The Suspiciously Nice Guy Friend
It is after church on a Sunday and one of the guys in your social group strikes up a conversation with you. You talk for quite a few minutes, and he seems really interested in asking about how you are doing, what's new in your life, how that latest endeavor of yours is going, and so on. It seems kind of strange that he is paying this much attention to you because he usually just offers a "hi" and "what's up" and a quick convo when you are together in the group.
Then he says sweetly, "I have been wanting to ask you something."
In an instant, you are filled with rising emotions. "This is the moment," you think. Though you are not even really interested in this guy, you are so glad to think that someone is about to ask you out! You start thinking about this guy in a new light. Could I see myself with this guy? Could he make a good boyfriend? What would we do on our first date? How will I answer when he asks me out?
Your daydreaming is interrupted when he says to you, "You know your friend (fill in name of your cute friend)?"
You think, "What?"
"Do you think she likes me?" He says, as you think "What?!?!?"

| Complete embarrassment ! =) |
The drive home alone from church is a tough one as you plead with God to forgive of whatever sin has caused you to be a chronic single always going through these kinds of situations. But you remain your resilient and always, supposedly, in control self: in no more than a week you are over it because you have decided to take up a new hobby - you always wanted to be a rhythmic gymnast!
