lulumae

I just returned form a fabulous night at the bar with Bettina, Tiamat, and my best girl friend. There was one incident, however, that really put me in a shit mood.

So we were hanging out, having fun. I noticed this very nice looking young man, and I think he was looking at me, too. I thought about approaching him, but I just don't do that. I never have- I usually can't get up the guts to do it, and I'm always afraid of the worst, most humiliating result... being snubbed. But I always regret not doing it. So I gathered my courage, and when he was dancing in our little circle, I went up and started to introduce myself.

I didn't even get to hello. He took one look at me, turned around, and ignored me. I got snubbed. I got snubbed in a bad way. I felt like a piece of lint.

Now, I'm not a cougar. I'm not a bar star. I wasn't drunk, and I don't think I'm intimidating or annoying. So what's the story? Is it me, or was that... rude? I don't know. I was thinking that the worst he would do is smile politely and then avoid me. I could have only been so lucky.

So that's my tale of woe. I'd never approached a stranger in a bar, and I never, ever will again.
