Girl in Relationship Question

Nikki Valentine hit it on the head. Don't avoid the store if you typically go there, but confronting her about your confusion is not the thing to do. If she says hi, by all means be friendly, but don't dwell on the crazy misunderstandings of your past and move on to new things. Who really cares why she didn't follow up with you, but by bringing it up, you look desperate and appear to be a stalker. Most employees at stores and restaurants are very nice and communicative, because that's their job. If there was a misunderstanding on your part, it's best to let it go and just remain a cordial customer.
 
Dude, if this girl didn't friend you on Facebook yet, then this is a total lost cause for you. Time to move on player ... :pimpdaddy
 
she's clearly not into you...i can tell even from your version of how she responded to going to a show that she was weakly going along with it so you would go away without her having to be mean to you and that she never intended to go with you. she might have said "oh yeah, that would be fun to do sometime...", followed up in her head by "...with people who are already my friends." drop it and move on, you killed any chances of starting anything with her by continuing to try and talk to her when she obviously doesn't want to. my advice.
 
For Harley Spencer:
Let me ask you something because you hit some things right, but I forgot to mention on part. She did say it would be fun, not like a date. But we agreed to see one band, I was on a trip to Virgina and I had to cancel 2 days before. She still went took some pictures. She put them on facebook and we kind of talked on facebook about the night. We talked about other bands that was cool like Bury Your Dead. I was still away so I invited her to see another band, but I sent it on facebook, she never got back with me on that. So when the time came I invited her again 2 days before the show on facebook not personally. She did not make it to the show, and did not get back with me. 3 days later on facebook she posted she was going to see another band and if anyone wants to come out and see her act goofy come on down. I was at work so I could not make it. Now I am not saying she was asking me personally to come down, she might have been referring to another guy. Should I still keep trying, there is a friends band that is playing in 2 weeks. Should I invite her to it? If so facebook or personally? I don't want to go in her store and make her feel uncomfortable what do you think. Since you have done this before. Yeah I know stupid question, but she is worth it if she might like me.

Not to hijack the question intended to Harley, but I just wanted to ask while reading your recent post... how did you two become facebook friends out of curiosity?

Besides all the band talk and what not, have you all ever actually talked about anything else? Yeah, it's a great ice breaker or small talk (whatever you want to call it), but there's surely got to be more outside that for things to potentially (hypothetically) flourish - otherwise, it's friends forever or acquaintances at best. Regardless of what happens - just keep your friendly cool - never criticize/demean the other as everyone else echoed in the previous replies. You can go ahead and vent off to your close friends or places like this if you'd like...

p.s. tracking and keeping tabs of somebody's social life media (e.g. facebook in this instance) is a surefire way to la-la (crazy) land with yourself... you'll end up making too many assumptions... miscalculated at best of who that person really might be... obviously you're still interested/infatuated (lightly put) about her - that said, everybody has their own boundaries and level of comfort... do you know any of her friends by chance to get some additional insight?

Honestly, there are too many variables on giving full-on advice... from what you mentioned however, many of the member responses here were from either pattern recognition and/or experience... only you in the end have to go with the (your gut) instinct... that's of course after reading some of the comments... no two people are textbook cases; to close on that thought.

Heck, you seem to enjoy these concerts - so just go do that... and who fucking knows, You Might actually come across (by chance and luck) another person you like - planning and calculating things to pick and win a person over become more frustrating than anything - as cliche as it is in such a romantic topic as this, good things happen when you least expect it...

The story now changes. You are Facebook friends. Why she gave you her number I don't know. If she doesn't respond to you by FB or phone then she isn't interested in you. Just having more people at a show that know her.

exactly...if she were interested in you personally you'd be able to tell (i hope). you're stuck in the "this guy i know who enjoys similar music to me-zone"

She may have forgotten to respond to your message seeing as it was such short notice, or maybe she wasn't sure what she wanted to do yet so she didn't respond and then ended up deciding to do the other show without messaging you about it.

It sounds like she's either not interested because she's ignoring you, or she's not aware of how you feel about her beyond friends/acquaintances so she isn't too worried about it. You could go ahead and invite her to the concert, or better yet, invite her as well as some friends and tell her she can bring a friend if she wants. Her making an announcement on facebook that she's going to a show and openly inviting whoever to come tells me that she likes to be social. Or you could forget about the show altogether and simply invite her out for dinner and a movie. Or just dinner. Or just a movie. Something that screams "date." I used to go to shows of the sorts you're mentioning and it would almost never be an atmosphere that I'd bring a guy and call it a date. In fact I even held my own show once for my 18th birthday, organized it all myself, had 15 bands come play, and two different guys I was interested in were invited. One showed up, the other one stayed home.

In my opinion, the fastest route to take here is to go up to her in person, or call her instead of text her, so that she absolutely has to respond. She can hide behind texts and facebook messages for days on end and then eventually hope you forgot. But if you're in person or on the phone, there's no hiding.

Maybe because there were no social media options when I was "on the hunt", I have a really hard time understanding some of the dating issues these days. Is it not cool to just speak to a girl face to face these days to see where she's coming from? For those who have grown up with it, I guess I can see some value in interacting on Facebook or Twitter. But at some point, you're going to have to have the social skills to actually interact with a member of the opposite sex one on one, yeah? :dunno:

Call me old... call me crazy, but if I'm curious about what a girl is thinking, I just walk up to her and ask her. If she walks away or acts odd, I take that as a definite sign that she's not interested and I move on. As my uncle told me after I broke up with my fiancee (and got all mopey and sad), "the great thing about women is, God makes a brand new batch every single day". :)
 
She works at Hot Topic? Go back, but this time wear an obscure metal band shirt, skinny jeans and mention Blood on the Dance Floor.

Don't mention Blood on The Dance Floor it'll make you sound like a bitch, mention metalcore bands like Atreyu, Asking Alexandria, Bullet For My Valentine, and bands like that, but don't mention Alexisonfire it makes people who go to Hot Topic cry and assholes like me laugh. STDiva had it right Go back, wear metal band shirt, skinny jeans, wear a fedora, and some hipster glasses and you would look like my neighbor he gets the poontang. If that doesn't work just go to a corner in the mall and sing depressing songs by The Cure really loudly with a bottle of vodka if she runs out of the store hit her up with some kickass poetry.

I've just pictured myself wearing a metal band shirt, skinny jeans, a fedora, and some hipster glasses. Creapy to say the least. Like no one would sit next to me on a crowded bus and would rather stand.
 
You probably have a really small penis.

You couldn't wear that, Bob? I could.

And I'd be holding my Colt Anaconda to my head when I did. But with my luck, they'd bury my (headless) body in that goofy get up and encourage the mourners to laugh at me! :mad:

Okay, we get rid of the hat and do that pointed up hair thing. Let's see how the family takes to it at Thanksgiving and go from there.
