I'm "into" him...yeah, sure. Because you say so.

Three months or so ago I went to this party with my boyfriend and a couple other friends. I was already hammered when we got there. When I’m hammered I’m happy, talk a lot, am very friendly and smiley. I guess some people can take this the wrong way. As in wrong way, I mean they think I'm flirting.

For instance, I actually saw someone there I have known for 12 years. I was really surprised to see this kid there and kind of thrilled that I actually knew someone I didn’t come with. And coincidently, who I’d had a big thing for, for about a year 10 years ago.

Let me give you some background. I had a HUGE crush on this kid. So much so, that when he went into the army we would write each other all the time. Well, at one point we agreed that when he got back for a visit we would go on a date. We never did and I was crushed. I even tried to kiss him once, but he wouldn’t have it. Again, I was crushed. All the while he kept leading me on by continuing to write and call me. One night he called me and told me he had met a girl, whom he later married and bore children with. Yet again, I was completely crushed. It took me a long, long time to get over it. Matter of fact, I saw him four years ago at a party and could barely speak to him because I was still not over him.

So I see him at this party and immediately start talking to him and his wife. I’m just realizing, wow, I’m completely over this kid. I am so happy. I even introduced him to my boyfriend whom I’m so proud of. Remember, I’m drunk and very talkative. We are talking for a little while and he finally turns away from me and starts talking to his wife and some other girls. I wait for a second to see if he’ll talk to me again but then just walk away. Didn’t really think anything of it.

Later, my boyfriend and I are talking and he’s telling me how I was clearly into the guy I was talking to. I was flabbergasted. Seriously, for the first time in 9 years, I could talk to that kid and not have an ounce of any type of feeling for him what so ever. I was so ecstatic about that. Until that moment. Great. Now my boyfriend, whom I am so smitten with, thinks I’m into another dude. Fucking great. That was so not my intention. I seriously just thought it was cool that I knew someone. If he was a girl, I would have acted no different.
