***I'm at the bar, I've just ordered club soda and I'm about to head back to the patio.***
Jerk: Hey!
Me: Um, hi.
Jerk: I saw you earlier but you seemed like you were on a mission
Me: Um, yeah, I was headed to the ladies room.
Jerk: So how have you been?
Me: Good. I just got a promotion yesterday, so I'm pretty excited about that. As of Monday, I'm going to be The Man.
Jerk: Or, the WO-Man
Me: Oh, no. I'll be The Man. I have my surgery scheduled
Jerk: (silence)
Me: That was a joke
Jerk: Oh, yeah, well I'm a little drunk
Me: I'm pretty sure that even if you were sober you still wouldn't have laughed
Jerk: (silence)
Me: Well, I have to get back out to the patio. See you around.
***Walk back out to the patio. Look for my friend. Friend not there. See her ex and his friend, The Wall***
Wall: You look really hot tonight. I didn't even recognize you.
Me: Are you saying that I don't usually look hot?
Wall: You just look especially hot tonight.
Me: Um, thanks. Can we change the subject now?
Wall: I think that's the hottest thing you ever worn.
Me: OK, this is now the second most awkward conversation I've had tonight
***30 minutes later. I've found my friend. I am ready to leave***
Me: I'm going to head home
Wall: No! Come back to my place
Me: No
Wall: Come on, it'll be fun
Me: Absolutely not.
Wall: Come on
Me: J*****, how many times have you asked me to go somewhere with you, and how many times have I actually said yes?
Wall: Come on, there's a cab right there.
Me: I'm going to go. It's been a pleasure, as always.
