so tell me, is this weird? I go to dinner with these two female friends of mine, and as I'm leaving, one says she's going to go study at this cafe and invites me along. I say sure, and we go straight there, but she ducks into a store to get some sandals and says she'll meet me there. I get a table and order some tea, but when she later arrives, she sits at a different table a little ways away and says, "oh, I'm going to be spreading out and making flashcards"

I mean, it's like going to a movie theater with somebody and saying, you go get a seat, I'm going to that bathroom, and then sitting on the other side of the theater saying "oh, I like sitting on the aisle, I'll see you after it's over"

or like going to study in the library and sitting on the opposite end

I mean, yeah, we're both still studying, but the idea of going with someone else to study, at least for me, involves sitting in proximity so you can commiserate about study woes or whatever

if she had wanted to "spread out" and sit by herself, she shouldn't have invited someone else along to begin with.

In short, I think it was all either very socially dysfunctional or rude. I just paid for my tea and left. I mean, how should I react to that?

Sounds like she's the weird one.

Youre obviously going too fast and youre a creepy person. She should have a restraining order put against you!

silly gris!

She wanted to "spread out", you say? Sounds like she was hinting at something.

Yes, that was weird, she was weird.

Isn't saying "she was weird" sorta redundant?

That was weird. She is weird. And I believe that you are weird too (maybe).

You should have went over to her table, threw all of her stuff onto the floor and yell, "Well, YOU should write notes on THIS!" as you rip your clothes off.

Yeah that's a little odd, but she could have been seeing how you would react. Depending on your intentions with her you should have gone over and said something about how you agreed to study so you could come spend more time with her or some such.

sounds like "socially dysfunctional" to me.

You're weird. Unless you asked her why the **** she asked if you wanted to come before you walked out.

Spreading out and making flashcards?

Damnit gris you were supposed to get her on the table and make sweet love to her, with film rolling.

The only weird thing you did is not asking WTF is wrong with her.

She probably wanted to have someone she could trust with her in the midst of strangers. Even sitting several tables away, she would know you were right there and it would still be enough to keep her motivated in studying if you were studying, too.

Did you even ask her why she made the request? My guess is that she would have (or did) respond with, "Oh, I don't know. I wanted the company."

Agreed. Dont take **** from any *****

but she obviously didn't really think it through.

quite frankly if a girl asks me to tea, I'm going to expect to sit at the same table with her.

i fully endorse this statement!

You probably should have been like, "Awww crap, I left one of my books in the car. I'll be right back!" but instead ditch her and go get something to eat for the next hour or so. I bet she wouldn't have even noticed

I think you should beat her in the face with a shovel > : )

But then, right before the shovel makes contact with her face, shout out "FATALITY"

sounds like something happened in the sandal store.

No, it's definitely normal. I don't sit at the same table with someone until at least the third date.

Actually, not usually then either, but that's usually in a court room and she's the one who's invited me.

Roman's Seal of Approval

That sounds like the most trivial thing ever to happen in Trivial Land.

Mein Gott.
