Rant about what happens to you IRL here. Don't post real names though.

So it's the 4th of July, and I went to hang out at a friends house with some other of his friends. Let's call my friend "Bob". We have a good time, talk, play Frisbee, etc.

We decide to go to a neighbors party that we go to every year. Some really cute girl my age comes(let's call her Kelly) and sits down next to me. She's a friend of Bob. I'm really, really shy, so I don't really bother to introduce myself or even say hi. I also struggled just to look at her out of shyness.

We talk as a group for a while about various things(Me, my friends, the girl.) I didn't notice this until later, but she was very clearly trying to sit next to me.

She would always sit next to me, even when being offered a chair elsewhere(she was sitting on the ground, as was I) She only accepted a chair when it was one next to me.

She was also quite abnormally nice to me, in a way I can't explain. The tone of her voice, how she talked to me as compared to everyone else, etc.

My friend's friend(let's call him Steve) is also single, and he is very clearly trying to get to know her. But he isn't shy like me. He's trying really hard. Talking to her a lot, all of that. And based on what others were saying when Steve/Kelly weren't with us, she didn't like him that much. But he isn't gonna give up. He's not shy at all.

So it's about time for the fireworks, and we go to this great spot we use every year. We have a blanket we brought(no one wants to sit on grass), and Kelly moves over and offers for me to sit next to her. So I do. Steve is sitting in front of me.

This is where I get REKT. Steve tells me "Oh, I'm a bit taller than you, you wanna switch spots? I might block the view of the fireworks". So I switch without thinking, not even realizing his ulterior motive or what I was even doing. Holy **** he's so smooth, switching to sit with her while making it look like a kind act instead of one out of desperation.

I didn't even realize it until I had already switched. And to make things worse I did it so abruptly and so carelessly that it made it seem like I don't even like her. The fact that I immediately had a conversation with someone else after made it seem like it had to happen.

I'm so ****ing smooth lol. Probably won't see her ever again, there's a decent chance she liked me too. I really liked her. Biggest failure I've had yet. I'm so shy and incapable of talking to girls, its sad. And I'm 18 years old...
