And to your right is a building called..... excuse me while I barf

I've been hopping around temporary housing a bit lately, and recently relocated myself a bit further away from where I've been living in recent years so I could stay with family.  It's comfortable here, but the only downside is I'm further away from all my friends.  The Disbeliever immediately jumped in and mentioned she knew a guy who is not too far away from where I am now, and suggested we connect on Facebook.

I have no expectations that this would end up being a date, but it seems like when you're dealing with a complete stranger, there is a certain level of manners that should be met.  At least until you get to know a person--then you can be a bit more casual.

This guy didn't say much at all.  The following online conversation took place over the course of a week.

• Him:  Hey how are you? [Disbeliever] told me you just moved to [new area]. Where in [new area] did you move to?
• Me:  Hey there, yeah, I just moved in with my cousin for a while--in [town A], which is sort of near [town B]. She said you were in [new area] too? Somewhere a little closer to the city, like [town C]? Not much out here that I can tell--someone told me about some castle I should go see, but I forgot the name. What else is out here?
• Him:  Hey. Yes I'm I'm [town C]. Been here for 5 yrs. it's pretty nice for a small city. Have u been?
• Me:  Nope, never been to [town C]. I haven't seen much of any of [new area], actually.
• Him:  You should come down to [town C] sometime. I will show you around the area. (###) ###-####
• Me:  Cool, that would be fun. Let me know when is good for you. (###) ###-####

Not a bad start, I was just a little annoyed that it took a week to have such a short conversation.  I was scratching my head a bit over this last bit though, which came in yesterday:

• Him:  I would suggest tonight since I'm free...but I'm also hungover. There was a [town C] SantaCon yesterday...

So, was he suggesting playing tour guide for me while he's hungover?  Or making an excuse for not meeting up on a day we hadn't arranged in the first place (and which would have been last-minute anyway)?  Why tell a complete stranger about being hungover?  We can meet up whenever, I don't really care, but why not just suggest an actual day when your schedule is free, a few days in advance?  Sabrina would not like this ambiguity--suggest a day, hopefully giving me a couple days notice, and set it up!  Why are guys so wishy-washy?

Oh well, it isn't a big deal, and I have other things to worry about.  We'll see what comes of this.
