Part 4/6:
After sending the drink, she observes that the man has not acknowledged the gesture, leading her to think she should approach him directly. Summoning her courage, she walks over and asks, "Hey, how's your beer?" while attempting to appear friendly and flirty, batting her eyelashes for good measure.
The Unanticipated Response
The man's reaction, however, was underwhelming and a bit confusing. He looks at her and asks, "Oh, you sent this?" confirming that he received the drink. But what followed was an awkward silence—no conversation, no reciprocation, just an absence of engagement. His response, or lack thereof, left her standing there without further exchange, illustrating how sometimes efforts to initiate contact can fall flat or be misinterpreted.
