Is it normal that I got asked out on a date with out realizing

I think that it can be normal for one not to realize that another is asking them out...they can do so in peculiar ways...I once had a girl (a very pretty one, at that) that challenged me to a round of Putt-Putt golf...me, being the competetive type, focused far more on beating her on the course than on what, when I later thought about it...going home alone...she was actually doing...trying to find out about me...she was truly interested until she realized that I was overly competetive...and said good bye right there...I wonder what might have been...
