NYE: What a night! I had been manifesting an awesome night, and it did not disappoint.
I went to a singles' party, and there was some confusion about my name, so the hostess seated me at a different table than was originally planned. I got to meet a group of four who was attending on a lark as part of their ski club. We were getting along great, when one of them posted a group photo on Facebook. It turns out that mutual friends recognized me in the photo, so our instant rapport as a group was solidified by those credentials.
We were up until 5am at our Denny's afterparty, playing Cards Against Humanity. At the very least, I've made several new friends. I asked one woman for her number, and obviously I surprised her, because she gave me a really confusing answer and walked away for a bit. It's a huge difference from the past that I had very little internal reaction to this at all. I would hesitate to call it a reaction, because it was along the lines of "she self-disqualified" without any emotional content associated.
When we sat at Denny's, I sat down first and let everyone else sort themselves out. Later, she switched from the far end of the table to sit near me, and was laughing at my humor and touching my arm/shoulder a lot. I was too busy having fun at the time to recognize it, but there was some attraction there. At the very least, she could be a cool friend.
Shannon, thanks for contributing to the best NYE I've ever had.
