Was at a big group event on the weekend (50+ people). Had been 'interacting' with a girl before it in a few different ways and somehow things went really well.Hard to explain without providing personal material, but we'd interacted in public and then a few dms in the days before the event but never actually had a private conversation together, but there was obvious flirting going on.Friday was the first time we actually met IRL and there was obvious tension, other people at the event were aware of it too.Loads of sexual tension the entire weekend but my conversation ended up being massively autistic. Many small factors but primarily because there was too much pressure on us before we'd ever met IRL and we didn't have 20-30 minutes alone to work through the initial awkwardness.Repeat shit conversation and sexual tension entire weekend until the last few hours she just decides to totally ignore me. I was aware of it and didn't bother talking to her the rest of the night until we were all leaving and I said my goodbyes.Found out a few days later that she was into me the entire weekend but eventually got fed up and tried to avoid me.I won't see her for a few months more, but we'll both be heavily active in similar things online.Spoke to a mutual friend who clearly did work setting it up. I kinda just alluded to it not being the right environment to get to know someone but mostly just downplayed it (to get a story back to her).Friend tried to act completely dumb to the fact that there was something between us.Is there anyway to salvage this from here? I feel like it was a fleeting attraction.She was into my conversation in public and online but I was unusually terrible in person.My mates reckon aside from that one conversation with the mutual just go completely indifferent towards her with no interaction or talking about her to others for the foreseeable future.
