It was a lovely day at work when Boy bumped into me. I immediately put on a friendly smile to greet the familiar nervous face I saw 6 months earlier in the same place. "How ya doing?", "Good to see you." and "Have a good day," was how the conversation went. He had already started to walk away when he turned back around and approached me again. He took a deep breath, stood 5 feet away form me, stiffened his arms by his sides, clenched this pants and said, "Would you maybe want to go to dinner with me?" I ran the options through my head and finally I shrugged and said, "Sure. I'll going to dinner with you."
"Really?! Are you sure?"
wow.....
Any other time I would have said no to avoid the awkwardness of meeting someone new in traditional way but for some reason I shrugged my shoulders and said sure. I don't date, not to mention I was in no way attracted to him *sigh* but he had the balls to ask so I gave him that much. So we set the date up and I agreed to me him Saturday for a flick downtown at the Alamo Draft House.
Long story short, I show up for the date and he was holding a stuffed bunny. Its pastel blue so it was an Easter bunny. It wasn't until we sat down that he formally asked me to accept the bunny. So crookedly smiled and took the bunny and watched the show.
I thanked him for the date and he thanked me and told me that it was a very rare occurrence for him and I totally understood why.
Needless to say I told Boy that I wasn't interested in going on another date with him and we parted ways. However, I wonder if his extreme lack of social skills and "game" will inhibit him to ever have another date no matter how good his heart is. It's admirable but not attractive.
Should I worry?
Neh...
We went out after and had ourselves a nice time.
And I'll probably never go on another date again.
Signed,
Caring Chloe
