My Couch is Haunted

Hey friends! I've come to tell you a story about a certain couch in my living room.  This is 100% true.

Flirts

So...you know me and all about how nearly every social situation turns me into an awkward stuttering fool, right?  Yeah.  Well the one situation that takes the cake is when people I don't know try and flirt with me.  Notice I said people, not just men...women flirt with me too.  All the dang time.  And I hate it! 

Now, it's one thing to be flirting with someone I'm already in love with, where an actual relationship has been determined.  But random flirting from random strangers? It makes me so uncomfortable I can't even put it into words...I don't know how to act!  It happens everywhere I go. 

In the grocery store:

In my classes:

On the side of the road:

At the plasma donation center:

On the bus:

While I'm holding hands with my boyfriend:

Can't you see I'm taken? Douche...

Even when I haven't showered and I'm all gross:

It drives me nuts when I don't know how to navigate a situation.  I've tried everything from freezing up to attempting to flirt back to literally running away as fast as I can.  Nothing seems to ease the discomfort.  I suppose I should be flattered that everyone and their dog wants to get my attention...but it's hard to feel flattered when you're so busy stammering and avoiding eye contact.  Blahhghhggahg...

...Been a while eh?

Hello friends...

No, I did not die, in case you were wondering. I've only temporarily lost my funny, but I have a feeling it'll be back real soon!  I think the stress of doing absolutely nothing all semester chased it away...

In other news, you may have noticed a few changes here at Socially Awkward.  If you haven't noticed, it's probably because you're blind and you can't see the cool new things I added.  I just want you to know I did it on purpose and I think it brings more personality to the page. (As if I need anymore personality)

I want to let you know I have about ten stories currently under construction and...just that...they're under construction.  Maybe they'll be finished someday so I can entertain you more.

Ok, well that's all I really wanted to say.  Stay tuned for more awkward me.

Love, Chels :)
