I had drinks with a guy the other night – more on the guy and how I’m finding myself in yet another mess later – and I want to discuss people’s reactions.
We drank wine for the better part of the night; I think I was sober by 3 a.m.
I mentioned it to a couple of people, who nearly all asked some variation of, “did you hook up.”
And when I replied nothing happened (and truly nothing did) – we simply sat and talked, I was asked, “Well do you think he likes you?”
It strikes me as strange that in this society that because we didn’t kiss, make out (I’m in my 30s, can I still say make out?), or have sex, there is a question as to whether or not he likes me.
I’m going to say, I know he likes me because after the second glass of wine, I told him for every glass he poured I’d be there for another hour to sober up, and he kept pouring (not just from that bottle, but from another as well).
Or maybe it’s me … maybe the assumption is because I’m in my 30s but not looking to get married, I’m only supposed to want sex.
All I know is, sometimes I find it all a little frustrating.
I just wanted someone to say, sounds like you had a really great night, because I did.
