Hung out with former coworker again. We have been texting each other every few days back and forth since we hung out a month ago. He asked if I wanted to hang out again and I said sure.
We played a bit of chess and got some food, walked around a park. He mentioned his friend who lives near by and casually mentioned he should introduce us. I thinking he wasn't very serious said sure, I was pretty nervous about it and regretted saying okay to it but I think I did alright in the interaction overall. He did a pretty good job trying to make me seem like an affable guy to his friend.
The only downside is that now he wants to hang out with me and my "friends" some time. When I have none. I don't know if I can keep up this charade of being a semi-normal human.
