Boys are just silly.

A certain boy was telling people at work that a couple of weeks ago, at a party we both attended, I tried to kiss him. Can I just say, right off the bat - I did NOT. Another one of the guys told me, didn’t think it was quite true and thought I should know. And then when I was talking to one of the other girls, he had told her too. Just as we finished talking about it, he walked in.

I wasn’t sure if I should confront him or not. I mean, I knew I hadn’t tried to kiss him - was that enough? No. I wanted to stop him from telling people untrue things about me (a few weeks previous he told the store that I liked another one of the boys working there. Also untrue.)

I walked up to him, confronted him. He was a little shocked, I think. At least, that’s what the look on his face told me. First, he denied it. Then when I said who had told me, he went with the defense ‘I didn’t tell EVERYBODY’. And when I questioned him further, he replied with ‘Well, you hugged me”.

“Yeah, I was drunk, I hugged you. I was hugging everyone”
“Well.. it was weird”
“It was a hug”
“I suppose I got confused”

I just walked away. I don’t hold grudges, I’m not angry. I just don’t understand how an innocent hug turned into something so much more! If a hug was an intent to kiss, I wanted to kiss lots and lots of people that night. I like hugs, a lot.

Honestly, I don’t think he thinks I tried to kiss him. He just decided to tell people that I tried.

Boys are just silly.
