Revolutionary War

El Conquistador

I was sitting in American Heritage, just minding my own business, when all of a sudden this super cute girl sits to my left. Booyah. 

I tried to talk to her a few times during the lecture, but I could never really get the ball rolling. So after the lecture I asked her if she was planning on watching the required movie on campus after class. Obvious way to spend time with her, right? Wrong. She said she owned the movie and was going to watch it at home sometime... 

"This is where you invite me over to watch it with you," I thought. 

... 

Nada. 

So instead, I asked her if I could borrow it from her sometime. I'll admit, I should have just asked her if she was single and then asked her out, but that's not always as easy to do as I'd like. 

She gave me her number and we were on our separate ways. She seemed a bit shy, so when I texted her later that day I took a soft, flirty approach - and then she surprise attacked me. This is our text conversation: 

Me: 

Hey Jen, it's [El Conquistador]. We sat next to each other in American Heritage today. When are you planning on warching le movie? (That's French for "the movie" :) ) 
Her: 

probably later this week El dorko (That's Spanish for you're lame) lol 
Me: 

Ha ha ha! Wow! Already with the disparaging comments! That was quick. Usually I don't start insulting people until I've at least sat next to them twice 
Her: 

Well i'm not like most people so this is how it is 
Me: 

I can see that! Sassy isn't a quality most people have in such large quantities. 
Me: 

You're from Idaho, right? 
Her: 

Creep much?? 
Me: 

Area code. And makes sense. Home of the Sassquatch. :) 
Her: 

I'm afraid that was the dumbest comeback i've ever heard 
Me: 

Ha ha ha! wow, remind me not to talk to you again around this time next month. 
Her: 

Oh I see we have a wise guy here. he thinks he knows about the ladies 
Me: 

I'm afraid that was the dumbest comeback I've ever heard 
Me: 

Ok, I've had enough of this. Either one of us really likes super abrasive conversations, or we got off to a record-breakingly bad start. I'm assuming the later. Let's start over. Hi, I'm elC. You're obviously an intelligent young woman and I've actually enjoyed our conversation to this point, so I'd love to be friends. Nice ones though. Let me know how you feel about that. 



Talk about drama! After that I never heard from her again. And good thing. 

What an unpleasant woman.
