shadowplay Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 My roommate and I have already become kind of friends, which is cool. Tonight we hung out with her other friend. This girl invited us both to a barbecue on Sunday that she and her boyfriend are throwing before they move to the west coast. Anyway, it turns out the guy who taught an animation course I took over the spring will be there because he's friends with them. (As I pierce the social world of this city, I'm realizing how ridiculously small and incestuous it is). This is awkward for several reasons. The guy is my age, 26. Anyway, I had a crush on him when he was teaching the course and was always hoping we would somehow meet around town outside of class. He's really smart, super cute, and a bit nerdy. He's the type of guy who seems oblivious to how attractive he is and probably wouldn't care if he knew. But I think I may have pissed him off because I didn't turn in some assignments on time and then I asked him for an incomplete. I've since turned in most of the work, but I still have an assignment or two to finish. So I may have totally blown my chances of anything happening between us because of that. I have no clue. I get the vibe I'm probably the type of girl he'd like if that hadn't happened as we seem to have a lot in common, I'm smart and I'm attractive enough, especially as girls in his field go. I'm scared about the ensuing awkwardness when I run into him at the barbecue. But then another part of me hopes maybe I'll get to know him and he'll change his initial impression of me. Or is that a total long shot? Is that the unrealistic, self defeating part of me talking. I don't know. Should I just avoid the barbecue altogether?
SadandConfusedWA Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 You are over-thinking. You should definetly GO.
Gero Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Why not go to the BBQ? Go there and just talk to him as if nothing happened. If he brings it up then maybe make a joke about it or something. Don't worry about one little thing you did in the class. Let your other good qualities shine.
TheBigQuestion Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 You should go. It sounds like it would be at least a decent time no matter what.
Green Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 No, you shouldn't go to the BBQ and be awkward around that guy.
alphamale Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I'm smart and I'm attractive enough, especially as girls in his field go. yes i would agree
