Preface: At the time I was hopped up on anti-depressants/anxiety meds and I guess the part of me that would have told me "don't fucking do this," was out of commission.

So... I liked this girl in college. We were health science majors so all of our classes were in the hospital classrooms. After talking with her a little bit on instant messenger I got up the courage to ask her out. I got the bright idea to buy her a rose from the hospital gift shop, and give it to her after class when I ask her out.

So I go to the gift shop, they only sell roses in a vase. So I buy that, put it in my backpack standing up, pinned against my books so it didn't move.

I was nervous for the entire class. When it was over she was talking to another girl, and I was still too shy to go ask her out with someone else there. So I waited till she left and followed her out of the classroom. I say "Hey, so and so, hold up." I start to ask her out while pulling the rose out of the vase/backpack to hand to her... and she fucking flat out starts running away from me. No words, just runs away.

Now... that's cringey enough. And normal me would have just died right there and left. But I was hopped up on antidepressants, so... I got angry, and ran after her. I caught her as she was leaving the building, she was still fucking running. I yell "what the fuck" at her, she stops. For some reason I hand her the rose, she takes it, she stammers th-thank you, then I tell her to fuck off, and I walk away.

So I get back to my dorm room, and yeah... the running tipped the vase over in my schoolbag and everything was soaked. I never talked to that girl again, and I moved my seat somewhere that I didn't have to see her for the rest of the semester. On one hand I thought she ran because she thought I was going to murder her or something. But I later came to realize she was from the middle east and it probably had something to do with cultural stuff, oh and not liking me.

To this day I have no fucking idea why I did what I did, none of it. All of it is out of character for me. I'm incredibly shy. Those meds are serious business.
