Can anyone help me out with this girl situation?

Question

Can someone help me out with this?
There was a girl I met for a second time that was a buddy of mine's gf's roommate and to be honest, one of the reasons why I developed an interest in wanting to get to know her was because she didn't seem like one of those flashy, self-absorbed bad-boy chasing types like most women are like today.....I remember she would stand quietly with her arms crossed like she felt out of place, so she would look over and try to start a convo, and i'd say something back. I remember the next time I saw her a couple month's later she started talking to me and we had a nice chat, then I started to talk to my friends there. Then she told me like 5 times she was going to be leaving early because she was going to another party but would most definitely be coming back.

I was going to ask for her number. What's wrong with that? Yeah, right. I asked her in case she wasn't coming back if she would like to leave me her number so I could call her sometime and the LOOK she gave me......

She looked straight ahead and gritted her teeth and my heart sank. Then she said "Im probably going to be coming back", then walked away. No bye nothing. She also never came back. Moments before I asked for her number, my friend and I didn't remember her name, so she joked with us about that. Maybe bad timing? But if she was interested it wouldn't have mattered right?

Now any of you jaded women who want to talk about "aww ego bruise", first off I don't have an ego problem. I'm a guy with a pulse who is sensitive. Since you're used to just looking at that guy to tell your problems too and not date, you're probably not too knowledgeable of the type of person I am.

Am I overreacting if I say I'd rather be hit by a truck or eat glass than ever have to go through that again my entire life?

It's not like im still stewing over it, you know three months ago on New Year's eve a couple hours before midnight......

Was that really rejection and if so why?

Answer 1

You probably scared her a little. She sounds like she was probably kinda shy and when you asked for her number, she got nervous around you. That was the only way she knew how to react. Technically, it wasn't rejection. Don't worry, You'll find someone else. Have you seen her since??? I'm sure your friend's roommate could bring you up in a casual conversation and see what the deal was. Girls are good at that. Yeah, I'd say you're over reacting a little if you'd rather eat glass or get run over just to not have that happen again. Good luck. If it's meant to be, you'll talk to her again!!!
