Why would a girl call me over to sit next to her on the bleachers and then not say a single word?

This still confuses me years later.

We were in high school gym class and the whole class was sitting on the bleachers. I was maybe two rows above this girl. Out of nowhere she calls me over to come sit by her. I get up and go sit next to her.

As soon as I sit down, one of the guys says, “I see you.

Then … nothing. Me and her didn’t say a single word to each other. We just sat there quietly until class continued.

I still don’t get it. Why call someone over just to sit next to them and not talk at all?

Anyone else ever have a moment like this? What do you think was going on?

If years have passed, then you should let it go. I say this mainly because I don’t believe any of our answers will truly suffice. We may give you things to think about, but I don’t believe our takes on the situation will put your curiosity to fully to rest — only she can do that. Plus it’s such a unique situation, very truly limited to her and how she felt at the time. So unless you somehow connect with her in current time and you were able to ask about that within some conversation, then it’s best to just move on.

I would have told her every bad joke I know... till she asked me to go away instead...

I would assume that she expected you to begin the conversation.

You should have taken the lead and started the conversation.

You should have asked her out on a date
