You're reading way too much into that one little phrase she used "Your Groupie"...it was a play on words. She is in your group working on a project so technically she is your "groupie". Too many cricket chirps here and not enough real stuff going on...have a good summer and don't worry about if she is interested or not...I think NOT.

that never even occurred to me and makes total sense. i feel pretty stupid now. summer will be fun and I'll chalk this up as a learning experience.

This is college and cute girls are everywhere. Anyway, we all exchange email addresses to keep in touch with each other. I was responsible for putting together a survey. I attach the file, keep everything project specific, and foward it out to all the group members.

A couple days later, I get a response from one of the cute girls back. She keeps everything project related, double checks on what time we are supposed to meet in the library, and ends her message to me with her name and directly below it "your groupie ".

I don't take the bait. I confirm we are meeting at seven and tell her good luck with whatever computer problems she was experiencing (mentioned in the previous email).

She returns the email once again asking if we are in fact meeting today. I confirm the meeting is for this evening and I'll see you soon. This time I include a at her.

At the meeting, she ends up sitting next to me, but there is absolutely nothing there. No real eye contact even. Maybe she's shy. I dunno. I don't care. I'm not really looking for anything from her anyway.

She misses class the next day, so I send her an email filling her in on what she missed and when we were gunna meet up again. We exchange a couple more emails, all project related, and then I leave her with my number in case she has any more questions since I wont be near a computer the rest of the day. This happens Wednesday.

She texts me Saturday, the day of our second meeting, and keeps it all project related. Small talk is made and I ask her why her parents named her Audray instead of Audrey. We converse a little more and meet up. She sits by me again and there is nothing once again. I think I made her laugh a couple times but other then that, there is absolutely nothing. I text her later that night after our meeting and get cricket chirps. I do the same thing Sunday morning and get cricket chirps again. I can take a hint. I don't text her again.

She texts me later Sunday and asks if I've sent her my finished slide for the project. I tell her no. She texts the same thing monday. I tell her I'm having a beer at my buddy's and that I'll get it to her soon. I see her on my way to the library. She's on the phone (she's always on it). We say hi, I quickly email her the slide and leave. 15 minutes later, I get a text from which slide she was supposed to use and whether or not I was still in the library. I tell her to use the one without the clip art and tell her I'm halfway to Hico (the next town south and close to where I live). Perhaps a better text would have been why do you wanna know, but I was driving. Her response, "oh gee... well be careful." I tell her it's okay, I only had one beer. She continues to ask me if I'm sure the slide I sent her via email is the one I want to use for the project.

Here's where I call her bluff. I figure she's probably just messin with me. I text, "Put the cards on the table hun. I'm leavin in two days. You either like me or you don't." She responds that she is just trying to make sure she is using the right slide. I text "You're funny. It's whatever. Good bye, good night."

She responds with a good night. She texts the next day asking whether or not I have a USB. I don't respond. Nothing is ever said between us again since. Women...

I suppose there was a slight chance she was into me. I mean, I never gave her the slightest hint I was into her other then sending her a small talk text saturday night and sunday around noon. I don't know. Still, what kind of a girl signs off an otherwise project related email as "your groupie =)"? She was either genuinely interested, or the type that likes getting in a guys head. It's whatever though. Summer is here and I'm 200 miles from campus right now anyway. Time to hit the Guadalupe, Lake Travis, and some concerts.

Live it up, sleep with as many girls as u can, get it out of your system, but always smart and safe. Thats what u should be doing at your age....plenty of time to settle down when u get older.

What she said. Not sure where you got the idea she was interested.

Ah...I just read more. Connecticut Pam hit it I think. You definitely misread that. Don't worry about looking for such subtle signs - it's way too easy to misread, as you did here. If a gal is REALLY interested, then she'll make it quite clear. If she isn't all that interested, then you don't need to be wasting your time.

Even if there was some slight interest on her side, you pretty much blew it with her because of your attitude and responses back. You jumped the gun and read too much into what she was saying - almost like you were looking for what you wanted it to be.

I think you're an arrogant jerk and she's better off without you.

I got the point guys. She didn't like me and I didn't play my cards well at all if she indeed did. I'll apollogize, delete her number, any texts from her, and leave it at that. My thought process was other then the "groupie" comment, which I clearly misread, who repeatedly makes sure I sent them the right slide after confirming I did more than once? I made it clear as day as to which slide I wanted included. And if she didn't care anything for me, why'd she throw in the "oh gee... well be careful" when i told her I'd left the library and was half way home? Screw it. I'm the idiot here. Nothing to see here folks.

Common courtesy from a concerned group member? Hey, if I was in your group, I'd say something similar, unless you were a group flake. I wouldn't say anything, but would be thinking, "I hope you get stopped and get yourself thrown in jail."
