My awkward nature completely takes on a mind of its own when the more rugged sex is involved. For example, For example, my PERFECT dream boy and I were watching a movie, and one of the characters was HIV positive. I look at him and playfully ask, “Are you HIV positive?” This is fine as it’s obvious I’m in jokester mode.
But I proceeded to leap over the AWKWARD line. I guess I thought it would be cute and endearing to let him know that that very day I had been tested for HIV and was ecstatic that the results were negative.
“I was soooo nervous all day,” I believe was what I said. What? And I was disappointed that there was no making out? Who brings up HIV when they are on the verge of snuggling their brains out with the cutest boy alive?
Needless to say, I haven’t seen him since! Ugh, my so awkward life.
