I just cannot, for the life of me, see why you asked to get her a sandwich? I mean, why sort of servant behavior was that?
Anyway, a much better thing could have been to just tell her that she's getting lunch with you, the next time you go to that place.
And her reply could simply be translated as, "Sorry. I'm not interested."
I agree 100% with you, Don. But niasmith, don't get discouraged by any of this. What you've done is one goof up. I understand, because before I ever even heard of game, I was exactly the same way.
It comes from a desire to please. You and I were both taught as children by our mothers to "be nice to people", and make sure we "make people happy", as though it's some part of a big game, where if you make someone happy, they'll make you happy.
There's three problems with this:
1) You will be miserable living your life like this, just SPAM what you have for others, and getting nothing in return. Because I know the frame of mind you're working from, I know this may sound insensitive now, but hopefully you'll learn to understand it: You need to only be concerned with yourself. Find what you want, and take it. Whether it's success, girls, money, happiness, whatever, you will find the ability to do so nowhere but in yourself.
2)Women are not attracted to this. They want a man who they know can take care of himself, and knows how to push when he gets pushed, so that they know he can take care of them.
3) It's just another form of gross manipulation. If you really think about what you're doing, you're trying to bribe her to like you, or if you examine it closer, you are trying to
pay for sex with your money and with your energy.
I seem to have broken the scope of your question, and I'll get off my soap box, now, but I have been where you are. And while it all looks likes sunshine in that world, it will drain you, and only make
other people happy.
Don't try to manipulate her. Simply tell her what you want. "You and I are going to lunch after class today." She'll respect that a whole hell of a lot more.
Good luck!
