Oh dear God! How stupid do I feel?
It's Sunday, I'm supposed to be having a big xmas dinner with all my housemates but instead I go to football/the pub because it'll be the last one for some time (that's my excuse anyway).
After the game, I'm with my friends in the pub engaging in furious political debate, impassioned satirical humour and theological reasoning - well, something like that. I casually meander over to the bar and start making small talk with the cute barmaid. It's going well, we talk about what we've been up to all week, though she doesn't seem like she's that interested. Maybe she's just busy? Maybe she's had a long day and is tired? Maybe she's just playing it cool? Maybe the alarm bells should have been sounding at this point?
After a while I wander back to the table my friends are at and we continue with our witty banter.
A while later (the drinks are kicking in now so confidence is at an all time high) I stroll back over to the bar, and wait patiently for her to finish serving customers. I wait a while. Time is getting on a bit now andI'm thinking I should probably start thinking about going home - And still she's not come over to talk to me. Eventually she appears. She's this side of the bar and she's got a plate of food and is officially off duty. She motions for me to come and join her - wahey!
After some initial chatter etc she turns to me and says - "So, your friend Bob, (name changed to protect identities) has he got a girlfriend?"
The penny dropped, my heart sank and quite frankly I wished the world would swallow me up. It wasn't me she was interested in all along. Bob was the object of her desires! The whole week I've been getting all over excited and giddy about a girl who isn't, and has never been, even remotely interested in me. I missed my house xmas dinner to spend probably no more than five minutes with someone who looks straight past me and at my friend. I spent half the time in the pub standing at the bar on my own rather than with my friends so that some girl could ignore me. What a fricking twat i am.
