Love the drama....

OK, so my friend from Columbus came down this weekend. She's my drinking buddy. Well, Saturday night I had to go to a play that my cousin was in. It was 2 hours and 45 minutes long which sucked, but it was very good. Anyway, i had two bonfires to attend that night but I didn't get home from the play until midnight so I opted to just go to one. The one that Mr. Taken was at... Since he's not taken anymore, I don't know what to call him so we will just keep the name Mr. Taken.

My friend called me and told me he was there so I tried to think of my game plan. How do I act? Do I act like I know what happened or do I just play dumb? So, I played dumb. I didn't approach him when I got there, I waited for someone to say his name and then I did the whole...Oh....Mr. Taken, I didn't know you where here?? heheheh... So, he eventually came over and sat next to me. He asked me how I'd been and I answered. Then he asked if I had heard about him and his fiance. Another friend of mine had just told me about it again so I said I just heard it that night, so he told me again. Now, I take that as a good sign. I mean, I didn't ask him about it? He didn't need to tell me but he did. Does he want me to know that he is single now?? I mean, I flirted alittle but I don't know if he knows I'm interested or not. Well, my friends made it clear after he left, they called my brother, who he left with, and told Mr. Taken that I had a crush on him. Not really the impression I wanted to make, but that's what drunks do, I guess. So, they did come back and he sat next to me again but DRAMA exploded among some people and he ended up leaving. It kinda made me sad. I mean, I don't run into him all that often and I would like to at least be his rebound. I mean, seriously, I really don't know hardly anything about him so I can't say I want something serious. He seems nice enough but you know, nowadays with the Scott Petersons and that other dude who killed his wife, how are you to know who is good and who is not.

So Drama was the theme of the evening. After Mr. Taken left, I figured the party was over for me so I was gonna head home, well, another friend had my cellphone and was talking to someone so I couldn't leave till she was done. While she was on the phone, another group of vehicles pulled in, one directly behind my car... SHIT... So, I got them to move, but I realized who they were. One was the unattractive guy who called me a couple weeks ago. I had been avoiding him. Another guy, well, we'll call him Lil Man, was with the unattractive guy and I kinda had a history with him. Not a good history either. More like a drunk mistake history. I had also been avoiding him. Well, before I could get out of there, Lil Man pulled me aside to have a heart to heart talk about our last encounter. UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION!!! Everything is cleared up but I will still be avoiding him like the plague!! He's nice enough but there are issues there. He did shower me with compliments and told me how much he liked me, but my mind was only on Mr. Taken.

So, given the situation that he actually told me he was single, how should I take that? Should I have just said, so when are we hookin' up?? Or did I do the right thing by not saying anything about that?? Did my friends scare him off with their phonecalls?? I think things could have went many different ways and right now I don't think they went the right way or at least the right way for me. I dunno... everything happens for a reason they say. I guess I just need to wait it out. He can get my number from many different people if he is interested. I don't have his so I guess the ball is in his court. Wow, I really hope he hits it back....
