Red Flags, Rejection and then Resentment

This weekend was kinda rough. I had a great time Friday night going out with some of my coworkers to Left Hand Brewery for a couple drinks, but Saturday evening was just awful.
I logged on to Facebook on Saturday and remembered that one of the guys from the social circle I spent the summer with was having a housewarming party since he recently bought a new condo.

That place was awesome. I'd love to have my own place like that someday. I wasn't really in the mood to go, but I needed to get out of the house and have some fun. It was an 80's themed party and it was rather amusing to be able to find a proper outfit so quickly out of my closet.

(I need to go clothes shopping this next weekend)

I showed up to the party around 9PM thinking I was being late, but I was glad to see that nobody else has a good concept of time and most of the people didn't show up until later. That annoys me a bit for some reason.

Well, the party was awkward for me. I hadn't seen a lot of the friends lately and I think they felt a bit blown off. Anyone close to me kinda knew that I have been in a funk, so some nodded and understood.

The winner of the evening was Kate. I had once considered the idea of maybe starting something with her. But once we had some alone time to talk about it, I saw something that threw a huge RED FLAG. When I called off the whole idea, she got upset. Women...

I haven't really sat down to talk with her, but she definitely seemed to be ignoring me that night. As we danced around from social circle to social circle, we finally collided into the same one for a few minutes. It was rather humorous how much she avoided conversation with me. I wonder if anyone noticed?

Around 11:30PM, I had had enough. As I gathered my things, I went around to everyone and paid my respects. As I was saying goodbye to everyone, there came that moment where I think we both realized that we'd have to bite the bullet and say goodnight to each other.
I walked up to her and said goodbye like it was any other evening and gave her a hug. She tried hard to fake it too, but I could feel her contempt. She made a face that I had seen before when she was expressing her resentment over how things went down between her and Jennifer.

I want to feel sorry about the whole situation, but nothing happened. That's the funny thing, NOTHING ever happened. Maybe our friendship will never be the same. I accept that since it's no new lesson to me. Maybe this is goodbye Kate. I don't know...
