Was this an alpha response or not?

So I'm in the library last night. A girl in one of my classes calls me up asking if she could see my syllabus to get the homework for the next day. I tell her I'm in the library and can't give it to her right then so I would give it to her when I got back to the dorms (she lives across the hall). She starts complaining and wants it nowwwwwwwww (she's infamous for this). I tell her again that I'll give it back to her when I get back to the dorm and hang up before she can respond.

Was that alpha or was that still too nice? Or am I looking into this way too much (I'm still trying to figure out what "alpha" even is). Some people on these forums probably would think I'm only alpha if I demanded that she come over to the library herself to get the syllabus and that anything else is being a nice guy? I feel like my response was still "nice" but I wasn't giving in and walking back to the dorms right away to fulfill her demand.

I think you're good. Sounds like you're sending the message "I don't want to put up with your ****, I will help you when it is not an inconvenience for me, now leave me the **** alone."

She knows you're not willing to bend over for her and that you don't really care about her, both good in my book!

Now go print up a fake syllabus and teach her a lesson.

Too much work. I feel like that would show I care enough to actually make a fake one.

Forgot to add that when I got back to the dorms, I chilled in my room for probably another 90 minutes before she finally texted me, wondering where I was. Only then did I actually give her the syllabus.

I know this is not some awesome alpha mood but it does help me understand exactly what "alpha" is and that will help me later on.

I woulda told her to come and get it if she needs it so bad now lol

Don't go to her dorm to give her the syllabus. Let her come find you to get it.

We live across the hall from each other.

you could have just convinced her to come to you without coming across as a prick.

congratulation on not getting your **** wet.
