Last weekend I had my first "stage performance" doing my own material at a show that I regularly tape. I was feeling like a rock-star. After the show a cutie comes up and starts chatting, 'I enjoyed your bit.... I see you're taping the show... my material was read by the host - can I get a copy of the tape?" gives me her email... and we talked for an hour or two [shes' probably early 30s]. I introduced her to the other actors, all developing a good vibe. We're talking to one of the actors, Cass, a friend that I'm hot-n-bothered-about, who says to us "...come to my show on Tuesday?". The cutie turns to me, "you going Tuesday?", "Why yes, of course" [I wasn't planning on it, but, I was suddenly sure of it].

On Monday Cutie emails me "....see ya tomorrow night right?" Yeah - whoooozYoDaddy! I'm psyched.

Tuesday, she shows up, we chat, watch the show. Lively fun chat. As the theater is closing up, I casually say "want to go get something to eat - pizza or something?" - she pauses, an uncomfortable look on her face, "um... well.... not tonite... maybe another night?" Blow off. Ok. We chat a little more, then *she* mentions it again, with a slightly different meaning "so yeah, one night I'd like to go out for dinner..." But, said it flatly. Then she had to go her way, and me on my way. Still a blow-off, but, now it was odd.

Havnt heard anything since, dont expect to. I spoke to one of the actors at the show that night, whom I introduced Cutie to, and told her this story. She laughed, "I dont think she was interested in YOU - I think she was interested in Cass!"

I thought about it... thought about it... and danm it, I think thats exactly it.

Ouch

Mike, I thoroughly enjoy the way you describe life and tell a tale.

"Mike, I thoroughly enjoy the way you describe life and tell a tale."

Thanks! I'm glad someone finds it funny! Gotta be something redeeming in these kinds of things. Worse, this is the SECOND time in 2 months that a woman was coming-on-to-me to get to female friend. Weird - not exactly my ideal fantasy....

Dang Dude Sorry man..

my two cents - don't let them throw you out on the curb.

Next time you should totally spark a threesome.

LOL, Irony, it shows up at the most awkward of times, right?

Still, maybe she had other things on her mind, right? Could be possible, or she could just want to be friends (I know, like the cake song says, it can be a four letter word, but don't think about it that way). There are a million and one reasons for it happening, including the fact that she is interested in being around you for you...just not in that fun and sweaty way .

Don't want to step on your toes, but seems you might be jumping to a certain conclusion too fast. Slow down & find friends frst. If after a few (3 or more) casual meetings, there seems to be a mutual attraction; then ask for a more date style meeting. It will be easier on your feelings & might help you make a whole bunch of friends. Never know where friends will take you or introduce you too.

Just a thought.
