Reply #73: I read your story

[uhhuh]

It bears no resemblance to the current incident,but it does give some background as to why you might be hostile to anyone who is interested in you that you don't know. Based on that incident, you should be cautious.

Am I saying that you should have gone off with the guy at the bus stop? Hell no, but your insistence that he is a loser because he didn't put enough words in front of his request to spend time with you seems about as well thought out as asking for a date from people passing on the street.

I have many friends who are awkward when they are interested in someone. I don't think they're losers. This guy might have not known what to say, and blurted that out, and is now somewhere kicking himself and replaying the scenario, and feeling stupid he didn't put in enough words to make his interest in you acceptable. You are just rubbing it in here.
