it shows her that I'm not dying to spend (more) time with her.

it means that this thing you perceived as a disaster was completely inconsequential to her

There is one way to deal with situations like this, in my experience. Piss the floor in front of her.

Maybe it isn't a social disaster, but it is a disaster in the sense that I disqualified myself
