I think "the new guy" will be known as Blockhead. Mamma C gave him that name Saturday night, and I think it is going to stick.
He is an incredibly intelligent man, a very successful business man ... and, me thinks, at least mildly socially retarded. He says himself that he is an introvert, but I think it goes beyond that. I think he's socially retarded.
And I need to decide if I have the strength of self esteem to deal with that. Because even knowing that his social skills are lacking, the things he does hurt my feelings; my brain doesn't want to take them personally, but my heart and gut proceed straight to hurt.
Thursday and Friday night things between Blockhead and I seemed to be going very well. He was talkative and flirty; initiating conversations, etc. Saturday i was bar tending for a Legion event; he came by. He was in a bad mood when he got there due to some work stuff, but barely talked to me; and went back to the kitchen to help with some prep. I knew he had to leave around 7 for a family commitment; around 7 I said something to someone about him and they replied "Oh, he already left". Not even a goodbye. I was hurt, and I said something to Mamma C; she is teaching Baby Bear to say goodbye to his friends when they leave somewhere - maybe she could teach blockhead the same thing? That's when she christened him blockhead - it seems he does that all the time, and it annoys the *crap* out of her as well. So it wasn't personal, just annoying.
He is away on a business trip again for a few days. And of course, I am busy as well. We'll see when/if we get together again. If his brain works the way I suspect it does, I may just come right out and ask him if he is interested in seeing where this goes or not. I think I can do it without causing any weirdness between us. I'll gauge that, and decide.

If it were me...and you are just too sweet to be...I would be someplace (like a restaurant or movie or someplace)and excuse myself to go to the ladies room and leave. If he says anything about it, tell him that's how you felt when he left without say goodbye. I love revenge. I actually did this once to my date (back in the day when a date was something other than a fruit in the produce section). It was our first date and she was going on and on about who she knew, how connected she was and how she could be good for my career. I listened, excused myself and went home. She call all pissed off and stuff (she was left with the bill and she HAD NEVER HAD TO PAY FOR A MEAL WHEN ON A DATE and wanted her money back and a reason for leaving. I told her that if she was so connected to call one of her connections and get them to repay her and that I actually found my way home without her help. We didn't date much after that. Like never. How did I make it?
