so i made a classic drunken mistake tonight: giving a girl my number instead of asking for hers.
i'm always incredibly wary of obviously hitting on girls, see, because my roommates often mention creepy guys who've hit on them at work. apparently, trying to engage a cute record store employee in conversation constitutes attempted sexual assault in this party of the country. i was not informed of this, but i swear i'll be more careful in the future.
(by the way, is that some kind of badge of honor among women, how many pathetic, lonely guys hit on you in a day? y'all realize that the only thing distinguishing one of those pathetic guys from a viable date is a slightly more symmetrical face and better fashion sense, right? RIGHT?! here's a tip: charisma does not equal sincerity, and it fades a hell of a lot faster.)
so in the interest of getting to some kind of point, basically, i don't want to be one of those guys. and i'd rather be the asshole glaring at people in the corner than the other asshole overreaching his sexual boundaries and making a fool out of himself in public. and, as far as i can tell, the only difference between me and most guys is this tendency.
which leads me with a question: is the only key to meeting people being assertive and successfully covering up your desperation? is this what i'm missing?
