Ever had it happen?
I had one of the most awkward moments of the last couple of years last weekend.
I was at a theme party. Lots of people dressed up, and I had one of the better costumes.
Since I am not the most social person in the world, I always jump at an opportunity to "peacock" like this, as it makes it super easy to find convo starters and interact with everyone to become the life of the party.
So I'm standing by the snack table, and a cute brunette walks up and grabs some food. I see she has a big bottle of beer in her hand, so as soon as she turns around I say "That's a mighty big beer you got there!" and the convo was on......
She started asking me all sorts of qualifying questions, more than just normal small talk, but a minute or so later a dude walks over. I introduce myself and continue to engage both of them, not knowing his status with the chick.
So the chick continues with the questions an interested woman would ask and displays body language that conveys the same message, even with the dude there. The guy didn't say much, but then another chick walks over. I guess she knew girl #1, but not the dude.
I introduce myself to her and the conversation veers to "which party host do you know" (there were three). I jokingly said that I was just driving by and saw all the cars so I decided to crash the thing (which was utterly ridiculous since I was in COSTUME!). The second chick knew I was joking and asked again, and as I was about to say "I'm friends of friends", the first chick pipes up and says "He's with me!"
For about two seconds I'm thinking "Oh yea....this is ON!", but then the second chick points to the other dude and says "But I thought you were with HIM?"
It was one of those moments. You know, like when your friend gets really drunk and makes a really loud racist comment not realizing that the next table is full of the ethnicity of people he is demeaning.....
For a moment there was silence.
I felt REALLY awkward. I didn't know what to do or say, so I blurted out something to the effect of "Well, we're ALL friends here!"
Then, to make matters WORSE, chick #2 then starts asking cute brunette how she met other dude! I thought to myself "Oh man, I gotta get outa here" and excused myself to the restroom.
Damn, I didn't think about it before this very second, but typing this I realize that this sounds like a USDA certifiable c0ckblock! But the other chick kept talking about her husband who wasn't at the party?? Anyway.....
So this is one of the only times I can remember a chick blatantly hitting on me (although I guess I kinda started it) right in front of her date/boyfriend.
Any similar experiences?
This could be a fun thread, hehe
