Very Awkward

Have you ever been put in a very awkward situation. Take tonight for example. I was meeting Jacyn at Starbucks for an iced tea (she actually got iced GREEN tea, but that is besides the point) and I happen to get there a few minutes early. I was then confronted with the decision to wait outside for her in front of Startbucks or go inside and sit at a table and wait for her. If I went inside I would then be confronted with the issue of, do I order and sit down and wait for her or sit down and wait and then order with her, or just hang around the doorway and wait until she comes in? So avoiding this absolutely ridiculous decision, even though it was raining out, I decided to stand outside under cover and wait for her.

I found my place directly to the right of the door and was completely content until I heard the door slowly open and close next to me. I turned and saw this guy exit Startbucks. Right off the bat I was completely sketched out by this fellow because he had a scary resemblance to a guy I went out on a date with about a year and half ago. Needless to say, this date didn't go very well and because this guy reminded me of him...I actually moved a little bit more to the right of the door.

Great. Then he decides to pick up his phone and leave his friend the most ridiculously long and boring message ever. At first I thought he was actually speaking to the kid, until he ended the call with "SO call me back if you want, peace!" I was relieved when his message ended thinking that he would enter the building again. But I was wrong. We actually stood maybe 10 feet away from each other in complete silence for a good 3 minutes. The entire time I was thinking, "Do I look over and smile?" or "do I just stand here and act like he doesn't exist!" But the thought that was racing through my mind the most was..."Where is JACYN!?"

Luckily the kid picked up his phone again, moved further away from me, and Jacyn pulled into the parking lot. I know that this situation may not sound awkward to most people, but for some reason it was very uncomfortable for me. To make things worse, this random kid placed himself directly behind Jacyn and I in Startbucks and continued to look over at the table...ODDD!

Ooh...and the most awkward thing about this short meeting at Starbucks was that my mother and her friend were also there and called us over for an awkward chat in the middle of the store.......
