So, I go into this tea shop every day (I worked at it about 6 years ago), & for the last 2 years, the people who work there always hook me up with free tea. We usually chat a bit, mostly about art & music. I should mention that they are all 20 is & I'm 40ish. So, this tea is expensive, and getting this hookup really makes a difference in my week. This one kid says next friday is his last day. I've been wanting to hook these people up since they've been hooking me up. Now, one doesn't know if a person is 420 friendly until one asks, but I thought maybe this guy would welcome a random afternoon with a bit of greenery. So I said - No kidding, well I'd like to give you a going away present - but I didn't say what it was, coz he was behind the counter... I said I'd swing by when he gets off work - he told me that was 3:30 So I show up & say hi & get some tea, & start working on some writing at a table, & wait for him to stop by & say - so what's the present... Instead what happens is leaves with a freind, kind of slips by me looking down so it can be like he hasn't seen me --- so, I feel really stupid for two reasons, one, I really put that kid on the spot - he didn't want to hang with me, and I just showed up like it was a given that that was going to happen - I kind of forced the situation, you know? But I really want to hook up somebody from that place! I still feel kinda rejected, even though I know its all my own fault. But I also feel really bad for putting this person in a really awkward spot. I feel like I might have lost a freindly aquaintance by *trying* to make a freind. (Friends just happen, right?) If I ever see him again, I'd want to tell him - jeez I'm sorry about that, but I'm afraid it would be awkward...
He probably thought you wanted to get it on. haha And it probably scared him a bit. Maybe he's easily intimidated and thought you wanted to give him a different kind of present than you were intending. Maybe he just got the wrong idea.
Why didn't you just asked him if he blazed? A 20-year old doesn't want to hang out with a dude in his 40s who (He thinks) is a lonely gay man after him.
Yah - I know - I realize how stupid that was. btw I'm a girl. As to why - I didn't feel right being that direct about it when he was at work. I'm taking some college classes & have a few college-age freinds, so that might make me underestimate the age-factor. Hope that make sense. It would be nice to clear it up some day
There is a small chance he'll come back & work there in the fall. But I think youre right, and it's likely that I won't, so that's a good point - thanks
hahaha yeah. I was wondering why the dude said "gay man". haha I don't know any guys who would choose Layla for a username. lol
