I think I got hit on today: an update

Oh, also!  I found out the story behind the hitting-on-me guy.

After a couple more Incidents which were puzzling to me (aside from the “no thank you” conversation, he is just not the type of guy who I would expect to be hit on by), I confided in Liz the Stage Manager.  She laughed a lot but told me that she thinks he’s just a friendly theatre guy.  I said, “You’re right, you’re right,” and let it go.  Then the next day, she leaned over during notes and said, “I have a story. About HENRY*.”

Later she told me (and then even later Henry himself confirmed) that Henry moved to the Bay Area for a girlfriend 3 years ago, thinking they would be engaged within a year.  After being in a relationship for 5 years, she broke up with him on Christmas Eve.  This last one, like less than a month ago.  Ouch.  So now we’re both really really sweet to him, and let him talk on the headset about wine and steak au poivre.  He’s actually a pretty nice guy.  (Although whenever he says “Woot” over headset I can’t help but groan a little inside.)

*Name changed to protect the innocent (if not innocent, then at least not guilty).
