I went to the second party I have ever been to. The first mistake I made was getting really drunk, the second was opening my mouth and the third was assuming things.
I like to test out things on people, try to figure out social dynamics quickly and not really care for the overall outcome of the situation. When I am drunk I evidently go all out with how abrasive and rude I am about things.
So here is the story from the start, I was hanging out with a friend, Ted. Well Ted is well known in the town, and it was not my normal stomping grounds. Ted said that he was unsure about what he thought about the people. I took this to mean he did not care much about the outcome of the event, so about two or so beers down I look at the female that had invited us and said ‘Ted likes you I know it.’ right in front of everyone. There were a few things I was testing there. One initial response to bluntness and what other peoples response was. No one liked it period, from what I saw people had no response what so ever. They did not tell me they that I was being an ass, they did not respond one way or the other to the question. They actually just decided to pretend it was not happening and they disregarded my presence all together.
I also learned that Ted was not being altogether truthful about the situation. Turns out that the roommate of the girl was someone he was interested and he cared a bit about the outcome.
I agree that I was an ass and I plan not to do it again. I am a little pissed that no one says anything they mean. If someone asks me a question I will answer truthfully, this includes my response of ‘ I do not feel comfortable discussing it, please stop asking.’ Seriously everyone there was felt the same about it but they tried to disregard it instead of answer the question.
So sorry Ted, no idea I was messing anything up. I knew I was being a bit of an ass, but no idea it meant anything.
