So this weekend I was at my university's law camp and I had some pretty strange [well, strange for a socially awkward person like me] experiences which I would very much appreciate some help with explaining =/

Basically our law camp was just one big massive drunken orgy and on one of the nights we had a horror-themed costume dance party. I wasn't expecting anything to happen because guys just don't show much interest in me [read: act as if I don't exist]...but while I was dancing, this very good looking guy came over to me, introduced himself and danced with me [and heh, felt me up quite a bit, but I was so overwhelmed to be actually dancing with a guy, and an attractive one at that that I just let him]. He had had a couple of drinks, but you couldn't tell, he seemed completely sober, just a little bit overly friendly ><.

So one thing leads to another and we're in a secluded spot away from the party, it's about 2am in the morning, I'm sitting in his lap [another first for me! O_O] and he tells me... that he wants to kiss me.

I am completely taken aback [but now I realise, considering how the night went, it was the logical conclusion]. I want to too, but then he continues, saying that he shouldn't though because he's realised that I'm a "nice girl" and "too innocent" and he isn't a good person and he would probably hurt my feelings later. Which utterly confuses me. He still tries though, and I manage to squeak out a "no". [I have never kissed anyone before, and I didn't want to give my first away to someone who describes themselves like that =/]. So we sort of sit and talk for a while, and he says several times that he should take me back inside, but everytime we get up, he pulls me down again saying he doesn't want to let me go.
[By the way, I should mention that I am 18 and he is 21 years old].

But after about an hour or so, we realise that we're just going around in circles and he walks me back to my cabin. The next day he pretty much ignores me, but for a few cursory hellos and telling me that I'm a sweet girl and we should hang out at uni sometime.

I don't know much about party protocol so I'm not quite sure.. what happened here >< Was he...just a player looking for a drunken hook up?

Or...did something about my height and weight turn him off me? I find this to be a major root of my social problems =/ I'm very short, I stand at 5 feet even, weigh about 40kg and I have rather chipmunk-like cheeks which make me look about 13 years old. I actually wear quite a bit of eyeliner, but it doesn't seem to help, people still see me as a little child. If this was the problem, does anyone have any suggestions about how I can break out of this child-like image that seems to have attached itself to me and seem more my age?

If you have read through this entire ramble, I am eternally grateful!
Thank you in advance!
 
He was a player, Sweetie.

I read your entire story as a routine that I am familiar with.

Don't take it personally, he must have been attracted to you, but NO, there was no feelings of romance there. How does romance start with a guy "feeling you up" while you dance?

Trust me, it doesn't.

You did the right thing. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF WHAT HAPPENED AS BAD ABOUT YOU OR YOUR APPEARANCE, I'M SURE YOU ARE SUPER CUTE.

In his mind, when he said "I am a bad guy who will just hurt you" - you were supposed to rip your clothes off and climb on top of him. It didn't happen. He reframed and tried a few more times with no luck.

He is a player, but a crappy one. LOL
 
Well, I don't think your looks are the problem here; otherwise he wouldn't have made a move on you!

I can't tell for sure if he was just trying to get you into bed... but it really does sound like it. Afterall, you're 18, so you're probably just new at university and it was most likely your first time at the camp, or? Seeing as he's 21, he might have been trying to hit on the 'unexperienced new girl'. I suppose now he's all quiet because he feels a bit embarassed, seeing as he was drunk and he 'failed'.

Ofcourse, there is a remote possibility of him really caring for you, although 'lets hang out sometime at uni' sounds very vague. I guess you'll have to wait and see what happens to be really sure of his intentions.
 
This guy doesn't have love or romance on his mind if his first interaction with this girl is to feel her up extensively and then seclude her from a party and attempt to have sex with her.

Honey, don't get your hopes up. I'm sure you are cute, find a decent guy, that will actually TAKE YOU ON A DATE! before trying to get into your pants, lol.
 
Sounds like he was just looking for a drunken hook up, but it also sounds like he likes you maybe in a friend way maybe not. Go hang out with him see where it goes.

As for your child-like image, 20 years from now you'll find it a blessing when a guy asks for your ID at a bar. :D There's not much you can do about it, except for make up or dressing "older". I'm no expert and 5' might be short but I'm a guy and I'm only 5'6" (& 1/2 lol) so I don't find you that short.

Oh and maybe a different hair cut, sometimes that can make someone look older or younger. Just don't pile on the make-up either, that's not attractive.
 
He was just looking for a hookup. He was using a routine straight out of some pua playbook somewhere.

He obviously found you attractive otherwise he wouldn't have even bothered. You are starting college. Just know that a good majority of social activities will just be a means for students to hookup.

Be careful, guard your heart, and don't go off alone with drunk guys who feel you up unless you intend to have sex with them. Date rape is pretty common nowadays.
 
I think he wanted you to convince him that you *weren't* that sweet or innocent so he could happily have a drunken sexual encounter with you and convince himself that, not only did you want it too but that, in a way, you were asking for it. But that's just my interpretation of it - and since I'm a girl, I can't be sure I'm reading it right. But you did ask.

If he really likes you as a person, he'll try to get to know you outside of that kind of setting. Good luck.
 
Sounds to me like he was trying to get you to jump on him. Maybe he was just shy, and wanted you to start off the encounter. Maybe he was hoping that once you got back to your cabin you would lead him in.

Did you give him any other signs you wanted to pursue him further? Maybe he thought you rejected him so he moved on. After all, did you give him your phone number or some other method for contacting him?

However, give the atmosphere you were in... he was hoping for a one night thing.
 
No decent dude worth anything feels you up and then tells you he'll hurt you. He was playing but his game sucks. I wouldn't even waste time hanging out with him,
