Dammit all, fuck. I would've been better off isolating, this probably looked worse. Fuck

Don't beat yourself up over it. Now you know better for next time. Treat it as a learning experience.

Why didn't you just hit them up in that side room after

I wasn't invited to the side room.


Just gotta knock and be like "let's take shots" or whatever. And you already got stuff from the store, that's your invitation right there

Dude, just ****ing roll with it. Interacting socially with women without all the pressures of sex is valuable practice for interacting with women when those pressures are present. Screw resentment, screw the whole teasing concept. Take advantage of the fact that there is no possibility for confusion, and don't get confused.

I said I'd be right back, I wanted to just not be leaching off their stuff if I was drinking with them.

Youre too nice of a person. In that situation you just say yes and if you need to buy next time or pay them back or order the late night delivery.

Should have never left but Im sure plenty of us have been there and just gotta learn from it.

Yeah, by trying to make things better I think I made them much worse. :/

Hopefully none of the people thought I was weird because of it.

I'm starting to believe your stories on your own social ineptitude. Folks like to share beverages with people all the time, especially with alcohol. This is pretty well known and not something to worry about.

And if you feel bad, then show up the next day with a fifth or six-pack to make up for it...don't run off to get beer right then and there. I would only assume you did this as an excuse to escape the situation...likely a social anxiety thing.

Even worse, when you blow off stuff like that it makes them wonder why they invited you in the first place. If they ask you to do stuff again, do NOT refuse or they'll stop asking, period. Folks will only extend invites so many times.

I'm not particularly aware of standard protocol.

Honestly my mind went "ok let's say they give me a shot, and I'm enjoying myself and i want to have more, well I don't have alcohol here, so I really can't ask for me, but if I went out and bought some quick then I could have more and even offer them some"

If she invited you to have shots, why would you need to buy anything else? Just take the shots.

Also, TC, women are human beings just like you are. They pee, eat, poop, have morning breathe, etc. You shouldn't treat hanging out with a woman no different than anyone else. Just be natural and don't put them on a pedestal.

You didn't need to drive if you ran out of alcohol. Just chill and see how things flow. Don't worry about what might happen in an hour, focus on the now and then.

If he was straight it would be a bit odd he'd have female friends over and some people might say "stop trying to cockblock your roommate" or something.

Think it through, imagine I had not included that fact, at least 1 person would have accused me of "macking on his girl" or something. "Bro, your roommate is probably trying to get with her, stop getting in the way!" they would have said. It's useful information why he has a female friend for whom he has 0 interest in a romantic way that my social interaction could complicate.

Maybe they've got pills for your form of social anxiety. Don't be afraid of the stigma behind this stuff and get some help because posting on a video game board isn't going to solve it.

I've seen psychologists for a while. I'm currently seeing one now. He just kinda sits there and makes me do all the talking about everything, I'm not sure how to use him as a resource like you seem to be advising. If you have suggestions about what I should say to him I will.

Unless I want to go to a liquor store hard lemonade is the most I can get from a gas station.

And they went to Denny's so I don't think I could buy a drink there.

I was saying I didn't want to go to the liquor store, it's far away, so just a quick drive to the gas station, and the hardest stuff a gas station has is mike's hard lemonade

Yeah, leaving was a bad move. Obviously you realize that now though. They simply gave the same courtesy you did and left as well. It was already their plan to leave anyway so waiting on you to return would hinder their night, plus they likely weren't even sure if/when you'd actually be back.

Also, about thinking that you'd believe she was interested if you were attractive... That's not true either. People like us, with such low self esteem won't believe it regardless. The strike out record just keeps the esteem low enough to generally not get your hopes up. So it hurts a ton when you actually do.

Asked if I wanted to come out to the living room and hang out with them and maybe do shots. I said sure but I needed a few minutes to run to the gas station quick. (In my mind it was going to be a kinda party night or something so I thought I could pick up some hard leomonde to share just in case, maybe chips if my roommate wanted them). She wasn't into me but she was acting interested in interacting with me, if I were attractive I could see her behavior being possibly interpreted as interest. (But it definitely wasn't)

Roommate said they were going out to dinner soon, I said I'd be back super fast. I hurried back but they were already gone. I was down to hang out with them, but when they came back they all went to a side room and we never did shots. I was frankly excited to interact with a new person who was female. because it has been many years since a female wanted to hang out with me in person in a social setting.

Now I'm kinda pissed off that I got involved at all, because ultimately it was just kinda a tease. Like I'm depressed enough to know girls can't like me, but then to bait me with "this girl wants to interact with you and might enjoy your company" just to have "nah, jk" on me was a big bummer.
