Is this girl flaky?

I'm a long-time fan of this board and just had a quick rundown I wanted to ask of you hard-core DJs.

There's this girl that I'm interested in at work (we're both interns), although it really seemed she was interested in me first. Originally she came up and introduced herself to me, and every time we talked she'd always hold eye contact, rub my shoulder, drop hints that we should hang out, etc. etc.

So I asked to her a baseball game last week and she said yes. Now, I've seen her at work in dress clothes and she's a cute girl. But when I picked her up, she was rocking a tiny tank-top, tight jeans and makeup, which she never really wore to work, and the outcome was simply amazing. I made a comment about the clothing telling her "I'm feeling the shirt, but why not wear a skirt?".. She giggled and said that she bruised herself, otherwise she would have. I told her to wear once it healed up, and she agreed.

But when we got to the game, she started acting a little flaky. Sometimes when I'd put my arm around her, she'd be responsive and move closer and other times she'd sit straight in her seat, away from my arm. It could be that she had no clue what was going on (she's a foreign exchange student and this was her first exposure to baseball), but I don't really think that should matter.

After the game, she invited me to drinks with her friends, who quite coincidentally, were mostly guys. For the most part, she gave me attention, but she would talk to her guy friends as well. There was one point that she leaned her head on the shoulder of one of her friends and was looking for some reaction from me. She obviously didn't get one, in fact I think I started smiling. But this element of playing games threw me off of my ultimate goal, which was to get some tongue-action going and set a path for me to get the eventual booty. She was getting a ride from her friends, and I had to get home, so I had to leave. I ended up with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, which definitely wasn't the plan.

And now I saw her at work the other day and asked what time she was leaving, and she said she'd be leaving late but she'd give me a call before she left. She never did because she was going "shopping" and not home, but my stupidity did to find out that information.

Now I already can see the signs and the downward spiral that's going on primarily because I started giving this chick too much attention. My plan right now is to pretty much ignore her the rest of the week, go partying this Thu night, get a couple of numbers, keep myself occupied and see if she comes back into line.

What do you guys think I should do? And what preventive methods should I use not to fall in the same trap again? Thanks... :)

Well I would have went for tongue action right in front of her friends. Though it sounds like you don't want to run through hoops at this point so its probably good on your part to proceed cautiously

I dont want to really do that because:

1) She's a co-worker and I have to keep some sort of a civil relationship with her, and
2) If she had turned her face, I would've looked like a fool in front of her and her friends and I'm one of those ppl with a lot of pride..so I wouldn't have handled it really well..

Yea, I really dont want to run through hoops...I can play games if the situation needs to, but I prefer not to..so I think ignoring might be the best option.. Any other ideas?

And I apologize since I posted this twice... I read the censor message and thought a$$ might've upset the moderators so I changed it...lol. :D

My 2 cents;

I don't think she's flaky.

But, she invited you to have drinks with her friends after the game. Was this already planned? Or did she just spring this on you?

On the surface, it sounds like she was either trying to find a way out of the date, or was trying to find a more comfortable situation; ie her friends.

Where you two having a good time? I mean was she really into you? Or getting bored?

I think she's just one of those girls who likes to hang out with a lot of guys; she's probably just comfortable hanging around them. Either that or she likes a lot of attention from guys and gets a big ego boost out of it. In such cases, you're probably not special to her at all; she just made you another one of her guy friends that she hangs out with. I've been there.

The drinks part wasn't planned at all, one of her friends called her after the game and asked her if she wanted to come for some drinks and then she asked me if I wanted to go. She did seem like she was a having a good time, so I don't think she wanted to get out of the date, but I could see her trying to make the situation more comfortable.

Krd, your response was the first thing that entered my mind as I left. I know she loved the fact that I was giving her attention..what if it she was only being friendly?

This is the way I see it.. there's a huge group of interns in our program, and although we dont work together, there are events together.. and before I would talk to her, but not give her any special attention and just converse with a lot of girls. It definitely seem like she was interested then, and I think the fact helped that two other interns who she works with were definitely trying to hit on me several times (I'm not really interested in them..let's just put it that way). Then when I asked her out, she was still interested, but as the night went on, I had to give her a lot of attention because:

1) I didn't have a lot of social proof since I was only with her and
2) She wanted to show me that she did have social proof which would be her male friends..

And then the day after I gave her MORE attention instead of giving her LESS, when I should brought her back down, ignored her, and just harmlessly flirted with those girls that I know I can get any of the day the week and come off as being confident.. So she must've just thought "I have this guy eating out of my hands"...

Do you guys see it that way or am I totally off? And what should I do? Move on completely or see how she reacts? I'm planning on ignoring her at least for the rest of the week and concentrating my efforts on a party im going to tommorrow night.

Never say die dude... it don't matter what you are up against at the time. I would have established myself as the more dominant male in the group. It's just human nature. You either believe it, or you don't. To get lost in the mix, is a fate that's worse than death... I'm exaggerating of course but, you can only imagine. There you were, amongst her friends, her allies, and then there's you. Next time, think of it more as a game, with the chic as the prize, but be careful, she's also the distraction, you know? Social behavior is a funny thing. In a crowd of people, you can tell who's fun, and who's dull, just by watching. Which one will you be next time?

Just read this from anotehr posting.. this is what I'm talking about...

(FromChubby) My smoothest move is a little graphic so I'll go for a simpler one...

I was dancing with this girl at a club, and all of a sudden, a Latin song comes on... and she whispers, "I love guys who can dance to Latin music."

I then proceed to pull out the crappiest dance moves ever... something that would attract the rest of the crowd to look at me.

She's laughing and enjoying herself, but she notices and says "I think we should stop...people are looking at us.."

I respond, "Are you sure?" and then actually dance to the best of my ability, whirl her around and pull her back hard and EXTREMELY close to me.

She's panting and says "How did you learn to do that?" to which I respond, "My ex was Hispanic, and once she started dancing with me, she never wanted to stop"

She smiles, and then I spend the next 3 hours grinding the sh*t out of her, and eventually getting a hot makeout session right in the club.. get the number..she was good for about 3 months of solid ass.

Man, when chics say something like 'I love guys who can (Fill Blank Here)' it just makes me not want to even try, as much as I would really want to. I dunno why? Maybe it's the fact I'm not looking to do tricks for affection or something.... I've heard this a few times in my life.

Inlaws...interesting.. I wasn't quiet at the bar or anything, but I mean..I can't say I was as comfortable as I would be around people I know.. I do require a small transition period to get comfortable, and plus it didn't help the fact that they were all speaking another language and I couldn't understand what was going on. I tried to use it to my advantage and say "I agree with you 100%" to have the girl laugh and explain what's going on.

The environment was set so that she would "win the game", as you put it, but I tried whatever I could. I'm guessing that you're saying that me not tonguing her was the loss, but that had less to with her friends being there and more to do with the fact that it just "wasn't there". I dunno if that's an excuse or not, but given the circumstances I was dealt, would you still have tried to go for the kill anyway, with the flakiness, and the head games? Maybe I need to rethink how I approach things..

And as for that post about my smooth moment, it just so happened that I had that certain skill.. otherwise the conversation might've gone something like this...

a)

Her - "I love guys who can dance to Latin music."
Me - "Yea, I love girls who can dance to Latin music, but unfortunately, we don't always get what you want. At least you can dance, so it's not a total loss"

b)

Her - "I love guys who can dance to Latin music."
Me - "Maybe you should go look for someone who can" (delivery is very important on this one... make sure you look directly into their eyes and have a smile on your face... chances are she'll stay dancing with you... and if she walks off.. just find another girl and remember to stay smiling while she walks away)
