| girl Thursday. I was sitting at the coffeeshop I go to, on the bench along the wall. Sitting at the table next to me was some random dude I've never seen there before. In walks this girl that I'd say was an HB8. Cute as hell, too bad about her back tattoo (I'm not fond of tats). Anyway, she walks up to the guy sitting next to me and introduces herself. They are in an online class together.
The girl takes out a sheet of paper and starts talking to the guy about the project they have to do for class. After she talks for about a minute about the project the guy says something like "I didn't want this to be so much about business, I really just wanted to meet you and say hello". The girl is slightly creeped out at this, and when the guy looks down at his drink, she looks directly in my eyes. I gave her the "he's creepy" look and went back to my book.
At this point, she sticks around and makes conversation with the guy. She is clearly being polite, but they have about five minutes of painful conversation about the class they are taking. The guy DLVs several times. He said that he always gets told "there are plenty of fish in the sea", says "this class may be over my head", etc. Then he really stuck his foot in his mouth. The girl was talking about the professor thinking she was a sophomore when she is a Junior. The guy then, for whatever reason, thinks it's a good idea to say "well, I searched your e-mail address in the University Search thing, and it says you are a sophomore there, that's probably why". (how stalkerish is that?) Second eye code, I roll my eyes. Girl ejects.
I'm back at the coffeeshop yesterday and run in to the girl. She walks up to me and says "how creepy was that yesterday?" and we ended up talking for about ten minutes. I made sure to drop my 'girlfriend' in there several times, because I was just not in to sitting around talking to someone I'm not interested in, and she didn't even use a FTC, which would have put me at ease. So, I now see the use of those as well.
