Has anybody else encountered something like this before?

Two weeks ago, I told a girl I know I would bring her a ziploc baggie of Honey Mustard Pretzels, and she says oh ok. I see her today for the first time in 2 weeks, give her the bag, and she actually acts surprised, says it's nice of you to share, then says I don't want to give you the wrong impression. I'm not looking for anything with anyone. And then I look at her and say, "2 weeks ago you said you never had them, and I told you I would bring you a baggie of them to try". She says Yeah.

Then she says, "I don't want to give you the wrong impression. I'm not looking for anything with anyone".
1. Since when is giving somebody some pretzels a form of hitting somebody up for a date?
2. What's with the sudden 180?

I never said to her I was interested in her! I was just simply befriending.

I think she may have misunderstood your gesture or had previous experiences that made her cautious about accepting gifts. Some people interpret even small acts of kindness as signs of romantic interest, especially if they're used to people approaching them that way. I can understand why you'd feel confused, though, because you were simply following through on something you said you'd do. I wouldn't take it personally. You can be kind to someone without expecting anything in return, and that's perfectly normal. 😊

I even told her that I told dating to go to hell 3 years ago. She laughed and said I don't blame you there. I just turned and stepped back into my guard shack and didn't say anything. She just looked at me as I walked away.

• 1. Since when is giving somebody some pretzels a form of hitting somebody up for a date?

If you're both at accointance level, I find her interpretation and reaction normal & expected. Because, in my eyes, a gift is a ritual between friends, family and lovers.

• 2. What's with the sudden 180?

t isn't a 180 to me, I see genuine surprise instead, from someone who didn't expect you would do what you told. Because I often heard people saying "I'll bring you this or that", but they very often forgot about it afterwards, and so did I.

[Interstate]

Just because somebody goes out of their way to do something for you doesn't necessarily mean they are into you. Some people are genuinely interested in being giving and caring.

And up until today, I thought we had become friends over the past couple of months.

... When I consider a swan, I think of it as white. That's my expectation and it must be a very common one. I'm aware that black swans exist, yet they don't come to my mind. So, swans aren't necessarily white, no, yet I'll keep believing that, instinctively, they are. I think it's normal...

She might be a friend for you, but are you a friend for her? I mean it's not easy to be sure at the beginning, time usually tells me if friendship was going both ways. And even then, between men and women getting to know each other, I always assume there is ambiguity to handle until it gets finally settled...

[Interstate]

I don't get what is so normal about her reaction. She knew 2 weeks ago I was going to give it to her. So she had advanced notice, it's not like she had no idea I was going to do it.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I don't know what to add, I just know that, given how you described the context, I would expect such reaction of hers

[Interstate]

If somebody says to me they are going to get this or that to me, I wouldn't act surprised when they get it to me. That's my point.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t like bipolar girls that’s ridiculous all that from her just over a bag of cheap pretzels

I even told her that I told dating to go to hell 3 years ago. She laughed and said I don't blame you there. I just turned and stepped back into my guard shack and didn't say anything. She just looked at me as I walked away.

Weird girl

[Interstate]

I'm considering when she comes through the outbound lane that I work in, take her gate pass from her, open the gate and just walk away without saying a word to her.

[Iron_Man]

Then she’ll get out of the car and say something

[Interstate]

She's a big rig driver.

[Iron_Man]

Be careful she’s gonna get angry

[Interstate]

She has to be careful. Whatever she says or does is a reflection on the company she drives rig for. Plus, I can report her to my supervisor, and she can get herself fired.

[Iron_Man]

Ok….

That's the new thing that girls and women are doing. Every time a male talks to them, they think they are so great that every guy in town wants them when actually they don't. These women need to back off and stop believing that every man alive wants you when y'all aren't such a good catch anymore!
There are even videos about how to practice saying "I already have a boyfriend" when a guy gets too close to them or, God forbid, they talk to you Princess! Not! 🙂‍↔️

[Interstate]

I've known her for 2 months now.

[sage2021]

It's a shame that you can't even have a friendly conversation and share some snacks with the opposite sex anymore. Man, they turn you down when you don't even ask. That pretty darn conceited and egotistical if you ask me.

Women aren't all that anymore from what I have heard and see. ✋🏼 They can talk to your hand!!

[Nikki1989]

Nope. I wouldn't even give a second thought. Trivial nonsense.

[Interstate]

Do you think it's just head games. Because that's what I'm suspecting.

[Anonymous]

Nope

[Opinion Owner]

Need a tad more info lol

[Interstate]

That's all that was said.
