Alright, I have a somewhat puzzling situation on my hands. Let me explain what happened to me so that I might hear your opinions on the subject, I'm overanalyzing everything...so I'm worthless there.
First let me tell you about myself. I'm seventeen, an inch over six feet tall, and (I don't mean to sound arrogant) am above average in physical appearance.
Girls generally like me because I'm quiet and look good. Then they get to know me. I'm friendly in a friend way. It's bad, bad thing.
For this reason, I actively try to maintain an aloof, ambiguous nature towards attractive girls I don't know. Now to the experience itself...
I'm on vacation now.
Yesterday, I was reading a book down by the pool for a few hours (I am so bronze now, I love it) before going to the beach to snorkel for awhile. When I came back to my spot at the pool I notice three very attractive girls laying to my right.
So I played it cool. I dried myself off (the one on the far right saw me, I think she liked it lol), sat down, and began reading my book. They seemed to be chatty, but once I was comfortable the far right one (an eight on a scale from one to ten) pointed me out. Whispers were heard, I didn't take my eyes off the pages of my book despite being very aware of the chatter, and the girl directly to my right pumped her arm and muttered "yes." She was, in my opinion, the most attractive of the bunch. An eight and one half easily, probably a nine.
So I'm feeling pretty good. I remain carelessly reading (while still kind of tense deep down) and play it cool. This is my first question: was that a good decision or a bad one? What should I have done instead?
Regardless, she (the 8.5-9) asked me how I liked the book I was reading. I said that I had just started and (after small talk about the book) later asked (because it's part of my homework for an AP class) if they had the same summer homework that I did (I was hoping it was a small world, haha...) Anyways, they said they didn't and that they read it throughout their Engish year. Ages were exchanged casually (I asked if they were entering their senoir year. They're a year younger than I am) as well as location (They're from a nearby island...yikes!) I'm remarkably smooth when I want to be.
Anyways, from here on out they discussed what games they should play. This was about the time I managed to control the uncontrollable and (with effort) managed to take my focus off of the pretty ladies. I read. I later tuned in to their game out of boredom of the book (family in Africa, not a exactly a printed rollercoaster...) It turns out that they're intelligent as well. Go figure (and they discussed classes, I got the feeling they were showing off for me.)
So the game involves choosing a letter with a word in mine and everyone else does likewise but whoever has the last letter that spells a word, loses. So the object is to make longer words or choose letters that make very few words to corner competition.
Anyways, I noticed that the one nearest to me was goofy and carefree as well. I was pretty much sold for her, they noticed my interest (I laughed when one of them said something hilarious and inapropriate, but amusing all the same) and they asked me if I wanted to play. I said yes.
So we played. Originally they thought I was above their level (and I probably was) but I had to help their pretty faces figure out the puzzles and gave numerous hints. So when I lost (I spelled HORSE), the game stopped. What's that mean?
Anyways, it soon became cold and a strong breeze swept rain at them.
(I was so disappointed in God at the time...how often does Maui become too cold to be outside at 5:00 PM?)
A few minutes passed as they used towels for blankets and complained about the weather. (WHY GOD! WHY!)
So they had to leave. They said bye in a very flirtatious way, and said they wanted to see me the next day (today) and I promised them a rematch. Needless to say, I felt good. I was hopeful. Now here are where my problems start...
First, remember that the one of the far right (the eight) saw me without my hat and glasses. I put them on when I settled down to the pool and she (continued to) check[ed] me out before pointing me out to her friends.
The blonde (in the middle, probably a seven and one half) didn't (apparently) see me without them nor did the hotty next to me.
So I figured that the one on the far right (the eight) REALLY liked what she saw, the one in the middle (at the time) was somewhat interested, and the one next to me was very interested.
I liked the one next to me. Strange, but I did. She hot, intelligent, and goofy.
So, I'm feeling good. I go to sleep and wake up thinking about the cutest girl's gorgeous green-blue eyes (probably contacts, but I don't care.)
Then God strikes again. I feel like Job.
So I'm eating breakfest and my contacts start folding (overused) and I didn't bring extras. So blindness makes me feel loads less confident. I hate being unaware of my surroundings (killing my teeny morsel of spatial intelligence) or even myself (in the mirror lol.)
So I feed the contacts to the fish. Yes, I know. I'm a bad person. I believe in karma now.
Anyways, I went down to the pool area and was eager (**** me, I know, that shouldn't happen) for them to arrive while not expecting them to come for another hour.
A bit later I went back to the room, came back, and noticed the blonde girl walking in my aisle (towards my seat) heading toward (or past it turns out) me. Remember, I didn't have sunglasses, a hat, or contacts on. Luckily I made a solid guess and sent her a smile. She didn't smile back (or so my blind eyes registered) which unnerved me. I generally smile at strangers and they smile back lol...I chalked it up to the contacts, or lack there of, and my actions being belated.
So she walked past but the two cute ones (the eight and the nine) stopped and had a conversation while glancing at me. I didn't pick up what they said. So I made a bee-line for my bench, sat down, and read.
I felt a bit akward and unnerved. A feeling I maintained throughout the day. Anyways, I actually tried to avoid them (yeah, I'm a bit shy, it's a problem) and would frequently get in the pool (or out of when they got in, but not right away, I think I was pretty subtle) or go snorkeling.
Eventually I was in the pool and the nine said, "Hi Kevin! I couldn't recognize you without your hat or glasses!"
I responded by saying that I smiled at her friend (the blonde), received a wierd look, and backed off (with a smile of course.) She laughed, I laughed, I went under water. Mistake. I see it. What should I have done? But, regardless, I got out and continued reading.
Still lacking the confidence I had the previous day, I wasn't sure what was going on in their heads (I overanalyze everything.) They got out and sat to the bench closest to me (their were people around me, a lady actually that I talked to, but I'll get their in a second.) The three girls sat on two benches talking, I kept reading.
I thought it might mean something, but then again there was a shortage of benches so I remained cautious.
They got in the pool a few times, I played the same game of avoidance (even when I'm in with them I didn't approach them...don't know why.)
When I was out (and they were in) the lady asked me, "You talked to them." (I thought she said "him" because I was talking to a young child about skin boarding, that was a nice joke and good conversation) and continued to spectate that I was probably around their age. I asked her if she was her mother and she said no, I filled in quickly that she was simply an observer, good laughs.
So, my question is...Why did she feel the need to talk to me about a few words with those girls I played games with for a rather long time the previous day. Did I seem that shy that she had to congradulate me for talking to them. FRICK! If she noticed it as a spectator, I can't imagine the girls not noticing it...
So that's likely a turn-off...
Anyways, some guy behind me offered them three benches because his party was leaving. They said thanks and sat behind me. They started to play some celebrity game, they asked if I wanted to play. I said no politely (I don't know enough about celebrities) and later reaized I should have said yes, lost, and kept the conversation going.
They later said that they were going to the hotel's gym or something similar. I was trying rather hard to be aloof and not pay them any attention. They left and said their good-byes. I said adios (a habit I have when I'm nervous.)
Haven't seen them since. I'm confused. I need help. I need it now.
