This semester (started beginning February), there's this woman who's in two of my classes. For some odd reason, she took me having a 5-10 minute conversation with her one night as we were walking out of our evening class as a romantic interest (even though I did and said nothing to say I was interested in her like that), and now ignores me whenever she looks at me. This has been going on for about three weeks now. Every time we see each other in the hall-way, library, or what not, she quickly looks down and walks away quickly. What's funny is we always seem to run into viewing distance of each other every couple days in the library, hall-way, or one of the building campuses. I've contemplated going up to her and telling her what her issue is, but I figure that it isn't even worth it. I was hoping to be friends with her, not pursue her romantically. The way she's treating me, it almost feels like I said something inappropriate and/or sexual to her, which I didn't. I also have her number, which she gave at the beginning of the semester, and I only texted her once a couple weeks ago to figure out if we had an exam that next class, and she didn't respond (classless on her part, but whatever).

So, is this woman basically a little insane or what? If the roles were reserved, there's no way I would be treating the person the way she has for no reason (would also be flattered that someone finds me attractive). Usually if I'm interested in a person, I would flirt, banter, qualify, and make fun of her a little bit. I did none of those things with her.

This is just one woman and not all women. If you find this a consistent pattern then you are giving off a bad vibe and you got to work on that vibe. For all I know you could be giving creepy leery look when you talk to her that makes her feel uncomfortable.

As for me throughout life I've always had female friends that was nothing more than friendship.

Edited my post.

Also, this is the first time this has happened (I talk with a lot of females), so I'm just chalking it up to a woman with issues.

The women that I hang out with say that if I talk to any women at a bar it will be interpreted as a pick up no matter how mudane the conversation. I tried arguing the point with examples to no avail.

Not everyone owes you any semblance of friendship. Get over yourself.

I'm not even arguing that point. Also, I'm aware that nobody owes you a semblance of friendship.

I'm glad you edited your post. I'm glad I could help. This is just one woman. There are plenty of other men and women who would make good friends. As for getting into her head there is no point. The only thing you know for certain is she doesn't want to be friends. Don't take it personally. I know you may feel hurt and insulted that she doesn't want to be friends but it is not a reflection of your character, personality, well-being.

Why do some men assume that women want to do them if they talk to them? Some people just suck at social skills. The internet has made things worse if you ask me. Nobody knows how to communicate anymore.

Well, it's not even the fact that she doesn't want to be friends, but just plainly ignoring me like I did something wrong. Also, it's not even getting to me (sometimes I'm the one that looks and walks away if I see her :P).

Even if I didn't want to be friends with someone, I would still talk to them if I ran into them. Acquaintances exist for a reason.
