Even after so many years I can tell you, I am an expert at creating awkward silences. My eyes tell you that I'm about to say something, my brain runs through a thousand different possibilities, my mouth dries up ... and nothing comes out ... I am stuck there with a stupid look on my face.

They were sizing you up, to see if you would be able to make it as Pack Leader.
You needed to growl really loud, and bite one of them in the scruff of the neck. Not hard enough to draw blood, but definitely enough to let them know you mean business. Then you would have wanted to take him to the ground. After that, present your rear for him to sniff, and then you're on your way.
Wait; I'm sorry, that advice is for dogs.

You and Relic should get together and write a book on dogs.
Wait, that might............

But...but I'm a bass player.
Yeah... But you see it's like this: If you're cute to begin with, playing bass counts as a plus when you're a girl.
So you being cute may actually be the simple answer to why. Guys may be a**es, but they are also uncomplicated. Look for the obvious. It is the correct solution 99% of the time when it comes to guys.

I'd say both A and C. One of them wanted to ask you out but didn't know how. Do you know how hard it is at that age to muster up the courage to ask a girl out in front of your friends? I'd be willing to bet they had a "Dude, I think she's into you" conversation about you
Don't hold it against them. It doesn't mean they're bad guys. Dudes that age can be awkward around girls because they're not sure how to act.
But...but I'm a bass player.
And so is Tal Wilkenfeld.
A group of them smiling at you?
All I can think of is that one of them farted and indicated to the rest that you were the culprit.
Yeah and we do tend to fart a lot. Some guys consider it an art form and have spent years perfecting it.
And it never loses it's funniness.
They were probably waiting for a follow-up fart or at the very least a high-5 and a "yaaaaaeeeeh, baby that's how ya do it"..
You let them down....
If this had happened to one of the Kardashians, it would be front-page news all over the internet. You're stuck with TalkBass.
Maybe he forgot to brush his teeth that morning and was polite enough not to unleash the smell of Surstromming and spoiled milk on you?
Such a nice fella, and here you are, on the internets, telling everyone about his bad breath...

I know i am giving away our secrets, but i feel bad that after all these years, people still don't know this:
Guys have this amazing ability of not listening but acting like they are listening... Usually, when someone says something and we are not listening we say something like "Mmhmm" or "Uh-huh"
However, sometimes we are so good at not listening, we don't even know if someone actually said anything. Our brain overloads with long process of:
"did someone say something? If they did, i wonder if it was about burritos. I really want a burrito, i love burritos! It's like food wrapped into a an edible plate! How come they have not made edible plates yet? I mean they have edible underwear, right? Hey, there is a person in front of me... Did she say something? Maybe she said something about burritos, i sure do love burritos, they are like food wrapped into edible plate! Do they make edible underwear that taste like burritos? This one time i had a underwear flavored burrito, i was not a fan but I'd eat it again. Did i say that out loud? Maybe? Who knows.
I wonder what would happen if you breed a owl and a monkey, that would be amazing. It could see at night, it would fly around and throw feces, I could train it, it would be waaaaay better then having a dog. I mean, if a person gets bit, it will heal... The emotional scars of having owlmonkey throwing feces at you will never heal. Speaking of monkeys, Indiana Jones is freaken AWESOME! They ate monkey brains in the Temple of Doom. I wonder if that was real monkey or fake. I never saw "no animals were harmed in this movie" at the end, so had to be real monkey!
Oh hell, people are animals, i wonder if some extra was hurt in a show that tells people how it never harmed any animals and then file a lawsuit. like "hey man, people are animals too, i was totally harmed!" I wonder if judge would throw this lawsuit our based on fact that animals taste good and people don't there for we can't be animals? Do people taste bad? I mean we all ate human flash at one point, like when we bite our tongue, technically we are being cannibals at that people, I mean point, how did i confuse those two words... i mean they both start with a P so i guess i can see that... Hey, that person is still in front of me, i should ask her if she ever ate human flesh... No, that's a bad idea, i'll wait for her to say something....."
Well, you get the point... Insert random thought about doing it every 7-10 words and a giggle and that's about a minute of silence...

resident ... something
This post was too long for me. I never made it through because I kept thinking about a mole burrito with jalapenos.
Just dangle a shiney object before us. That should get our attention and mollify us at the same time.
