I just got into the game about a month ago, after reading a lot about it and lurking here for a while. I go to a small rural college, where I'm a member of a fraternity. The entirety of our social scene is based around Greek life, because we're so rural.
Anyways, it's a typical Friday and I'm hanging out in my fraternity's basement, waiting for something to happen. I head upstairs, where one of my fellow brothers is with a group of girls. This particular guy is super good-looking; a nice guy who happens to get with a lot of girls and is well connected. He and these girls are heading out to another fraternity and I ask if I can come along. They welcome the opportunity, and we head out.
One important thing about me is that I'm extremely short (5'3), and so I generally only go after girls at or under my height. There's a HB5 and two HB7's with us. One of them is around my height, so I decide to make her my target. We enter this other frat, and check out the scene. It's pretty dead, so I chat up these girls and do some witty banter, just teasing and making jokes with the girls while we plan our next move. I ask everyone if they want to play some outside beer pong on our frat's porch, and they all agree.
We roll back over to my frat and at this point my target mentions very indirectly that her boyfriend is back in his dorm. We end up playing pong, me with target and my friend with HB5. The other HB7 leaves elsewhere. I'm continuing with my teasing and just general humor. I neg her by telling her that she throws like a man. She tells me that I'm fun and we should play pong again some time. Halfway through our game, another pair of girls shows up, HB8 and HB7. The shorter of the two is HB7, we'll call her HBTurkish, and she's of an interesting ethnic mix, so I tell her to guess my nationality. She fails, (I'm Bolivian/English), but I guess both her and her friend's nationalities correctly, as well as my target. Lucky guesses, haha. I decide to switch targets here.
I find some excuse to high-five HBTurkish and then casually mention she has interesting palms. She looks off-put for a second and says, "....Thanks, no one I've met has ever said that to me". I explain that I can read palms, then her face lights up and she goes "OH!" and holds out her palm. I say, not now, I'm in the middle of a game. She looks sad, haha.
I finish pong, and the girls express their interest in going to another frat. They ask if I want to go, and I say nahhh I'm going to stick around. They press, so I tell them I'm tired and don't want to wander around. I begin talking to HBTurkish and the other girls wander up to go to the bathroom, all at the same time. I take this as a sign to # close her, so I do. She asks me if I am going to read her palm. I told her, nope, it'll have to be tomorrow, when we get lunch together. She says, "sure, I'd like that", and then her friends come down and she leaves.
Fast forward to today, where I call her up and our conversation goes like this:
Me: Hey what's up, it's Derp
HBTurkish: ..... Oh, hey!
Me: ... so um I was gonna ask you if you wanted to get lunch today?
HBTurkish: .... oh... yeah! ... um I have stuff to do today, so I can't make it... but lets do tomorrow or the day afterwards
Me: Hmmm bummer.... I'm kinda busy tomorrow and later this week... but I'll email you monday or something and we can uh see if our schedules line up then.
HBTurkish: uhh ok... sounds good...
Me: Cool... see you then... btw now you have my number, haha
Her: haha, ok bye
I'm unsure of where to proceed now, it just confuses my why a girl would seem enthused about going to lunch the night before and then flaking out the next day. I think my state during the phone call was weird too, definitely different than my cocky/funny state from the night before. Suggestions on what I could/can do better?
