busted out laughing in class. now i can't stop. I need to leave the room
 
Progression of the relationship:

Date 3:

"I bet you dinner that Orlando Bloom was in Star Wars"

Date 20:
"Hey my parents are sitting at that table!"

Date 50:

"There's this wedding happening and I really don't want to go alone. Lets go as friends!"

Date 4, she'll be sneaking in one of these moves.

Edit: Still no confirmation if it's anything more than platonic or whether she tricked me or not.

It is now year 3 of my sojourn as sole research representative of my synthetic peers. I have conducted numerous experiments that seek to elucidate the mechanism by which neuronal mappings and hormonal pathways elicit novel signalling pathways within the frontal cortex and limbic system. The human species appear to call this "romance" and "crush", but its significance is still not well understood despite the wide body of research literature.

As an automaton, the latest results are puzzling to say the least. The latest subject has seemed to express communications apropos of a typical working relationship, but defy the expectations with sudden requests for solitary excursions into culinary cuisine not unlike "dating". Further follow-up experiments support this supposition: observe in Anecode #1, panel 2 that the subject requests instructions in pull-ups and the desire to engage in 1-1 workouts.

The implications of the results are profound to say the least, and certainly merit further investigation.
 
Those crafty wo-men. First Adam got tricked by Eve, then Samson by Delilah. Now OP by this gym girl. If she offers you Apple of the Eden, run away for your life, OP! Because you'll be nekkid with her before you know it.
 
Well... If you like the girl, I suggest you text her quickly and said you enjoyed the lunch and ask her out to dinner. Because don't waste that opportunity because she caught you off-guard, dude.
This.

If she wasn't actually interested, she'll just turn you down. But if she is, and you are, then go for it.

Come on man.... Really? When I was single I would have died if I had that sort of luck... You are way over thinking this..
 
Maybe OP is dealing with this kind of girl? That is, if his story of complete social awkwardness is true after all.

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.
Should have gone for the Chilean kiss, it always works
 
I'm going to go against the tide and actually think the OP is killing it with this girl. He's got her roped in with his uniqueness based on the fact that she obviously wants to see him again.

He's telling us his side of the story with his non-confidence having perspective. But what she sees is a mysterious badass motherfucker that ain't got time for hugs. He waves and disappears to do gangster shit.

He's clueless. But what's important is she's intrigued. Good job OP. YOu can tell all the jealous nerds in here wishing they had some girl pining after them like you have.

So you're saying OP is an anime protagonist?

From the girl's perspective, he may seem aloof and confident. Like he has places to go and things to do.

Maybe that makes her even more madly in love with him?

Maybe she is interpreting his cluelessness as a challenge or aloofness. He is portraying himself as a Jerry Lewis robot of human awkwardness, but maybe externally he is acting normal.

If arrogance can be confused with confidence, why can't backwardness be confused with...something positive?
 
I don't get this attitude. Go find a date, then? Why be jelly of OP?

He got it handed to him, thus people being jelly. He might be awkward but he might also be handsome, there are girls like that, that do not realize that they are more attractive than they think they are. Has OP ever posted a pic of himself?
 
I feel really bad for OP because in some years OP will look back on this and realize a possible relationship fell right into their lap all nice and with no stress or anything in the first date and OP instead of rising to the occasion just turned and practically ran away. This is one of those things you kick yourself over repeatedly over the years until you're an old man and all you can do is chuckle and laugh at how ridiculous you were in your youth.

Haha, I can relate.

"Why does ______ always act so unusually awkward around me? I know, must be because I make them deeply uncomfortable... even though they seem to be finding any excuse to spend time around me. I should just stop talking to them and try to avoid them, that will make them feel better!"

*a few weeks later*

"Hey, it's _______ - wait, why does she look so mad at me? I've been leaving her alone like she wanted?"

Oh, teenage me, you were such a delicate flower.

There's a balance between being too obliviously overbearing such that you creep people and out and projecting your self-loathing so hard you subconsciously torpedo every potential relationship. The classic line "you have to learn to love yourself (which includes self-improvement!) before you love someone else" is so, so true.

Meh. That jelliness shows less self confidence than OP, even.

I challenge you to a wave-off!

I'll shut you down with a deceptively-skinny vertical selfie
 
I wish you OP, many nights of you playing with yourself while shedding the tears for lubricant of what could had been.
 
Granted, my first relationship as a teenager was with someone rather creepy who hovered around me for whom I didn't have the guts to say that they made me regularly uncomfortable, and so I guilted myself into feeling forced to date them. That was a mistake. From there, I projected those negative feelings onto other people and just assumed other people felt the same way I did, which is unhealthy.

If you've had some negative past experience that's left you with a warped perspective, try to look at things from an objective viewpoint: pretend you're setting someone else up on a date and what advice you'd give someone in your situation.
