Grammar
That didn't mean vs. That doesn't mean
Hi, I'm not sure what is the correct grammar for a sentence:
I might’ve had enough brains to outweigh all six of them. But that didn’t mean this was going to be a pleasant encounter. ?
I might’ve had enough brains to outweigh all six of them. But that doesn't mean this was going to be a pleasant encounter.
This is being written in the first person, talking about any event that happened. I think it's the first, and "didn't" is correct, but it still doesn't quite sound right to me. Please let me know which it is.
Thanks!

The first is, indeed, correct. Your confusion might stem from the use of this , making it sound more like something in the present.
