miscommunication

so, last night in class, i was bored, so i started talking to people on AIM. i talked to a girl here in law school, about all sorts of random stuff. somehow, we got on the subject of judging people based on 1st impressions and stereotypes. long story short, she ended up pointing out that at the halloween party last week i said something to her, which as it was given, a compliment, but as it was taken, an insult. now, this girl is a cutey. and all in all, from what i know thus far, a cool chick; intelligent, cute, smartass, drinks skinny cubans and wine like a champ (yes yes, i know, the perfect girl for me, so refrain from commenting as such). now, at the halloween party, in my drunken state, i said to her, "if you weren't you, i would totally try to sleep with you." now this was because of her hot little costume. some sort of snow white something or another. now, she took this comment as a "i would not sleep with you." where, i intended it as a "if you were cool and attractive, and someone i would potentially date in the future, i would totally try to have a 1-4 night stand with you." ahh, the joys of miscommunication.
