I don't understand

As noted in my last post I recently put Awesome in touch with Fireboy’s Slightly Strange friend so they could talk about boy stuff I guess. In return for agreeing to talk to Awesome I promised The Slightly Strange Man a beer for his troubles. Seems fair, right? He is a nice guy we always have a good time chatting, what’s the harm really?

Yesterday I he sent me message asking me when I was going to buy him beer. We threw out a few different days but nothing was lining up including last night because I was going to a poker tournament. We continued along our idol chat for a while and then I said if I was kicked out of the game early enough we could have a beer after my poker game. Sounds good he said here is my number, give me a call. After an hour of poker I was out so I thought, beer, good conversation, slightly strange man, why not? So I called him. Here is an abridged version of the conversation.

TSG: Hi, it’s TSG. What are you doing?

SSM: Nothing really. I have a house guest here now and some people are coming over in a bit. And you?

TSG: Well I just went bust in the poker game, so I am calling like I said I would to offer you that beer I owe you, but I guess you can’t, unless there is a cash bar in your apartment …

SSM: No there isn’t a cash bar. I was just going to go to the liquor store and buy some booze and pick up a movie for the gang to watch.

TSG: Right … Okay well I guess … I guess I will have to buy you a beer another time. Later

SSM: Okay. Sounds good. Bye!


I don’t understand, he contacted me and gave me his number and told me to call … and then gave me the brush off. If this is some sort of mind game to get me to like him by acting all uninterested, it isn’t working. And it won’t work, because I’m not into aloof and artsy guys who ... oh wait … Crap.
