>like this girl in my English class>Think she might like me too because she keeps lending me books to read (she had a shit ton of books and would always write little quotes or highlight parts she liked in them. I thought it was cute at the time so I pretended to care about what she read and would read her copies to have stuff to talk about with her)>Even met up with her outside of school one time to give her back a book, but ended up getting ice cream together on the way home too. I was freaking out, thinking that was basically a date.>fast forward to prom. Didnt ask her to go cause I didnt think she was the school dance type, but ended up seeing her there with her friends (all girls)>asked her to dance multiple times. She politely said no each time, but said it was because she just wasnt really into dancing and wanted to hang out with her friends instead. I eventually let it go.>Fast forward again, Im having a conversation with one of her friends and casually bring up that I think the girl is really cute and am thinking about asking her out.>She skeptically informs me that the girl has a boyfriend. Who she never mentioned to me.>I ask her about it and she confirms like its no big deal???>I ask her why she didnt tell me and she only says because I didnt ask. I spent all my time reading this girls stupid books, learning about obscure fucking authors from the 1920s to impress her, spending time and effort into trying to hang out with her, and that whole time she had a bf??Didnt approach a woman ever again after that. I am 24 now. Never recovered.
