OOT: Am I a Facebook nit?
My friend B is hosting a party at his apartment and inviting people through Facebook. The event will be small: about 15 people. He sent out an invitation to a girl named Nikki whom he met once at a valet event. I have worked with Nikki twice and exchanged numbers with her. She has expressed interest in hanging out with me, but we have fallen out of contact over the past two months. I have no romantic interest in Nikki. B and Nikki are not currently friends on Facebook, so he sent her a friend request with an attached message. Here is his message that went along with the friend request:
"Hey, Jason is thinking about going to an event in Ann Arbor on Friday and he is wondering if you would be interested. Please accept so I can send you an invitation." The following is our conversation on AIM immediately preceding the friend request: (8:42:27 PM) B: I actually want Nikki to come. (8:42:40 PM) B: I think she would introduce an entertaining dynamic. (8:42:45 PM) J: so invite her then.... DO NOT mention me (8:42:53 PM) J: please (8:42:59 PM) B: Hmm... (8:43:10 PM) B: Hmm... (8:43:13 PM) B: Okay, I can do that. (8:43:20 PM) J: ok (8:43:36 PM) J: do not mention me (8:43:40 PM) J: or if u do (8:43:45 PM) J: u could say jason might be going (8:43:46 PM) J: MIGHT (8:43:50 PM) B: Okay, awesome. (8:44:05 PM) J: its actually makes more sense this way (8:44:15 PM) B: Except she kinda hates me. (8:44:16 PM) J: since u will definately be there (8:44:19 PM) J: and i might not (8:44:22 PM) B: So it's less likely that she'll actually go. (8:44:36 PM) B: No, it makes less sense because she probably likes me less than zero. (8:44:39 PM) J: i think she is probably neutral (8:44:45 PM) B: As in she probably sees me as lower than neutral. (8:44:46 PM) B: Possibly. (8:44:46 PM) J: did u do something? (8:44:55 PM) B: Not especially. (8:45:06 PM) J: so i odnt see how u could be lower than neutral (8:45:11 PM) J: back in a flash (8:46:13 PM) B: But it's weird in a way. (8:46:32 PM) B: It'll sound like you don't want to ask her for some reason. (8:46:47 PM) B: Kinda like how it was weird that you didn't bring up anything to Christina. (aside...irrelevant to conversation) (8:47:06 PM) J: then dont mention me (8:47:12 PM) J: i dont care either way (8:47:19 PM) J: if i go, i might call her on friday (8:47:22 PM) J: we could leave it at that (8:48:08 PM) B: Does she know who "Jason" is? (8:48:36 PM) J: probably not (8:48:41 PM) B: Hey, Jason is thinking about going to an event in Ann Arbor on Friday and he is wondering if you would be interested. Please accept so I can send you an invitation. (8:48:48 PM) J: must take poo* (8:48:49 PM) J: brb (8:48:53 PM) B: Sending. (8:48:54 PM) B: Good? (8:49:24 PM) B: Sent. (8:53:15 PM) J: can i see (8:53:19 PM) J: copy and paste? (8:53:24 PM) B: Scroll up. (8:53:27 PM) J: oh (8:53:34 PM) J: you [censored] (8:53:41 PM) J: u gotta be kidding (8:53:43 PM) B: WTF? (8:53:58 PM) J: u are joking, right? (8:53:59 PM) B: I sent it to you for approval. (8:54:16 PM) B: Okay, what's wrong with it? Did B violate J's trust...? |
