Captain Oblivious of the Day
Last night a girl (18F) invited me (18M) over to her dorm. We had been messaging each other on instagram and then she said “…can we hang out soon. You never wanna hang out with me”. I told her about saying she was gonna show me her room. She then responds, “Come right now. My roomies are gone”. So eventually I just head over and get there like at 3:30 AM. Once I get there she is just laying down, and I sit in her desk chair and we just talk and listen to music. Eventually I leave, super confused. Not really sure what her intentions were. Like I don’t know if she wanted to make a move on me or for me to sleep over. She is super cool and I enjoy talking to her, but she does flirt with me a lot and I feel like she gives me mixed signals. Just looking for advice on what I should do or should have done here. I feel like this was a possible booty call and she was expecting me to make a move or something.
