I am so embarrassed.
There’s this kid in college, Keith, who I had a crush on. Instead of kind of whimpering about it, I went up to him and asked him to “hang out” [read: go on a date] and he said “yes”. We went to watch Requiem for a Dream and then a late dinner at some famous diner in NYC.
granted, I was ecstatic. Needless to say, we had fun but there was no “chemistry” I suppose. I mean, it was a good time, but I didn’t go home dreaming of him at night and I’m sure he didn’t either.
Anyway, so I see him on Friendster! Good ol’ Keith. And so, thinking it would be harmless, I wrote how I used to have a crush on him.
Oh GOD. And he responded with THIS testimonial:
*** Sharon had a crush on me in college. Maybe the other Keith too, but definitely me because she asked me to hang out one time and I said “okay” and a bunch of people I didn’t know were coming up to me all week and going, “Hey, you’re Sharon’s friend, right?” or “How’s Sharon?” or “I know SOMEONE who’s got a date this weekend” or “You and Sharon are going out! That’s soooo cute!” or “I am sooo glad you’re going out with Sharon; maybe now she’ll shut up about you.” I kid you not. Sharon apparently has a lot of friends and they apparently know a hell of a lot more about me than i do about them. Oh, and if anyone needs to borrow Sharon’s wheelchair, it’s in my apartment. ***
OH GOD. I am so embarrassed if that happened. Damn my friends. Damn my popularity and damn my naiveity. I suck hardcore.
Anyway, now from this, I’m trying to learn a lesson. Never ask guys on dates because your friends will ruin you.
I wonder if this happened with every guy I went on a date with in college? Hmmm..
I’m STILL EMBARRASSED!
