Awkward?

So I'm chatting with someone online tonight. Cute guy, seem to have a few things in common. He asks me out for a drink and I think.. why the fuck not? It's Friday night, I'm not in any great hurry for bed and I swore to myself that the next time an opportunity came up where I could go out and meet someone.. I would.

I rush to get ready, it'll take me at least 30 mins to get there with walking the hill, muni then walking up to this place. He's there by now, already finishing a bud light (ugh, a bud light). I meet him, and got myself a drink.

Small talk. Awkward small talk. We're both trying to think of things to say. Sure, we have some things in common but whereas I felt I was putting a good foot forward.. he seemed lazy. Oh well, each of us are nervous in our own way. No biggie.

Well, apparently he goes to this bar quite a bit, because many of the staff and patrons of this place knew him. Kinda cute that everyone approaches him, wants to give him a hug, be friendly with him. But kinda creepy he frequents a bar so much everyone knows him. Drinks alot of bud light methinks. And not once did he introduce me to anyone. Manners suck in this town, or is it just this guy?

We wander over to where the drag show was happening, watch it for a few. He engages this one guy who obviously knows him quite a bit. Then the barback gives him a hug.. next thing you know all 3 of them have their phones out and are talking about them.. booooring. I am standing right there, waiting for him to say anything.

Nothing.

So, I turn around and start watching the drag show (I'm literally 2' from this moron), when suddenly.. he and his friend/Daddy/fb/whatever go shooting off down the hall. His friend says "You still smoke right?" and they head down to the smoking patio. My god this guy was hanging on his buddies every word, was a puppy dog at his heels. And there they go.

Gone.

I thought "this is a sign, boyo" and tossed my drink in the trash, and walked out.

I'm so thankful I went out tonight, even to meet with this moron. I got out of the house, for one. And two, if that's the kind of person he is.. then far be it from me to stand in his way. Good to get this shit out in the open immediately.

At least I would have introduced him to my friends.
