Search Results: giving a second chance

Me and my friend are having a bit of debate over something that happened last year. allow me to give a short run down:

1: I was extremely unconfident and had poor social skills

2: I liked a girl, and she found out by someone else

3: she decides to "play a joke her friend told her to do" by giving me a guy's number and telling the guy to text me pretending to be her

4: I find out and pretty much forget any possible futures with her, as well as limit contact with her to a minimal

Now my friend argues that because I stared at this girl often(I had poor social skills and very unconfident), and barely talked to her, that I creeped/weirded her out and that's why she did this.

My friend argues that that's more motivation to try again but be as confident as possible

I argue that nobody should ever give someone that plays them a second chance. Sure I was socially awkward back then(thank god I'm not now), and sure I did give her the wrong impression, but nobody like that deserves a second chance.
