I didnt believe this at all, I thought it was a way for them to have a joke at my expense by making me ask out this girl and her say no, then I'd have been really embarrassed. So I just ignored them completely.

Then on the weekend of the Queen's golden jubilee celebrations, our road had a street party and I played football with everyone else pretty much all day, til about 10pm. At that point they stopped football and started a disco instead. I was sitting down, having a drink and some food, when this girl who supposedly fancied me came and asked me if I wanted to dance with her.... and I replied 'no, I'm too tired, I've been playing football'.

Apparently she really did fancy me, and I flat out rejected her in front of her friends and family. They never spoke to me again.
