I think I mentioned her before, but in one of my classes, there is this attractive-but-pretentious chick. The first time I tried breaking the ice with her in class, she got a defensive and went on to disagree with anything I had to say. The next time, she was mumbling and looking away when we walked out of class together (I asked about what paper topic she was going to write about). So this episode is over, I can move on, she's not worth it...
...unfortunately, that wasn't the end. Starting the next week, she began unleashing the kitchen sink strategy. We didn't talk, but she was doing things to get in my eye sight. The first time, she tried and was unable to open the big lecture door as I was closing in (I made some C+F remark and opened the door). The next time, she timed herself to enter the room at the same time as me (she had been sitting down, I come along and she gets up). Both of these times, I get no reaction whatsoever from her. Interceptor went to town on saying I over-analyze too much, and he's right - I do. What happened today may change that thought just a little.
Today I made sure I wasn't going to fall into any of these "games" and I was in the clear! I felt good about myself. I walk out of class with an aquaintance of mine, we're walking into the beautiful weather...and BOOM! she comes up to us. :trouble: She asks if either of us bring a laptop to class, because she missed one of the classes and needed the outline. I know she knows I use mine in class, so I couldn't really say no. I told her I should be able to help out (since I don't want to be a prick). My aquaintance guy immedately runs away and this girl seems like she wants to keep pace with me, which means I gotta talk to this girl for a minute or two For w/e reason I was caught off-guard, I decided to quit while I was ahead (I bring up 1 or 2 things and if I get a good reaction, I call it quits), I also didn't want to appear TOO friendly since she normally doesn't talk much, if at all (remember those past times I had tried talking to her). I told her I had an advising appointment and I really had to get going (I really did, but I had more time than I implied). The only not-smooth thing was that the only way to go was straight ahead, so I made it as if I was on a time constraint.
So here's the deal. My policy with note-helping (in general, but especially with girls) is I will usually help once bcause I'm a decent person. However, if they come to me again asking for notes, I send them away. A girl trying to use her looks and charm only to draw notes from me is not something I like. Therefore, I want to get creative with this one. 1/2 of me wants me to illustrate my rule to her in a C+F way and end it at that. For some odd disturbing reason, the other 1/2 of me wants to go all-or-nothing and see if we can study together or something for the midterm coming up. :crazy:
What should I say to her (this would be via e-mail)? I'm going to be C+F regardless, but I want to have some fun with this one.
