i'm just going to copy+paste the recap of the unadulterated clusterfuck of awkwardness that friday night turned into from another one of my pages:
****BEGIN RETRANSMITTED MESSAGE****
Well... That was even more awkward than I had imagined! Somehow, she wasn't expecting to be meeting me - but rather, a different person, so it was even weirder. Like the mature adult I pretend to be, I was civil and offered her the option to just grab dessert & catch up, then part ways OR we could just part ways immediately. She opted for dessert... I don't think I've EVER had such a superficially based conversation that's been so uncomfortable.
Let me be as clear as possible when I say: Fuck. This. Shit.
****TRANSMISSION END****
from here, a few friends commented on this as they're uninitiated to this blog and the stories leading up to this point in time. i tried to clarify / bring everyone up to speed with the following (lengthier) message:
****BEGIN RETRANSMITTED MESSAGE****
Okay... Let me set this up appropriately. On Saturday, I received a text from this girl I hooked up with back in December (after which, she proceeded to fall off the face of the planet). This text was clearly intended for someone else, so I said "Hey, I think you messaged the wrong person - either way, I hope you're doing well" and expected that to be the end of it.
She replies and starts chatting away. She then indicated that she wanted to get together for coffee on Monday. It seemed a little odd, but whatever, I said sure.
Monday, she messaged be to cancel / reschedule for later in the week (today) and we agreed to meet at [Dessert Place] & maybe head over to [Restaurant] afterwords. THEN, she messaged me yesterday to ask if I wanted to go to [Local Arts Space] for an artist party after all of that. Again, I hesitantly said "Sure"
Well - this is really weird because of how things ended back in December... [Going Tarantino here: We went on a few dates, she seemed really into it, we were getting along well, blah blah blah... She was supposed to head out of town to visit family in Cincinnati (it was the week of X-mas) - but for whatever reason, that didn't happen. At 0200 in the morning, I had just finished making Xmas cookies for peeps, I get a call from her: "Hey, I'm still in town, would you come over?" Of course, I did. We're getting into things, she excused herself for a moment, comes back and proceeded to have a complete and utter meltdown - tears and all - about how I'm such a nice guy and she's just going to hurt me and we should slow down and a completely incomprehensible spiel around the tears about how she "always does this" I agreed that we should slow down and that was totally cool. She wrapped herself around me in bed and we fell asleep. In the morning, she woke up, freaking out about how she was late and needed to leave. We kissed goodbye, she said we'd talk later then I never heard from her again.]
Okay, so given that, the fact that she suddenly is planning a whole night of shit seems odd - but as I said "Whatever..."
*Sigh*
SO tonight - I'm waiting for her, she shows up and looks legitimately surprised to see me. We go inside, take a table and she starts off: "So... Yeah... This is going to be really weird and awkward"
I deadpanned "As if this isn't already?"
"Well, you know how this all started with the mistaken text? Apparently my phone is also moving numbers from where they belong, it switched Derpina & Derpette and a few others... Apparently it swapped yours with my friend (whatever his name was, I wasn't really paying attention)."
I told her that, well, we're both here... We can eat some dessert and "catch up" and part ways or we could just laugh it off, get up now and head out. She decided we should eat and head out.
Hands down, the most awkward 20-25 conversation ever! Even our poor waitress was visibly uncomfortable.
And THAT, my friends, is just another example of why I hate trying to date in this fucking city. Because weird, uncomfortable, awkward shit like this happens with surprising regularity to me...
