hijinks

about 2 weeks ago i went to trivia at a bar with the person i like. after the game we were finishing our drinks when some drunk girl came and sat at our table. she introduced herself and then asked if my friend and i were dating. when we both said no, she asked if it was because he's gay. this happens to us a lot. i guess some people see a man who doesn't dress like shit and just assume he's gay.

anyway she started awkwardly hitting on him even though he told her a few times that he's seeing someone. i'm a terrible person so i said i had to use the restroom even though i didn't because i thought it'd be funny to leave him alone with her. when i got back to our table she talked to us a little longer and then went to find the people she'd come with.

afterward i drove the person i like home and he was complaining about the girl. i teased him about her a little and he told me that girls like her really annoy him because he doesn't like to be rude but he doesn't want to be pestered either. "next time," he said, "will you please just tell her we're dating so i don't have to deal with all that? if it wouldn't be too weird for you, i mean."

if it wouldn't be too weird. when did my life turn into a romantic comedy? is this the universe trying to speak to me? well, speak up.
