<human>: I've a huge crush on this one girl who is way out of my league. We've met maybe twice last year, talked on facebook quite a bit, but she had a boyfriend, so I kind of abandoned all hope. This year, however, we went to a concert together, and she broke the news to me that they aren't together anymore (2 months ago, maybe?) We've met once again a month ago, and spent a quite a few hours together. Nothing intimate has come out of it. These were the only few successful attempts to meet with her-there were plenty invitations that she dismissed (although for legitimate reasons.)

So, here's where I decided to try a little ploy: I purposefully put myself in a position where I needed her specific skills to get me out of it. And she did help me out a few times, at first. But then I got a little bit too needy, and she outright refused to help me. Now, I don't know what to do. I think of giving her a present, as a token of gratitude for the help, and finally make my intentions clear.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: never admitted any true intentions (although they should be more than obvious, given the persistence with which I invited her to random things,) tried to pull off [Ben Franklin] it backfired.
