Overstepping Boundaries

Everyone knows that there are different levels of friendship. Some folks are considered acquaintances, some are mentors, Internet friends so on so forth up to BFFs. More often than not, people pretty much tend to know their roles by the frequency of time spent together, personal information shared and the overall vibe when spending time together.

This blog has to do with an acquaintance. For those of you who don't know, 'cause obviously she doesn't, an acquaintance is defined as: 

An acquaintance is often called someone you "know in passing" and means that you may see and interact with the individual on an occasional or even regular basis, but they are not your actual friend. Unless the person acknowledges you as a friend (and you spend time together outside of the function or event that brought you together), you are an acquaintance. The distinction to friendship comes when a personal relationship has developed

Now, a sure fire way to push yourself out of that category is to overstep established boundaries. Do not get loud and rowdy and talk over everyone because you want to be heard RIGHT NOW. Do not fixate on one person and make them uncomfortable in their own space. Do not act like a damned fool and bring unwanted attention to the rest of us when in public. DEFINITELY do not make it clear to everyone that you are interested in the relationship being more than casual and tell straight females, "I could have been had you if I wanted you." Ummmm......WHAT THE FUCK?!?

This situation has confirmed for me that this particular person needs to no longer be an acquaintance. As if her outlandish behavior wasn't enough, she really jumped waaaaay across all sorts of lines and thus has landed herself out of bounds. Drunk or not...she obviously meant what she said because she said it with conviction. Meanwhile, three of us are sitting there with mouths wide open....speechless.
