#OMG: Face ... meet palm (#Cutestarbucksboy conclusion)

Aug 31

Wow. Wow. Wow ... I don't even know what that was ... but I bolted. Like hard ... and long ... and ... wait, are we still talking about Starbucks? Tangent, Jen! Tangent!!!!

So, there was this cute duderino sitting across from me today at this community work space table in Starbucks inside Harvard Square.

Seriously ... he was super cute. Looky, I even put my phone directly in front of his face and was able to snap a picture!

Epic, right? HAHA I was also just incredibly impressed that I was able to get away with that ... or uh, so I thought.

Seconds after I put up the post, the blond chickadee next to me saw it - and smiled. Alrite, no worries - I thought. She doesn't know the duderino, so as long as my cover doesn't get blown while I'm still sitting here - it's kosher.

A few more minutes go by - I keep tweeting away ... she then gets up to either get a coffee or use the restroom, and says something to the guy.

I honestly don't know what ... I use V-Moda earbuds and those fuckers don't allow ANY noise in ... but like 30 seconds after she says something he looks up at me and laughs. And not like the cutesey hey, I just saw something funny on the interwebz kinda smile/ laugh ... this was OMG, he either follows me on twitter and just saw his picture on this site, or that chick said something.

This continues for about the next minute. Now mind you, a minute doesn't sound very long - but imagine someone looking DIRECTLY at you and laughing for a SOLID MINUTE. And dudes, it wasn't like a Nelson (ha-ha) this was more ... awwwwww look at the cute little nerd with her cute little site that thought a boy was cute - isn't she just the CUUTTTTEESSSSTTTTT!!!!

I would have rather been laughed at like Nelson than sort of patronized by my IRL social awkwardness in approaching boys at coffee shops (I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO APPROACH GOSH DARNET!!)

If I could have crawled out of my skin, left all of my tech toys, I assure you - I would have. M-O-R-T-I-F-I-E-D.

I bolted.

Not like weirdly, I packed my belongings up - wrapping all chords, etc. But I wanted out. I still don't know what that chick may or may not have said, but I sure as fuucckkkk wasn't going to hang out IRL to find out.

omg epic life facepalm. Note to self ... take pictures of boys and post only after you have removed yourself from sitting directly across from them. Fuck now I have to find a new starbucks.
