I know you're thrown. I was thrown, too.
Isn't "thrown" means cast ?
Can you explain it in this sentence ?
Thank you so much .

here is the context :
Ian, you know, from across the hall. You met him. Anyway... He sort of asked me out... on a date.
I know you're thrown. I was thrown, too. But he's really nice, and...
I could sort of use someone to talk to... who also talks back.
The thing is... I'm sort of lonely... and the past six months have been really hard on me.
So what I need is... I need to know that it's okay with you if I go out with him.

Answer

Here "thrown" means "confused." I believe it's a shortened version of a longer phrase "thrown for a loop," which comes from boxing and has the idea of being "thrown off" or "disoriented."

So if you were thrown, it means that when the boy asked the girl on the date, she was confused because it was unexpected. She didn't see it coming.
