I make my own luck in relationships. Being jelly of someone's missed opportunity doesn't help you at all.
I'm packing on the pounds as we speak.
Let's have lunch. My friends will be coming too.

Yeah I agree.
Has the classic "hey, do you want to hang out with me and my friends" -> "oh, coincidentally no one else showed up so I guess it's just you and me~~" date bait switcheroo ever actually worked? For anyone? I've only ever heard people think they were being clever and then being unsurprisingly disappointed. Personally, it's such a silly notion that their intentions wouldn't occur to me and I would just assume that their friends actually did have something to do unless the remaining person was being really coy about it, in which case they might as well have just asked me out in the first place.
Strikes me as something silly and unnecessary. A girl you can feel comfortable with, OP!

Underrated post.
"dated" "violated" Do yourself as favor and slap yourself a couple times OP.

Women will use inderict ways to go out with a man when I was in college a girl used a line from waking life to take me on a date.
Edit: the ant line.

Ah, yeah this part is probably true.
As a former socially awkward guy, this has happened to me a lot.
I would always shy away from things like this and girls would later tell me they thought I was a mean mysterious badass motherfucker.
Of course you have to look the part for this to work, but chances are OP is a good looking fella.

She's trustworthy. It's hard to directly ask someone on a date, especially for a girl who generally isn't expected to put out like that. So no big deal, but her friends may have just bailed too. Who knows.
Just roll with it, man. It should be pretty easy to see if she wants more considering you have her number now and plans to meet up. You'll know pretty soon one way or another my friend.

It reads to me like she's doing the human equivalent of baboon "presenting". As in, it's that obvious that she wants your flute. For the sake of all of OT (especially you), I urge you to explore this relationship fully before dismissing her as untrustworthy. And provide daily updates.
Also, thank you for not abandoning the thread. You've had quite the roasting and you've dealt with it like a boss.

Good god. Hopefully the girl realizes how much of a beta OP is and stops wasting her time.

If you decide you want something more, text her and ask her out.

not sure she is 'trustworthy'?!
hooo boy.
hooo boy.
Just nut up and ask her if you think you want more. And don't overthink the previous meeting. I mean if you really want you can try some U N D E R H A N D E D T A C T I C S on her and give a taste of her own medicine.
I hope you realize how stupid all of that sounds

a friend of mine got dated once. he's still kind of messed up from it. it's scary to think that it can happen to anybody.

You've been a good sport ITT, but you have to realize how ridiculous this notion of her not being trustworthy is. Even if she met you under false pretenses, give me a break. Using terms like underhanded and violated makes me think you're kind of a drama queen, or you are desperate for excuses NOT to date her.

Oh my god, that friend zone thread might be the greatest and saddest thing I've read on this site. I was staying up to watch a couple episodes of Orange is the New Black, but I can't stop reading.
There's not enough gifs in the world for my reaction.
I don't get how it's ridiculous. I like people to be straight forward and not play games. Now I feel like I've been drawn into the game because I don't want to be the one who says "let's date" first, when she could have just done that!
From my position, if I break down and ask her out directly, then I've given in. I need her to be straight forward, then I'll be happy.
Honestly, I've found most of the responses pretty amusing. It seemed super important and difficult in the moment but this thread has let me laugh at myself, which I really appreciate. The only ones I find weird are when people assume I just talk about video games. What gives people that impression?! Just because it's gaf? Everyone here on on gaf...
You must really hate surprise birthday parties
See, here's the thing. This is never ever going to work. It's over before it's begun. You're already convinced that she's lied to you. You literally don't trust the girl and it's possible she's done nothing to deserve that from you.
She may have masterminded a devious sneak attack date tho. Clearly, she must be a sociopath.
Ever since the accident, yeah. You shouldn't have tried to surprise me, Gail, you shouldn't have fucking done it.

Are you victim shaming him?

Don't worry, if she invited you, she's probably okay with you being a bit nervous or odd.

This girl is obviously a master manipulator. Run, OP, run.
For her sake.

Considering you're the only person in the thread that DOESN'T think you're acting ridiculous, maybe it's time to open your mind and accept that you're wrong. You need to chillax with all this talk of games and stuff. Feels like you're losing your grip on reality.
She could also not want to date.

So you expect people to have standards you're not having yourself?
Go easy on the paranoïa and start being straightforward yourself, if that's something you cherish so much.

Yeah, that's the one. It was when I was in college, I think my senior year, she was working on her PhD. We would pass each other in the philosophy department and smile at each other but never talked or anything until she found me on MySpace and sent me that line from the movie. I had just seen it too so she won me over. We ended up fooling around for a bit but nothing serious.
I'd have to agree.

I think OP needs to hire a lawyer to draw up a Terms of Dating Contract. It's the only way he'll be sure she's not some kind of succubus out to trick him.
