I waited on a girl tonight that I've tried to flirt with before. She wanted a pack of cigarettes, keeping her head down and not looking at me at all. She didn't say anything to me. I wasn't in a flirty mood so I said nothing also. Nice way to begin an intense relationship. As she left with her friend (who was several orders of magnitudes hotter but I paid no attention to) she forgot her cigarettes. Still not looking at me, I made some Kramer-esque noises at her and her friend, for some reason unable to articulate the fact she'd left her cigs. She said to her friend, "go get those, will you?" Again she avoided eye contact. This is not the first time she's acted this way around me.

I mentioned this whole episode to a friend over a steaming heap of fresh tacos. He said there could be a few explanations:
A.) She lacks confidence
B.) She's scared
C.) She wants nothing to do with me
D.) None of the above

Let me break this down. If the answer is A then she is simply shy and needs me to be a little more forward than "will there be anything else?". If the answer is B, then I need to stop looking so angry (which I should do anyway). If she wants nothing to do with me, then I should back off. But I haven't got any other signal from her that tells me she's repulsed and/or frightened by my existence as a human being. And as a man, I should take that as an invitation to come on to her. Shouldn't I?

Its all an exercise in futility. I probably haven't even come close to the real reason she acted the way she did. In addition, I have some background info on her that may or may not be why she acts so strangely. No need to repeat that gossip here, since the source is questionable and the info has not been verified!
