Tonight I realized something. I'm awkward. That's all there is to it.
I went to the gypsy den for open mic night again and just as a side note, its packed and you kinda take seating wherever you can get it. So a table opens up and I snag it. Soon there is a guy who is asking me if he can sit down and share my table. Knowing that there is unlikely to be any other seat in the house I say sure cause really I don't mind and new people are always fun to meet. So I continue my writing and he starts talking to me. And about 30 seconds in I get this feeling, (and I'm not saying this to make myself sound good but just to help you understand the fullness of my awkward evening) this feeling that at the end of this conversation when I get up this guy is going to ask for my number. So I very nicely try to avoid conversation and I can feel my awkward self seeping out of my pors. So he continues to try to engage in conversation and he's real nice and I felt kinda bad but at the same time all I wanted was to run away. So finally I get up to leave and I say that it was nice meeting him and then it comes...The moment that I was trying to avoid with my lack of eye contact and fast motions and ready keys, he says "is there any way I can get you number?" I look at him and without even thinking I say " no I don't think there is" and I turn and head for the door as fast as I can.
All that to say...I'm awkward. And I'm totally okay with it.

This makes me laugh. In a good way though. Especially your perfect response.
:D
You are the sweetest/most wonderful person I know... this would happen to you and you responded in the best way possible. You aren't awkward, you are just honest. I think its good that you answered how you did. You are on your way to Washington and can't just give your numbers to absolute strangers!!! ...
Much less to say, I am sure that if I asked for it, you would give me your number... luckily I already have it... Love you lovely lady!!! <3
