Expectations
At the gym several weeks ago, and some idiot was banging on the window to get in (it's card-key entry) and Topiary knew not what to do and enlisted the aid of the guy on the next bike. So there was a little conversation:-Guy on bike: he left his keys inside
-Cow: thanks for taking care of that.
Now it bears mention that this was late at night on Tuesday. Place was pretty deserted except for Cow and Bike Guy.
And what do you know, next Tuesday, same time, same place, same bike, in came Bike Guy. Topiary said a friendly hi but being the retiring sort just kept on with her workout. No Bike Guy for the next few weeks.
Then there he was again. Came in late, sat on bike next to her, and made sure to NEVER look at her or speak. As if to say, you know, I'm here, and I'm not speaking to you, even though it's the same exact night, the same exact bike, and the same exact time.
From this Cow supposes that she pissed him off. Apparently she was expected to Do Something, that second night. And so now he's got to Show Her how little she means to him, or something.
Guys. Geeze.
If guys want to talk, why don't they just say hi instead of getting all offended that somehow whatever it was you were supposed to do, you didn't do.
It was actually pretty funny when he showed up to pointedly ignore her, he had a new workout outfit and had got a haircut.
This is why Topiary only hangs with other Topiary.
Moo!

Ha ha! It's like he came in and screamed "Ignore me!" at you.
Topiary are less complicated.
Funny old things chaps, I never know what to do with them.
Or perhaps he is just shy.
Meno: Ha! You're right!
Topiary are very uncomplicated, true. Sun, a warm meadow, a little breeze, and we're happy!
Lulu: Cow thinks you handle things very well! Much better than Topiary.
Watercolor: hmmm. There seemed to be a concerted effort at ignoring though. Pretty sure Topiary was "being shown" a lesson.
Watercolor has a very soft heart and a good nature, and these are excellent things to have. :)

Moo!
It sounds as if you were both shy, the right time to make friends was after the incident with the guy who left his keys inside. Now maybe that guy was a sociable type that would have chatted to Ms Cow.
Ah, Gorilla is so astute. Yes, Topiary is shy, and wishes guys would stop trying to punish her for it.
Topiary feels sure she would appreciate the full-frontal honesty of Gorillas in the Congo (no room for misinterpretation!)
Moo!
Maybe he was ignoring you because he got his feelings hurt the other time but sat by you again because he's shy and still is kinda interested and wanted to see what would happen. :) Maybe?
And thank you. :)
clearly, he was too dazzled by your beauty to speak.
I think that he was shy. Guys that are interested and quiet find it hard to make the first move. They have usually been rejected so many times they almost give up.
Well, at least that was my husband's thing. I had to chase him all over town to nail him.
Awww, you hurt his iddy biddy widdo feewings that you didn't immediately fall over with your legs in the air when he said hi to him.
Pfft... narcissist.
Err... When he said HI to YOU.
Tired this evening, can't even think!
