What's Your Test On? Mixology?

Submitted by John:

In college I asked out a girl who was a customer at the video store I worked at because she seemed cool enough and we had similar taste in movies. We met at a cavernous, empty sports bar on its last legs, which made for an ominous beginning of the night.

From the start I could tell she just wasn't into being there and I quickly realized she was a lot less interesting than I had initially gathered. After a few, quick drinks, she explained she had to "go study for a test" she had the next day. We exchanged goodbyes and since it was still early, I decided to cross town to a party my friend's fraternity was having.

As I was pouring a beer from the keg, I looked up and spotted her hanging with some friends across the room. Our eyes met for a very awkward few seconds, and after some initial feelings of anger at being totally lied to, I just laughed it off and we both stayed at the party -- not exchanging one word the whole night.
