Sometimes that fear or nervousness manifests itself in other ways. We went to a meet and greet a couple of weeks ago, and shortly after we arrived a new couple, brand new first timers, arrived as well. They sat at a table by themselves, and continued to sit alone for a while after that. So Janette and I, knowing all too well what it's like being new and alone, decided to be a couple of nice guys and asked to sit with them to give them some company. Janette did the asking, and the guy says "well, they're all free, you can sit where you like".
Huh?
We're quite sure he didn't mean to sound abrasive, but was just nervous and maybe a tad defensive as a result. We gave them the benefit of the doubt anyway.
