Bender had finally met his match, someone who didn't swoon over him the second he laid on the charms. The second you flipped him off after he made an advance, he knew he had to try harder. Even though he knew all his lousy attempts would not be successful, he didn't have it in him yet to stoop 'so low' and actually compliment you. That just wasn't Bender. Over the course of getting to know you in that fateful detention, he started to feel different about you. You were attractive in your own way, something he hardly took much time to notice about people. It just fueled his determination.
