Trying to not become a lamp in someone's creepy house...

I'm a nerd. I can admit this because at least I'm a cool nerd. I like to table top game, like DnD and Vampire: The Masquerade. Newly single, I thought it'd be a good idea to reinstate my dating site account. BIG MISTAKE! I got a flood of creepies and all kinds of random undesirable responses. Mostly they were hook up offers (No, thank you. I don't want VD) or desperate, "You're so beautiful."

Then the other night, I got a message from some guy. He said, "i saw you like table top gaming. well. im kind of getting a dnd group together and was wondering if you would be interested?" I thought to myself... THANK GOODNESS! Nerds to hang out with since the rest of my friends have lives, careers, and significant others.

Today, I ventured off to his house to meet him and the other players in the group. As I walked in... I realized something was terribly wrong. I was the only person there. Apparently, everyone else was "late."

I thought to myself : "Oh god... I'm going to die a cancer cunt in the middle of Rolling Acres with no one to hear me scream."

He kept commented on how cool I was and I finally was able to steer the topic to the game. We talked for a while, but dude could not stop staring at me. Either I had a boogie or he'd never seen a real girl that games. Other people showed up and it ended up being fine.... with the exception of a few "tickles" to see if I were ticklish and weird pats on my head.

Finally, I was ready to go and was told I couldn't leave. Luckily, other people showed up right as I was about to lose my shit and make a run for it. It got a weird... lay on top of me hug goodbye and got the frick out of there.

So much for easing into the dating world and just jumping into the creepy, shallow end of the gene pool. Now... I'm not sure if I will go back for character rolls or just cut my losses and run.
