I have stumbled upon a somewhat-disturbing trend that has been going on: I have become a topic of conversation with people. Not just a brief reference...an actual conversation. These examples are from the past couple of months:
1.) This week, one of my good friends was on a first date with a girl I have met twice. Apparently, I was a topic of discussion during this date. I know this because the girl brought up what they talked about (nothing much, just that I'm single and have standards with dating). My friend then confirmed this discussion taking place.
2.) Two people I barely know on Facebook but am "friends" with (we shared a class together a couple years ago) are discussing my job prospects via wall posts. One of my friends had mentioned to one of them that I may be landing a job at a major company, but why are the two people I don't know well talking about me?
3.) A guy I get along with met a girl who lived in my apartment building at college. At the time, I didn't know the guy all that much - hung out with him once - and I hadn't run into the girl in awhile. Somehow, I came up in the conversation. The guy tells me they had "a whole discussion" about me.
4.) A friend of mine who I haven't seen in a few months but keep in touch with online tells me a girl randomly IM'ed him asking about me. The troubling part: This guy and I don't hang out a lot (at least not recently), and I have never seen or met the girl before in my life. Basically, there is no way she'd know that I know the guy.
Any thoughts? I realize this doesn't exactly deal with trying to get girls, but maybe it has something to do with my personality or how I present myself. I'm not wild by any means and I'm not a goof. However, I am confused. :crazy:
