People become increasingly abrasive the longer they are single... or so it seems with some. Like right now, I feel as if I'm going in that direction myself. I met a person over the weekend who truly seems to be... I'd guess we have around the same likability/dislikability quotient... both a bit too unique, thus interesting, yet unpredictable, maybe even the talk of the town, though not really the type you'd want to get close to... or get to know past "hello, my name is" and a few drinks...

Over the weekend I was presented with the chance to meet a few other people. On Friday night at the club, I met around 6 generic-looking Asian people (friends of friends), whose names and faces I can barely remember. On Sunday nite, I met more friends of friends... and find it funny how I almost instinctively avoided getting to know the ones that I knew were Christians... Evenso, I think I got "chatted up," as a friend would put it, by one of them...

Meeting new people is fine and dandy. I'm just not sure what to do with them these days... after the initial introductions. I've said "hi" to you, I know what you look like, and now I know what you do during the day and on the weekends... can it just end there? Do we have to find a common interest and try to turn each other into friends? Why am I feeling so guarded and antisocial in these last few days? Don't I want to make new friends?
