I posted something like this a while ago, but I don't think I was being clear enough. This tour guide seemed really interested in me. Out of so many women on the bus, I was his main attraction (that in itself is a mystery). He stared at me a lot, smiled warmly, asked if I was comfortable, if I needed anything, made friends with my father (he let me go alone with my best friend to Spain), even informed me that I was beautiful. I remember how hard he tried to speak to me. Our conversations were very short and he seemed frustrated about it. The reason why I had to stick to small talk was because my Spanish sucks badly. Besides being shy, It's embarrassing. My father speaks better Spanish than I do....then again he grew up in Spain.
At the end of our trip, I made an impulsive decision. Why the hell did I do it? It defies logic. I stuffed a ring into a note. The note read: (my email) and "from Amira, the mute." There goes my self-deprecation. Well, I couldn't help but to be silent. My Spanish is crap.
He looked at me curiously....I walked very very quickly away before he said anything more.
Hiding behind a bunch of people, I turned one last time.
The guy stuck it in his pocket.....interested but confused.
I've got the feeling that I pissed him off. There was this incident when he asked if I spoke any other languages. I said farsi/arabic and English. A long pause ensued. Frustration passed over his face. "I was like you when I was your age, I liked reading and music. But you can't be quiet for the rest of your life."
I kind of wounded me. So I said nothing more, again.
Well, in the end, he never sent me a message.
How can someone start out being so charming and turn out so cold?
This is the 2nd time a guy has dissed me. I must have issues.

i dont think you really 'pissed him off'. & I wouldn't really say it's all your fault either!
Let it go... there'll be others, who're better :)

Don't feel bad about it Persian girl, is not really your fault besides you're not even sure what his intentions were, you seem like a very nice girl and I'm sure you'll meet more people, don't sell your self short, and be confident in who you are, the comment you made:"that in itself is a mystery" shouldn't even cross your mind, in the other hand, if he never didn't send you a message is his lost, for I can see you are from different cultures and is always great to know people like that because it give you the chance to learn so much, so don't even worry about it.

That didn't seem to be so bad. Why do you feel dissed? I think you just got the signals crossed. Don't be so hard on yourself.
P.S.
My spanish sucks too, but I always try to use it whenever I can. I find that most spanish speaking people are flattered that I try to communicate with them in their native tongue, no matter how badly I butcher it. I just ask, Ayudarlame con mi espanol, por favor, and they do.

I don't think he was pissed off. Since he can barley speak English he probably didn't know what the note said. If you every see the guy again ask him about the note.
Good luck!!

Seems to me there was a communication failure...
Next time be ready to speak Espanol.
Attractions have no boundaries.
