Remember shy guy? The one who kept TRYING to ask me to hang out, but never did? Yesterday, I realized I was going to be up near where he lives with some friends, so I invited him to come join us. Not the most romantic atmosphere, I know, but it keeps me from getting raped by some psycho. That, and if he's not scared off by my friends, he's probably not half bad. So anyhow, we planned to meet up on my college campus, and I even gave him my phone number in case he got lost. For the record, I almost NEVER give out my number to anyone. I hate talking on the phone. Anyhow, he did end up getting lost, so I asked him to describe where he was. He says "I'm in front of this massive group of people playing Magic: The Gathering." I told him to hang tight. Those would be my friends. He then proceeds to tell me how this would never happen as his college - playing games like that on his campus would get them "taken out back and shot." Wow. That's not a good way to talk about a girl's friends if you're trying to impress her. His college clearly sucks.
Anyhow, he's surprisingly even more socially awkward in person than online. He does this thing he calls "sarcasm", but I'm pretty sure it's just him being negative, then realizing it annoys me and trying to play it off like a joke. He also apologizes for everything. EVERYTHING. It gets really annoying, and I've called him on it so many times. Then he got to meet my best friend, that lucky bastard. She's pretty much my soul mate. If he can impress her, I'd probably have to marry him. She, shy guy, and I ended up in a rousing game of Scrabble. As much as I love Scrabble, I lost. By, well, a lot. Shy guy was good, but my best friend still whooped his butt. The most annoying part of the game was when he made me spend five minutes trying to see if "ahe" was a word, while my internet wasn't cooperating, even though by that point, another one of my friends had come to watch, and all three of us insisted it wasn't a word, we HAD to look it up. It ISN'T a word. I should probably note, this is the guy who wants to be a psychobiologist I mentioned earlier.
So, after the game, he asked me "Do you wanna come see a movie with me? We can take my car. Or we can keep chilling here for a while." I have a policy of not getting into cars with strange men. Last thing I need is for him to get grabby and me to end up hitchhiking home :P So, I said I'd like to stay put. Then he got all pissy. "Why'd you invite me to hang out if you already made plans with your friends?" I invited him to hang out with me AND my friends. Then he left. First thing my best friend says to me? "I didn't like him very much." Neither did I.
