Is it possible to make a girl mad at you by downplaying her advances or acting oblivious to them?
This girl who works at a local shop was always trying to get me to ask her out (mentioning her "stupid ex boyfriend" and stuff like that) but I didnt want to hurt her feelings so I just acted like the autist that I usually am.
She seems kind of grumpy now. Did I hurt her feelings? Is this how girls normally deal with dudes who they feel rejected them or turned them down?
Uh, yes. Why don't you ask her out?
well yeah, you can certainly hurt their feelings like that. They see it as rejection and you know how bad rejection feels to people who aren't used to it (most young girls aren't).
It's pretty normal.

Shit, y'all just made me realize I probably have the same "problem", lol.
>>17918626
I wasnt really attracted to her.

I did my best and played the autist card. Didnt want to just confront her and say "I know what you are hinting at but I dont like you that way".
Seems like it would be less devastating to just act like like I have no clue.
>>17918622
Yes, don't worry about it.
She'll find someone else soon enough.
You just carry on as normal.
>>17918626
Why her? Start saying this so obliviously to girls, please.

OP here and I kind of lied a bit.
I just wasnt ready at the time. When I say I "wasnt ready" I was living with my mother at the time and I was broke as fuck.
TLDR would probably only last for a fling sort of period and then I would have to find a new store to buy beer at.

>there is a seriously fucked up half of the population that actually believes that not being approached = automatic rejection.
>They see being incredibly subtle and vague, and people not reading their minds and knowing instantly what they want = rejection.
Good god. Imagine if a woman actually approached a dude and got stick with an eye-roll, an "ugh" or a "creep"?
She'd most likely become a shut-in forever banishing herself and her perceived ugliness from the world, or she'd fucking kill herself.
I mean, holy shit.
Could you imagine if a guy complained about rejection all the time when the truth was he never made a move and the "rejection" was literally her doing her own thing and not noticing that he was harbouring some feelings for her?
My god, women have no idea.

Yes girls become extremely angry an bitter when they're rejected, the idea of genuinely being told no infuriates them. Obviously not all women are like this, but every encounter like this has been like this.
>>17918622
yes
my experience has been that single girls are thinking about one thing only. if they're talking to you it's because they have ulterior motives.
when it becomes clear you aren't going to make an approach, they have literally no reason to even acknowledge you ever again, because they were only pretending to be friendly in the first place.

Second. Women have done some spiteful shit to me.

how does living with your parents change anything?
t. 23 and living with father, studying at uni
also never had a gf

kek, she works at a local shop, you think she was "ready"? You can always find reasons why you aren't ready for to date, but all of them all bullshit, dating isn't the final challenge of life, which you can confront only after achieving everything else. I'm willing to bet you were just scared and came up with that justification not to do it.

You're exaggerating. She didn't feel rejected because she wasn't approached, she felt rejected because she approached a guy and was ignored. OP wasn't specific, but I doubt she was incredibly vague. I mean, he did notice didn't he? In my experience when girls hit on you enough to get pouty if you ignore them they're pretty obvious about it.
