Since I've finished college things have really gotten dull. I've ended up getting relocated to a village for work, that's 12 miles outside a nearby city. It has been a bit alienating going out there at nights. I've a few friends, but only one who's really possible to get a hold of. He's a Lithuanian in his early 20s. There'd be a slight language barrier and he's not great with the girls, but his attitude is great. He doesn't seem to mind being rejected at all.

Anyway, after an open mic, we both sort of spontaneously decided to head out for the night. It was great in that, it was just assumed that we were both out to get girls. I didn't even have to clarify it. Most other guys I know would just act like they're too cool to get together as a pair to hit on girls.

During the night, after these two girls (we were talking to) left us, I started commenting on which one I thought was hotter. Long story short he said something like "I like it when they're short cause then you can pretend you're f**king a 12 year old". After a pause I said "what?" which gave him the chance to say "just joking". I was in a busy environment, and since I guess it wasn't what I wanted to hear, I must have just blocked it out. I've no idea why he said it, he's definitely not dangerous or evil, but it just bloody well annoyed me that he had to say it. Everything was going great. I didn't really even have to get on with him, or have anything in common with him; but just to have someone there so it wouldn't feel so bloody alienating.

It wasn't until the next day that I actually remembered it, and said to myself "no, that was weird". He actually had to come by to collect something he left in my car that night, and I didn't like having to say it to him but I did. Told him I didn't like hearing it and I was confused why he mentioned it. He denied it and muttered some stuff while he avoiding eye contact. I couldn't really be sure if he actually didn't remember it - I don't drink after all. But I just needed to say it. I should have confronted him on the night. He didn't make contact with me after that, but after we happened cross paths and talked for a bit, he's since tried to make contact with me a few times suggesting we go out, but I fobbed him off. The thing is, since then I seem to have become more isolated.

Part of the reason it pisses me off so much is because I went out with different guy about a year back, who was a bit socially lacking, thinking to myself "the worst that could happen is that I might be seen with him, he's surely better than nobody!". But I could feel him watching me during the night and the next day he showed me a video he got of me dancing with this girl. Freaked me out! I felt so stupid for liking the fact that he looked up to me. So after that occurrence too, I don't want to end up being somebody who views things, that most people take for granted, as being too good to be true!

So could I get over this in order to use him as a companion... something to give me that extra bit of a sense of purpose. It's as if it's annoying me more just typing it. I feel like I'm sitting on a mountain of wisdom with less and less opportunities to use it.

Virgin,

I'm sure he was just joking about the paedo comment. It might be a little uncalibrated depends on the situation. but you shouldn't take it too seriously lol. anyway, just because someone is not as socially calibrated as you are, it doesn't make you any "better" than them. We've all been in a situation when we said stupid stuff. No need to bring it up to him again when he already told you he's joking lol. If you don't connect with him, don't hang out with him. Don't use someone for your own ego gratification.

And why did you freak out when the other guy took a video of you...free camera man to record your night and give you feedback man lol.

Thanks for reading Smith

Ego gratification? That's a bit demeaning. Just because I'm using him doesn't mean the relationship wasn't mutualitic. It's not ego gratification I'm after. It wouldn't matter if a wingman was far better than me. Amping up your state is a good thing. It's easier to get into an extroverted frame of mind if you're with someone.

I wasn't aware there was such thing as a calibrated paedo comment! I'm not sure why he said it, but obviously he'd say he was joking once he realised I thought it was weird.

I've heard of PUAs doing that, but this was different. It was an infringement of my privacy, and feedback from a social retard doesn't count. It was the first of many tell tail signs that dude was a weirdo.

And come to think of it, another time I met up with this Lithuanian for a open mic performance, he showed up high after me driving 15 miles. It really ruined the plan we had. So it wasn't the first time. Having remembered that, I think I'll steer clear of him.

My point is find a wingman who you enjoy hang out with lol. It makes going out more enjoyable than going out with a guy you don't click with. If he doesn't click with you, you don't have to go out with him just to get into state. It's counter-intuitive to what you want to achieve in my opinion. I had met up with some RSD guys and if I don't click with them, I would rather go out myself.

i didn't say that lol. and yea he calibrated in my opinion when he realized u took it seriously. So he's not that socially retarded after all. Just let it slide lol. If u don't want to hang out with him because u think he's a little weird, then don't. There's plenty of socially savvy guys you could go out with.

Thanks Smith,

I actually did click with him to a small extent (as much as you'd need to)... until he made that comment

But you did:

So how to do you make a calibrated paedo comment! I might imagine myself being able to pull off a joke about humping a goat, but not a paedo one.
Smith said:

You're actually giving him credit for that? Oh dear oh dear

That was a different form of cretin... the other dude, who videoed me.

I can easily throw racist, paedo, dead-baby, incest or any other "offending" comments without really a second thought. Saying things and doing them are two worlds apart. I dont usually take everything too seriously. I'm not trying to offend anyone intentionally and if someone really gets offended its not my problem. Just trying to shed some light what might be going on in your pals head.

Virgin,

I said the comment may be uncalibrated, which means it may have come across as awkward. I didn't say a paedo comment must be calibrated. You're confusing what I mean.

Look dude. I dont' know what you want lol. Yes i'm giving him credit for that, because he knows when he's being awkward. And he doesn't meant to! so let it go lol Different people have different sense of humour, some people might find u weird when u make a sex with goat joke. Do you want them to take it seriously and confront you? hell no. that would make it even weirder. right?
