Many times..(I still wince at my AFC days)...but the following was the absolute act of stupidity on my part.
At French :
I'm reading a book - fantasy book "So You Want To Be A Wizard". Dumb title, incredibly stupid book. This chick...probably the second hottest in the class, comes over to me. I just joined the class a few weeks back.
Her : Hey, whatcha readin'?
Me : <booktitle>
Her : Oh, that sounds interesting, can I borrow it when you're done?
Me : *mumbling* ok.
After class she reminds me to bring it the nest lesson. The next lesson she gets my name from another guy and calls across the room to me.
Her : Finished the book?
Me : No, it's a bad book.
Her : Can I still borrow it?
Me : You wouldn't like it.
Her : I'd still like to try.
Me : Trust me, you wouldn't like it.
Back and forth, me and her literally aruging about the damn book across the room. She even asked for my number, so that she could call me to return it, or if she found it interesting. My response?
"Trust me, it's a BAD BOOK."
ARGH! All that over a stupid book, and I don't even see she's interested in me. She left the class the following year, and THEN I find out from her friend she'd been eyeing me the moment I stepped into the class.
And then there's the time I was moping around on New Year's Eve at a party, and this 9 (I NEVER rate chicks a 9, my standards are too high) comes over and starts to chat me up. But if I relate that I'm just going to depress myself.
Thank God for the Forum, and that I actually wised up.
