Yay, I got a star! I've been keeping up with my decision and it feels great!
Stage 3 - Day 23,
Recently past the 1-2 weeks, I have become less social. Actually quite surprising how I've been lately.
Up side is, I don't doubt myself and if I do talk with someone, I'm not very interested in talking much. I use very few words and when I think back this Saturday night...
I was out with some buddies and throughout the night I wasn't much social at all. I have no idea why I don't feel like talking with people. There was two points throughout the night, 1. where a guy would place his arm close to my seat and as I put my arm back I had it over his. I said, "dude.. I'm sitting here." and he moved his arm.. which afterwards I could hear him whine like a little girl to his friend.
2. My row of seat was pretty tight now since there was quite many people. This party dude, who had just bought some shots to the table beside me, slits through and sits between me and a girl, which he knew.. cramped.. he was moving around and he turned and said, "aren't those cool glasses?" (he had some fancy sunglasses on).. and I said, "yes they are.. but dude. stop moving".
he was like.. "yeah sure.. we are just having fun huh..?" and I was like.. yeah.. but stop moving..
he offers me a shot, I take it with a little hesitation and I kinda killed his mood.
At a point I went to the toilet and there was a queue and I turned and looked at a dude and he said, "sorry" and I looked at him and was like wtf? why are you saying that?
Now this part is like.. people see me intimidating?
As far as with the girls that night; more eye-contact than usually. I held myself pretty strong that night.. maybe too strong.. but anyways, at a point I was bored and there was this girl sitting beside my friend at another table. I touched her lightly and said, "I'm bored.. why don't you come over here and talk?", which she replied, "I.. I can't. I'm with this company." no big deal. I see her get hit on by guys throughout the night.
So me and my buddies were at that bar for like 3 hours. I told them to go and that they shouldn't wait for me so they went on to another place.
I talk with a girl from the group. Nothing interesting, so I leave.
On my way over to my buddies, there was this little stall, with a cute girl and a crazy elderly woman. I bought a pancake with melted chocolate and banana, and this cute girl hands me it and says, "You look really really cute." I was unaffected but thanked her. Talked for a several seconds and assumed that she got an invitation from me.. she offered me her number but picked up her phone, which I said, "I'll just give you my number", and she entered it and asked for my name and then she said, "I'll let you know a night, when I'm not working".
What a bold girl.. I have met girls compliment me straight out before but I thought.. she's cool and she's saying I'm cute while the guys are signaling me that I am intimidating? lol
Is there anyone who also had been quite withdrawn socially in the midst of Stage 3?
