OK, this is a follow up to a post in general discussion, but given the difference in age between the gal and I, I thought I'd post here to get feedback. She's college aged, I'm older than college age, which will put some of these convo's in context.
There's this hot blonde gal in my class. She's been gaming me from the instant she saw me, even before class, and I've been half heartedly pushing the action. But I've blown many opportunities she's suggested for isolations, and I'm pretty sure she's getting ticked off and tired of trying. For example, day one she suggested that we walk to the bookstore together. Iso 1. I bailed. Later, she said she wanted to study together. I said nothing. And just the other day, I was talking with her along with classmates, and I just bailed abruptly. She sounded very sad and frowned when I left. She thought we were all chillin' and I just walk off like that. At other times, she's waited for me before going to break, by sitting or standing there staring at me.
The thing is, she gets super nervous every time I talk to her. She looks dazed, or freezes up, or stutters and it throws me off and actually makes me nervous.
Yesterday, a couple guys gamed her (same guys talking to her after class) and she's rolling with that and digging the attention. I tried talking to her again too, but she's been taking jabs at me. "Oh, it's easier to learn when you're YOUNGER." This is a dig at our age difference, since she is younger. And she wouldn't look up from her phone when I talked to her again.
Oddly, when the instructor asked us to pair up, she turned to stare at me AGAIN. I said "come on, Sheila, let's practice." She said "no, I'm going to practice with HIM."
My sense is she's ticked at me bailing on her, rejecting her, etc. She's still attracted but is exacting a measure of revenge. How do I work this?
