D-Lish Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I feel like a huge idiot right now! My best friend and I met a crew of guys while out and about last Saturday night. I was particularly interested in one of the guys I had chatted with and as we were leaving, he asked both of us if we wanted to meet tonight for happy hour as him and his friends always go after work on Wednesdays. We said "sure" and I gave him my number. He has been texting me since Saturday, telling me he thinks I am cute, can't wait to see me, etc. I have to admit, I was pretty interested! So, we finalize plans for tonight and my gf and I go and meet them. I notice immediately, he seems much more interested in my friend. At one point he says to her "so how are your dogs?" Well, she doesn't have dogs, I have dogs!! We all realize at that point that the whole time he's been texting me, he'd thought he'd been talking to her! It got really awkward at that point as soon as it came to light that he liked her and thought he'd been chatting with her all week, so we left. I just feel like an ass:( Ouch, that hurt my ego.

Aww...sorry D-Lish....Was he drunk?
SoulSearch_CO Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 OUCH! Gees, he must be blind AND stupid.
meerkat stew Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Sorry that happened, but you shouldn't feel like a fool, he just has no skills or discernment, feel good you weeded him out fast. Don't be surprised if you get a text "Gee I hope I didn't piss your friend with the dogs off too much!"
Crazy Magnet Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I believe Awkward deserves a capital A in this case. You shouldn't feel retarded though, he should. How can he not remember who's number he had??
Author D-Lish Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Well, I was driving that night, so I was sober- everyone else was feeling no pain. I just feel so stupid that I was eating up compliments that weren't meant for me:( My friend is quite beautiful, gorgeous actually- and since she just got out of a long term relationship and is in need of an ego boost- I just played it with her that I didn't care. I do care though- I've had a dry spell of late and the attention I thought was directed at me made me feel really good.
Art_Critic Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 We all realize at that point that the whole time he's been texting me, he'd thought he'd been talking to her! ... Dlish.. shiot happens.. don't be embarrassed.. in the end it was his mistake as he was the one communicating with you thinking it was your friend.. You were communicating with him thinking it was him.. You're in the clear... Funny story though...
Trialbyfire Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 But D, you're beautiful too. Is your friend also a long, cool blonde?
Author D-Lish Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 But D, you're beautiful too. Is your friend also a long, cool blonde? Yeah, she is.
Bejita463 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 My friend is quite beautiful, gorgeous actually- So that's her in your avatar then?
Art_Critic Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 So that's her in your avatar then? Yeah.. Her friend is hott !!!
Stung Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Aw, D, that does suck. I can understand why it would bruise your ego, but it was absolutely his error, not your own, no need to feel foolish on top of it. Everybody has a dry spell now and then, don't let this shake your confidence. I've enjoyed your warm, down-to-earth posting for some time now and if that is you in your avatar you've certainly got nothing to worry about, physically.
allina Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 You know you're stunning, don't let it get to you, it was a dumb, though honest mistake, just laugh it off.
Trialbyfire Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Keep in mind that it was your banter all week long, that's kept him interested.
Author D-Lish Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 So that's her in your avatar then? Yeah.. Her friend is hott !!! Lol, thanks guys! My friend looks like a young Cameron Diaz. I can't fault her or say anything bad about her because she really is very beautiful, and she is pretty cool too. I'm not normally jealous, but as I drove home tonight I surely felt a bit of humiliation over the whole situation. She just got out of a long term relationship and is feeling like crap over it- I saw her eyes light up over the attention from this guy tonight and it was bitter sweet for me as her best friend. I want her to snap out of her funk, and it made me happy to see her happy- but that selfish part of me was disappointed.

Any guy would be crazy not to fall head over heels in love with you. But I also agree with what TBF said about your banter. Your situation kind of reminded me of that movie "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" (although not to that extreme since I happen to think you are gorgeous, too). If the guy was too dumb to look past what he "thought," then he's not very bright. No offense to friend. Just sayin.
Bejita463 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Lol, thanks guys! Being serious, if that is you, from what I can see in that little avvy, you've nothing to worry about. My friend looks like a young Cameron Diaz. Does she have the "I'm going to kill you in your sleep" smile too? I surely felt a bit of humiliation over the whole situation. I can understand that. I manage to catch someone's interest who's interest I actually desire rarely enough that if that happened I'd have to play Linkin Park and The Cure at the same time in order to properly express the angst I would be feeling. "HOW COULD THIS CRAWL IN MY SKINNNN?"

Your feelings are understandable, and yet you are still happy and thoughtful re: your friend. You have a lot to be proud of as far as how you handled the situation. Truly.
bananaboat11 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 From reading your posts Dlish... and if that's you in your pic... coming from a former alpha male (according to LS standards I guess)... but broken emotionally at the moment... that's his loss. Awkward situation... he did ask you for YOUR number though. At the time he asked you - he wanted your number.... something in his head must've thought he could play you both? Regardless... come up to my college town and hopefully I cross paths with you unknowingly. You'd make a man really happy one day.
Trialbyfire Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Plse don't take this as an insult to your friend because it's not intended that way. But, I can't hold back. Cameron Diaz at any age, isn't that big a deal. Okay, I said it and now feel better. Sorry D.

"HOW COULD THIS CRAWL IN MY SKINNNN?" Well you're awesome- and I know I am just feeling sorry for myself right now. That's me in my avatar- but to be honest, I have a super attractive group of friends. I'm the smart one;)

You have a lot to be proud of as far as how you handled the situation. Truly. Well, thank you very much, means alot to me. It's important to be a good friend. Of course it sucks to be rejected, but I would rather pretend I don't care and see her happy. I can just vent my true feelings here. From reading your posts Dlish... and if that's you in your pic... coming from a former alpha male (according to LS standards I guess)... but broken emotionally at the moment... that's his loss.

Regardless... come up to my college town and hopefully I cross paths with you unknowingly. You'd make a man really happy one day. Well you're awesome B. I do think he's a bit of a player. I'd love to come to your college town but I am a Cougar:lmao: Plse don't take this as an insult to your friend because it's not intended that way. But, I can't hold back. Cameron Diaz at any age, isn't that big a deal. Okay, I said it and now feel better. Sorry D. I'm not offended tbf:D He just text me again asking for me friend's number...
bananaboat11 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Well you're awesome B. I do think he's a bit of a player. I'd love to come to your college town but I am a Cougar:lmao: I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I lost my virginity when I was 18 and she was 27... cougar all the way. Age to me is nothing more than an arbitrary number
Art_Critic Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 He just text me again asking for me friend's number... That is just LAME.. What a dick... Goes to show you and your friend that all he is about is her looks.. Don't text him her number, He is now making a fool out of himself for a second time.. Block his ass....the guy has no idea hwo he is coming across...
