how do you deal?
I went shopping tonight after work and met a guy I work with, and we started walking around the store together. Then I saw an acquaintance that I talk to sometimes in class and I guess I was feeling confident because I wasn't alone, so I looked cool, lol. I call his name out - "Hey, _______!" at the same time some other girl does. He goes to greet her enthusiastically and probably didn't even hear me. So I jokingly say (in a much louder voice) say "Fine! Ignore me, then! *smile*" He glances at me, gives me a half-assed "oh, hey" in a "you bore me to death" tone, raises his hand at me as if it's being weighed down and he can barely lift it, and then immediately turns to talk to the other girl again.
I know it's no big deal. It's not like we're friends and honestly our conversations in class usually last about a minute, total. Maybe I annoyed him. Idk. But that was seriously embarrassing to me. It was one of those moments where I was thinking "I can't believe that happened. I can't believe that happened in public. I can't believe that happened in public, in front of somebody I know" My coworker laughed and we had a conversation about how disinterested he acted and how he barely acknowledged me so I know I wasn't exaggerating...
I just feel like next time we're in class together, I'm going to feel incredibly awkward and uncomfortable...
