What an interesting turn of events

The below issue has been resolved, with a public majority in favour of Scenario One to Scenario Three twenty to three, and Scenario Two received no votes in its favour.

However, my school has decided to host a Christmas Banquet for the students. I asked the girl in Scenario Three if she would like to attend it with me. She replied that she could not on account of her grandfather's birthday that weekend. That, while somewhat disappointing, was nothing compared to the private (meaning blocked number) phone call I received ten to twenty minutes after the question was proposed by an anonymous male acquaintance of hers informing me that I should "just leave Susan* the fuck alone." This was quite a blow to my nerves, as she herself in our instant messages had never implied that she would rather not have me contact her, unless saying that she is rather sick and cannot talk on the phone is the hint that I cannot absorb into my thick cranium.

*Name has been changed.

"Susan," while a very attractive girl that I like, is not worth my prolonged lamentations. Instead, I weep for my severely bruised pride on account of the girl in Scenario One. As I have already implied, I like Jessica* quite a lot. However, relationships across religious boundaries are rather difficult to maneuver. Not that she is not a Christian, but rather a different denomination of Christianity than I am.
None of this makes any difference one way or another, seeing as I have yet to met the father, receive either parent's blessing (except for the marriage project on which we are jointly working), or to have completely won over the affections of young Miss "Jessica." She has decided that she simply is not interested in banquets at this point in time, no matter the cause, and thus will not be joining me to the school on Sunday, 16 December. The rest of the student body considers us an "item" because we spend every available moment together. So, when asked if I was going to the banquet, especially with someone, the entire campus (who all have lunch together, explaining why we are in the same room) let out a collective moan of disappointment for me when I stated that I would be attending and she would not.

*Again, name has been changed.
