<human>: I'll explain a bit of the background. I'm 21 and I've spent the last 3 years in college. With regard to women, I had a bad relationship from 15 to 19. Afterward I spent 6 months going through casual encounters and the last 6 months looking for women to date. That didn't go well. What I learned from these women, is that what I want is appreciation and then loyalty. Recently, I met a girl who seems appreciative and not just looking for attention. I spent a lot of time trying to convince myself I didn't like this girl, but I still had feelings for her. I think this girl is first crush since I never had trouble forgetting about a girl. She told me broke up with her boyfriend 2 weeks ago. So I began to make my move.

I didn't ask her out on a date since I wasn't sure how she felt. Instead I got her to help me take pictures at an art gallery. The conversation was enjoyable as usual. Things took a wrong turn when I told her that I got her a surprise. She said it was creepy. I had gotten her a bottle of this beer she liked and was hard to find. She then asked me about a weird part of my childhood. I told there was a time when I sold drugs and got shot. She knows me as a hardworking A student and mathematician to be who loves his family and friends, so it was a shock to her. She called me a liar. I got a hug when she said bye so I think I got friend zoned.

So I'm not sure what to do. I don't think I have ever believed a girl's appreciation, but I've never been called a creepy liar. I felt cheap and angry more than anything else. The crush is gone, but I want to know what happened. Am I being creepy or is she being weird? I also want to know why some girls have issues with being genuine. To me it's a major turn off.

I kind of wish I spent more time dating than working. Any thoughts would be great.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Got a girl a beer she liked during a museum trip. She thought it was creepy and I got called a lair. Was I too forward?
