today i was in what can only be described as a sitcom-like situation where a guy is doing ok with a girl by saying very little and just rolling with the conversation, and he proceeds to speak and dig himself into a very large hole. details would make this even more amusing but i can't provide those without revealing far too much:
---guy approaches our group of people---
guy: hi all
girl and others: hi
guy to girl: did we meet last night? i can't exactly remember, i was somewhat drunk...
girl: i can't remember either but i was pretty out of it too..
---laughter all around---
girl: but hi i'm Z, it's nice to meet in this sober manner :)
---random chatter---
guy to all: hey any of you want to get cake with us? (he refers to his group)
girl and others: yeah that sounds like fun.
---random chatter about random stuff. group X is discussed (the true identity of group X is withheld to protect the participants)---
guy: i really hate group X.
girl: huh. i'm from group X.
other person: a lot of my friends are from group X.
---awkwardness---
guy: well let me qualify.
---long story about group X ensues---
girl: i think most people in all groups have that characteristic. sounds like you just hate a particular type of person.
---random talk about the type of person that guy might have problems with---
guy turns to girl: i just wanted you to know that i don't consider you part of group X.
girl: that's a really left-handed comment! uh.. thank you?
---laughter---
guy: ok, i think you're research is really cool and you're cool (editor's note: he doesn't know this person at all!)
---awkward smiles---
---we all start to walk towards the door---
guy to girl: you still want to get cake?
girl: uhhh. no i think i'm going to work on my laptop instead (editor's translation: i'd rather tear pages out of my favorite book than get cake with you, this is super awkward).
guy walking away with rest of us: doh doh doh
---amusement for the rest of us---
