Hi everybody!
I had a rather not so successful experience the other day and would need some advice on a) what I did wrong and b) what to do next.
I'd be glad for any help!
So here's what happened:
Wednesday last week (28 December) I went with a few friends to a bar. As I was kind of on and off with my girlfriend and not sure where we were going, I wasn't looking for pick-up. I was having a good time with my friends, when I was approached by this Brazilian girl.
She was here only for another two weeks and we had a phenomenal conversation. She asked me what I was doing for New Years and I said I was going to party with friends and asked her if she wanted to come. She said yes with a big smile. She gave me her eMail, Skype and Facebook even though I just asked for the Facebook.
Fast forward friday. I ask her if she is really coming for New Years. She is like "No I can't, you have a girlfriend and I think that's not right" (damn you facebook!), so it takes me a little convincing. I say something like "C'mon, I am a big boy, I can hang out with other girls" She says ok she will come.
Saturday she is like "Sorry I can't come, I need to hang out with my friends from Brazil and celebrate with them" WTF...so I try to convince her a little but as she seems to get annoyed I am like "Alright, give me a call if you wanna grap a drink" She immediately asks if I wanna do something on Tuesday (yesterday) and I say yes, but she has to plan it.
It is Tuesday and haven't heard anything from her. So the initial conversation goes like this:
Me: "What's the plan for Tuesday"
Her: "Stay home"
Me: "Weren't we gonna grap a drink today?"
Her: "I can't I have to wake up early tomorrow for German classes. Maybe friday, I am free friday"
It seems like she doesn't even remember we had an appointment! But she bailed twice and I don't really feel like playing that game again. So I propose to get a few beer and come over to her place, we can have a relaxed time and she can still go to bed early. During the conversation I also tell her that my girlfriend and I broke up a few days ago (which is true). It doesn't work.
Instead she puts on her ***** screen and is like "I don't know what kind of person you think I am, but I don't want to go out with you"
So I end the conversation writing "Alright. Have a nice stay in Germany and a save flight home."
Later that night I make the mistake (I know I know foolish mistake) of writing her "Sorry about how I reacted earlier, didn't mean to be annoying"
So this is really ****ed up.
What did I do wrong? She approached me and seemed to be interested, but that bailed out twice?
Is there anything I can do to save the situation or is it a lost cause? I am thinking I should do something about it, since she is leaving Germany on Sunday, I have nothing to lose really.
So I have a few options.
1.) I am having a drink with a few friends today. I can invite her there. Considering the fact we didn't have a really nice conversation yesterday and she will have German classes tomorrow, too, I think that's a bad idea.
2.) I can ask her on Thursday or Friday if she wants to party on Friday, in a sentence like "Hi I am partying with friends on Friday, wanna come?" When should I ask? Thursday or make her wait?
3.) Just leave it alone, which would break my heart (c'mon guys, a hot Brazilian tourist about to leave the country...wouldn't you wanna hit that?)
Another question I have is, is it smart to write or say something like "Hey, we had a rather bumpy start, how about we forget about that and try a new start/get to know each other?"
Thanks foro the answers!
