So I went out for dinner last night with a few people from the anime group (which I'm sure I've mentioned here before). One of the guys had actually been banned from the group (come to find out it was for bothering the girls and making bizarre comments). Silly me, I figured the presence of other people would get him to behave a bit normal...well, yes and no.
He announces his presence by sneaking up behind me and putting a hand over my eyes; he's lucky I knew he was coming. There was a pack of businessmen near me who shared in my "WTF" look...it's perfectly acceptable to walk two more steps and sit down next to someone to get their attention. Especially if I have my nose in a book. Otherwise you run the risk of being hit by said book or possibly worse.
The walk to the T began a mildly odd line of questioning. When finding out that I'm living with my mom, he says: "Are you ever gonna get a place of your own?" (I had one, lost my job, couldn't keep up with the rent...why do you need to know all the details?).
Dinner itself was pretty normal; he was expounding on which celebrities had Aspergers and why; a lot of his 'analyses' were shot down by the rest of us. That was fun...he also claimed that drinking milk was the same thing as eating meat because if you're drinking something that comes from a cow you're also eating the cow (er, what?).
As it turned out I had to bail shortly after dinner to get some homework in under the wire (hanging out at the mall was the best he could come up with?). Nobody else in the group has even taken online courses but the other two understand. He comes up with: "Come on, don't tell me you have a curfew." Friend reins him in; he tries to kiss me before I can scamper off.
He doesn't strike me as creepy per se, just a bit too forward; he's nice, but not really the type of person I'd want a real relationship with. Not sure what I'm going to do if he starts calling 6x a day...

One of the other guys asked him to explain the meat/milk thing and I could almost hear the gears in his head grinding.
