| I ran into a guy ("J") recently with whom things never really got off the ground from a platonic friendship. Some flirting and so forth on his part, but that was it. There were periods of months that would go by without our running into each other, so that didn't help either. Anyway, having not run into each other since last April, we ran into each other last week and started chatting, and his friend came up to us and immediately told me he found me very attractive. I graciously thanked him for the compliment, and J smiled. (I was not at all interested in the friend.) We all started to chat together and then went to play some slot machines. The friend hung by my machine, and then J came over, at which point the friend asked me to go on his boat the next day. I graciously declined. (Because I was not at all interested in this guy, I did not flirt or do anything other than engage in casual, friendly manner.) Then I was losing some free play money I won and was getting stressed, but still lighthearted. J told me I needed a massage and started to rub my shoulders for a few seconds then stopped. I told him that was the shortest massage I had ever had; he said there were too many cameras around to continue. They were getting ready to leave, but J wanted me to call him after the drawing in about an hour to let them know if they won. He gave me his card and must have told me to call him about five times within the next few minutes, and I told him I would. Minutes later, after I thought they left, J signaled to me and I went over to both of them, and he asked me if I wanted to have a drink with them after the drawing. I said yes, then he said we would just meet up at his friend's house. I immediately didn't care for that and hesitated for a few seconds and asked where his friend lived, which was only a few minutes away and he would give me directions after I called. When I called and left a brief message about an hour later, J then called a couple of minutes later and advised that his friend had "passed out" and that he apparently had too much to drink that night. (It was just after 9:00, and I didn't notice any signs of inebriation in his friend; I was immediately suspicious of this story.) I said O.K., then J said he had a "friend" over, which I took to mean female. I also said O.K., lightheartedly, not knowing what was going on with this whole thing. Then he said he would tell his friend that I called, and that they would have to make a raincheck, and they would call me another time. I said O.K. and wished him a good night. I am at a loss as to what exactly happened here. I don't know why I was invited -- and for whom. In an hour's time I was uninvited to something I didn't feel comfortable about anyway, but I had just thought the three of us would carry on our conversation over a drink or two, then I would leave. I had no other expectations or plans. However, I am confused about J's motives and what could have transpired in an hour for two reasons for me not to be included to arise. Please share your advice or opinions, because I do not know how to interpret this. | |||
