A Surprise Attack! How Should I Handle This? (8)

1 Name: orange shirt guy : 2010-02-26 09:21 ID:2Oy8OYkG

So something really interesting and surprising happened to me the other night. I probably wasn't hallucinating it’s just I'm still surprised at what happened. This pretty much never happens to me. Anyway to the story I almost always go to eat at one of the dining commons near my dorm at college every night to have a snack I walk in get my food sit down and enjoy delicious food... alone like always.

But anyway back to the story I was sitting there eating when some large black guy I never met called out to me by the color of my shirt I looked up and waved back to him. He then got up walked over to my table and shook my hand he might have told me his name I might have even told him mine but it was one of those days were I could barely speak and talk due to lack of food so I have no idea. He told me some girl over there in a blue shirt says she thinks I’m cute to which I responded idiotically with “what really? Thanks” he said yeah she lives in ****** dorm hall and that I should get up and introduce myself. I said “oh alright” and went back to eating my whole calm mental state quite shattered. I had no idea what to do. I thought initially it was a girl sitting with him who looked quite scary so even if I had gotten up I would have made a mistake. His group left a little while and then I also left. I remembered later that he had said he knew it wasn’t any of his business and he might have said that it was a girl working there. So it wasn't one of the girls he was sitting with. I was instantly filled with regret at that thought. Anyway I don’t know where to go from here. I would like to get to know her. But at the same time it could just be a joke maybe that guy just said those things for the lulz. Or maybe this girl is really scary. It’s just a story I don’t know what to do I don’t know whether I should ask for words of encouragement or a reality check. But I could use some advice. Like how do I even try to meet her? How do I know which one is her? should I try to find that mysterious black guy? What do I even say to her? I know this place is mostly dead and this post is long but I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Odds are, you almost became the victim of a prank. I'd say leave it be and move on.

Yeah I suppose so. It's just the guy was very sincere like he wasn't smiling or anything he had this serious expression on and the group of people he was sitting with weren't laughing or giggling either in fact after the guy talked to me they pretty much ignored me. Also the people that work there seem more friendly towards me than before. Still it might just all be in my head. There isn't much I can do and it still could be a prank... oh well

I don't know that I'd go that far.

But keep in mind, even if it was real, what sort of person would initiate a relationship through such means? If I were in your position, I'd be suspicious as hell.

I know what you mean I think but it seemed like the black guy worked there, I think I saw him working in the kitchen there last night, maybe he overheard the girl saying something and thought that it would be a good idea for me to talk to her thats the impression I got. It wasn't like she asked him to say something because he said it was none of his business. He didn't give her name out he just told me where she lived which is wierd you're right is no way of knowing for sure. oh well college life is wierd. Thanks for the reality check though sometimes I get too caught up in these thoughts.

A shy person, maybe. If I didn't know a guy personally there is no way I would tell him I liked him to his face, and if you don't know someone it can be hard to think of other excuses to talk to them. It is a childish way to go about things, but I see people do that kind of thing all the time, and it works usually.

OP, if you see the guy around again try start a conversation. Since you don't know each other really, he is likely to bring up the topic of the girl as it's one of the few things you have on common ground. Than ask for her number or something?

thanks I'll try it I'm not very good at that sort of thing but it shouldn't be too bad. In any case I'm planning on going to the same dining commons at the same time on the same day and hopefully I'll see him then. There are a lot of people at my campus so the chances of me seeing him randomly are pretty small. If I don't see him she'll probably be working there and maybe I can either figure out who it is or hopefully she'll try and talk to me I guess those are my only options at this point.
