Guys, a little help here. what went wrong?

[Ganondorf]

so i went to this campus event today after class, when i noticed this cutie standing all by herself. so i approached her


I dont exactly remember the whole convo but here's some

me: hey, I'm Ganondorf. and you new here
Her: Hi! I'm HB8 nice to meet you. Yea, i'm from out of town. my friend brought me here
M: oh that's cool, WHo's your friend?
H: oh she's in the event, she's up there, but i didn't want t squeeze through all these people lol
H: I'm from cleveland. about 2 hours from here
M: yea i know. my ex lives up there. i go see her
H: oh, do you still talk?
M: yea, we do. we're just not together due to work, but we will be soon

(some jibberish about college, work, and my ex)

H: lol so wat's your major?
M: i'm a nursing student. and you?
H: Early childhood education.i love kids so i want to be a teacher
( some jokes and laughing)

Right then and there some dudes come up and talk to us about some events on campus. Kinda messed me up, but watev

We continued talking until the event was over. She had mentioned earlier that her student access card was lost. Then her friend found it a guess, so she bolted away while saying she'd be right back.

I waited for about 5 min, and still saw her standing up front talking. she comes back in my direction, but then turns around quickly and goes another way. she never came back, and i saw her leaving, so i just left too.
wat went wrong here?
To clear some things up, i was not trying to get with this girl, just merely trying to talk to and get to know her and maybe make a new friend

Why were you waiting for her to come back? Women get sidetracked all the time. In fact, I'm a little surprised that she even made the attempt to talk to you again before changing her mind. Nothing against you, it's just that women in general aren't known for taking the initiative.

A better way to handle this would have been to strike up a conversation with someone else as soon as she left. That way, if she didn't come back, no big loss. And if she did come back, she would have proof that you're a socially valuable person. It works better if you open some HBs, but really, talking with anybody would have worked.

I forgot to mention

I did talk to alot of other people, lol not just her

and while i waited i did talk to a few more people, just introducing myself

ubt she just never came back. and i'm sure she saw me walking around, but never broke away from her convos to come and talk again.

There's nothing that says you can only open her once. Why not find her 15 minutes later and start up the conversation again?
I'm trying to get away from canned material myself, but Mystery's line seems like it would have been perfect here. After you've started the convo again, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends? It's the polite thing to do." And if you feel you can get away with it, "Geez is she always like this? How do you guys roll with her?"

 

[Mr. Me]

wat went wrong here?

This:

M: yea I know. my ex lives up there. I go see her
H: oh, do you still talk?
M: yea, we do. we're just not together due to work, but we will be soon

You told her you're hooking up with your ex soon.

Why do you think she purposefully asked you if you still are in contact with your ex?

ya good job telling her about you and your EX. anyone could have told u that

Yea, i thought the ex might've been a bad idea too. I thought that maybe i'd make her feel like i was just some horny dude trying to use her, but it didn't seem like an issue until she flaked out like that. Maybe she did think i was just after her Vag, although i honestly wasn't trying to hook up with her, just maybe make a new friend who was thinking abut joining the club as well

Also, me and My ex like, Just broke up, only due to our busy schedules too, nothing else

and we do still act like we are together and talk, and we do plan on getting back together at the end of the first semester

so i was just being honest with her, if she couldn't take it then oh well.

also, do you guys think i should have stuck around so long?
