OP is unintentionally hilarious. Can't wait to see how this goes.

 

[mdubs]

I'm more just shocked that someone could use such an underhanded tactic to arrange a one-on-one meeting.

I eat lunch with my co-workers who are women and men all the time one-on-one, and I've never felt like I was being dated. It's just a friendly lunch. It's the fact I was lead to believe there would be multiple people. Multiple people means it's friendly.
Also the questions where standard date fare.

Probably over thinking it, but it was super weird.

I'm not looking to date. She was cute. I'm late 20s. I also have no idea if she has a boyfriend/husband/partner.

Spoiler

Violated was an exaggeration.

 

[HardRojo]

The worst part was the goodbye. I didn't know whether to hug her (see my previous thread) or what. So I gave an awkward wave and hastily went in another direction.

You give her a peck on the cheek with one hand on her shoulder and say "See you, take care of yourself" and go about on your way, there's nothing more to it really. You blew it OP.
Edit: After reading some pages and others posts from the OP, I'm going to call BS on this, no one can be this... fuck I can't even find a word for it. I mean, not being able to say goodbye should've been the first red flag this was all BS. I don't believe you OP.

 

[Mr Git]

Her friends might've just bailed. Not sure why being alone with a person is automatically a sneaky wooing.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I hate people I swear to god

 

[MC Safety]

I do not believe I have ever seen or heard anyone say "get dated."

I imagined there'd be scientists involved checking for carbon-14 and such.

 

[Greddleok]

I told my colleagues this story at coffee break. They did not have the same reaction as gaf. They were a lot more sympathetic and telling me I was right to be confused by the interaction.

I didn't tell them I waved goodbye though.

 

[Shanlei91]

The inclusion of the cat is the perfect touch.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I feel a little violated.

 

[rokkerkory]

I think you prob make her feel even more awkward lol

 

[GreatestHits]

Dude. She was thirsty. She might even be a gaffer

 

[labx]

How dare she... to show interest in you OP. She has to be the worst human being for doing that to you (liking your company). Humans beings like her are poisonous, trying to make humam contact in an age that those sort of things are overrated. Taking advantage of you a single handsome guy (guessing), intelligent (not sure yet) and charismatic is a shady tactic because I assume you are filled up with friends both men and women.

I with you OP

Spoiler

not

I'd bet money you didn't tell the story in the same way you told it here.

 

[Zaptruder]

GAF, help this man.

There's no helping this man.

 

[Jito]

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill OP.

Show me on the doll where she touched you.

Did you keep in the violated line?

So they were polite not to laugh in your face?

 

[GreatestHits]

... fuck I can't even find a word for it. I mean, not being able to say goodbye should've been the first red flag this was all BS. I don't believe you OP.

Jesus, who are you, the FBI?

 

[HardRojo]

Jesus, who are you, the FBI?

A regular guy who can't fathom how someone would feel violated by such a situation, and not be able to say goodbye in a non-awkward way to a girl you've been talking to for an hour.
Edit: I would love to see the OP in a situation I was in about 5 years ago: I rode a 2 seat lift in Killington with a random girl and she started talking to me since she noticed I wasn't from the US (I was speaking Spanish on the phone), it was probably for ten minutes, never saw her again and nothing was awkward. Oh, and my English was worse back then.

 

[vikki]

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill OP.

OP turns doll over and unvelcroes the back to reveal a battery box. "That's where she touched me."

 

[Greddleok]

I didn't say I wasn't able to say goodbye. I said that the goodbye was awkward because I didn't know whether I should hug or whatever, so I chose the hand wave.

Sympathetic about what? That you had a nice lunch with someone?

 

[commedieu]

Hard to get op. I like your style. Keep em interested

 

[JigglesBunny]

So I'm new in this town and a girl at my gym invited me to lunch with her

When I turned up, it was just her. We also ended up talking for way longer than I would if I was eating lunch with other buddies.

The worst part was the goodbye. I didn't know whether to hug her - so I gave an awkward wave and hastily went in another direction.

Was I tricked into a date? I feel a little violated.

Her:

OP:

 

[ZackieChan]

No sure what's worse - OP's weird overthinking or the sad jellyness of some Gaffers ITT that OP had a woman talk to him/want to date him.

 

[zma1013]

Her:

OP:

Nah, it was more like this,

 

[E92 M3]

OP turns doll over and unvelcroes the back to reveal a battery box. "That's where she touched me."

 

[CrocMother]

"I wasn't prepared for this kind of interaction" is the most GAF-man thing ever.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

What dark part of the Internet did you summon that pic from?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

NeoGAF |OT| I wasn't prepared for this kind of interaction

 

[Auctopus]

Oh no, OP. You were tricked in to spending time with another human being who made no sexual advancements and tortured you with pleasant conversation.

 

[EchoChamber]

I wish I could get violated like that.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

This thread is hilarious. Keep it up GAF....lol

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

*reads thread title*
*expects tales of being out of touch with the times*

*bash head against desk*

DATED... GRRRRR

 

[InfiniteBento]

OP's "date" :

 

[Interfectum]

You should have clapped instead of waving, tbh.

 

[E92 M3]

What dark part of the Internet did you summon that pic from?

Google Images

 

[GreatestHits]

Never sneak a date on a gaffer. They WILL make a thread about it...

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Stop playing hard to get. It won't work

 

[ebullientprism]

So I'm new in this town and a girl at my gym invited me to lunch with her and her colleagues from the university's psychology department. Seemed friendly enough so I accepted.

When I turned up, it was just her. We also ended up talking for way longer than I would if I was eating lunch with other buddies. I started freaking out a little towards to end because I wasn't prepared for that kind of interaction so I decided it was time to go after about an hour of talking.

The worst part was the goodbye. I didn't know whether to hug her (see my previous thread) or what. So I gave an awkward wave and hastily went in another direction.

I'm so confused. Was I tricked into a date? I didn't ask where her friends were because I didn't want to be presumptuous. I feel a little violated.

I fucking love GAF sometimes.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

OP please talk to the girl when you see her at the gym. geez, what a missed opportunity

 

[Popparoks]

but did she tell you how to turn $500 into $5000 in a week with a "life-changing" opportunity?

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Hopefully SunhiLegend is toiling away on one of his creations

 

[commish]

Okay, this is hard for me to accept as real.

 

[SpaceWolf]

EDIT: Wrong thread.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Someone crop a fedora onto that Pocahontas byebitch.gif.

 

[jmood88]

I hate people I swear to god

There are so many people here whose thought processes baffle the hell out of me.

 

[GhostWriter24]

It's okay OP, we're going to get you through this.

 

[BigAT]

The other robots didn't think you were being weird?
