So I attended a professional networking happy hour at a local lounge a couple days ago and this HB8's been on my mind since.. I was talking to a group of people I met and noticed HB8 talking to another guy in the same group but glancing at me a few times before walking away. About 10 minutes later I'm talking to a different group and she approaches someone she knows in my group and we get introduced so I'm pretty happy.

For some apparent reason, every time I asked her a general question about herself, she'll give me a really cold ambiguous answer. For example, I asked her which part of the Bay Area she's from and she gives me this attitude like she's too good to tell me and responds "just around the bay..." She did the same when I asked her about her career. (keep in mind this is a professional networking event so these are the general questions that people were really open to.. also wasn't sure how well negging would do in such an environment as well so I was pretty polite the whole time).

Anyway, after a few questions I get tired of her attitude and I completely stopped talking and just stood there and looked away and for some reason she just stood there as well and looked around like she was expecting me to continue talking. This awkward tension lasted about 30 seconds but felt more like 2 minutes. Only after a little while she goes well... it was nice to meet you and i go likewise.

Now, what's bothering me isn't the fact that I didn't get a number. But I just wanted to know.. Why was she giving me such an attitude when she kept on looking at me in the first place? Was this a game she was playing? what should I have done?

I don't think it was your fault man. she couldve just had a bad day or something might have been wrong with her.

We're all humans and we don't act the same every day.

you should have just gave her iods.

just because girls gives us attitudes doesnt mean its always our fault.

Actually yeah, I was gonna say, "Oh she's probably just not worth talking to in general," then realised I've had days like these as well, so benefit of the doubt, etc. Either way, burdens not on you to be super nice if she's not giving anything back, even if she's just having a bad day.

What was her tone of voice and her facial expressions? She may have just been playing elusive with her answers to get you intrigued. If she was saying it with an actual attitude and looked repulsed by you, then yeah she was being a bitch. But if she had a neutral tone of voice and wasn't showing much expression in her face, it sounds like she was using a bit of Mystery Method to get you to ask more questions about her.

I wanted to give some ideas in a quick manner, so I recorded my answer:

My ways of handling bitch-y girls. Some of these Ive picked up from guys on this forum

1. "I have an intuition about you...."

Oh yeah, whats that?

* keep locked into her eyes, never looking away while you say this *

"You like to test men, because you need to know they can stand up for themselves, and to you, because you like banter. In fact i can tell that although you may not like to appear it, you are a total romantic."

*pause*

*Highfive* It always works

2. Ooooohhhhhh you're so sassy. I could put you in a sass-o-matic and get sassy juice outta you.

3. Body language. Just look at her and raise you're eyebrow, or give 'those nasty mean looks a girl has sometimes', and give it back to her. It shows your socially adept, and since you communicated with body language SHE will usually appologze
