I remember a girl in middle school did something similar. Called me over to her friends and asked if I'd go out with her. They all laughed when my lonely ass said the expected.
Something that may have been this happened to me in high school. A girl came up to me in the hall between classes and said something along the lines of wanting to ask me out or admit a crush or similar. I gave a confused look, then noticed what I took to be other girls behind her looking at us and giggling.
I told her 'now I get it', that her friends put her up to it. And I left.
I'll never know if I was right, or if they were giggling because they were teenagers and she finally got the courage, or if they were even her friends.
For my own benefit I have chosen to believe I was right at the time.
It happened to me too I later figure out they were her backup plan if I answered that I wouldn't go with her at the ""prom""... I felt so bad, she was actually kinda cute but I always has this 6th sense for people laughing behind my shoulders ... I noticed her friends and bodied her ... never saw her again... So sad ...
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on Lemmy that didn't hate high school. Maybe I'm just a crazy person, but I generally got along with most people.
