Well, last year in high school I was totally quiet. It was some pseudo mind trick I had devised to gain confidence, and as you might guess. It didn't work at all.
But aside from that, I was quiet during that whole year. I never spoke a word. Well, here's what I need clarification on. My first few days I sat alone in the shade at lunch. I really wasn't interested in friends. A few days in some girls came up to me and asked me what my name was, I replied and they tried to start conversation and I didn't budge. I was a stagnant as a rock and even considering that fact, they still sat next to me every day for the whole year. Just trying to get me to talk. Eventually, they gave up but they still sat next to me. They gave me the usual 'hi' when they sat down and occasionally tried to start conversations. I know they had their own friends they could sit next to, but they all decided to congregate around me for some reason. Everyday I had at least 6 girls sitting all around me, engaging in usual chatter and what not. Hell, even guys I didn't know were coming up to me and congratulating me. It was going good until the end of the school year when I started to give them money for snacks and junk, which I thought nothing of at the time.
Starting this year, they don't sit there anymore, for obvious reasons. I'm just wondering what kept them so persistent throughout all that time. I thought girls just shrugged off quiet guys and let them be, but it was crazy. They still are minor acquaintances to this day, even though I didn't say one friggin word to them at all and all they know about me is my name. I'm not even that good looking, I look like the average guy.
Can someone explain this to me? Did I unknowingly do something amazing? Can someone give me their general hypothesis?
