Frozen in Carbonite
When I was in highschool, I was in Spanish class with a girl who had a crush on me. I loved this class because I had it with a few friends and the teacher was cool and I made a lot of jokes – I was unpopular until my Junior year so this was all new to me.
So, one day, I went to class and was joking around and Spanishing it all up like I typically did. Then this girl who I had talked to but wasn’t really friends with had a note passed to me. She sat across the room, so like a dozen people were involved in passing this note to me.
I opened the folded paper and read, “Are you going to see the new Star Wars movie?”. I had seen the old ones but wasn’t really interested in them that much (I’ve rewatched them since then and love them).
But at this point I didn’t like the movies so I said, “No!”, and gave her a look like she was stupid for even asking me such a ridiculous question. Everyone looked at her and apparently knew what was going on. She kinda slumped down in her chair and said, “nevermind,” really sheepishly.
It wasn’t until after college that I figured out that she was trying to ask me out on a date and I rejected her in front of the entire class. I feel horrible now. I totally would have gone with her, she was pretty cool. Ladies, you have to spoon feed us when you’re interested! Story credit: Reddit / ChesterHiggenbothum
