Probably the most fun I've had at a con out of the 5 I've been to, due to the awesome company. :3 No thanks to the flight over, though.

*WOOP WOOP* Incoming story alert *WOOP WOOP*

My first flight left SFO for Denver over an hour late, which meant that I missed my connection to BWI. By the time we got there they had rescheduled us on new flights, which they then changed the gates for numerous times and were then eventually cancelled.

While I was waiting for the rescheduled flight, I struck up a conversation with someone else waiting for my flight; he seemed kinda cool, nerdy, not really my type but at least someone to chat with during this obnoxious wait. He traveled a lot for work so he bought me a beer on his corporate expense account while we waited, and as we chatted he mentioned the fact that he had a fiancee but downplayed her a lot, then over the course of the conversation complimented me on my shirt (NASA ftw), glasses, and figure. I caught the obvious red flag but was like "ehhhh whatever" since at that point he seemed harmless.

Then we heard that our flight was cancelled. He offered to put us up in a nice hotel room with his airline miles if we couldn't get a flight out, "but we don't have to, like, do anything, it'd just be for sleeping". Red flag #2.

We talked to the airline and I did get a flight into Reagan airport, instead of having to wait for the next one to BWI (could have been as long as 7pm the next day); he seemed a bit disappointed that I didn't opt to wait, but I was kinda in a hurry to get to my destination. He decided to get that flight too so that we could keep each other company, even though it meant that he had to scramble for a way to get home. When we were on the plane the seat next to me was open, so he sat there instead of the economy plus or whatever seat he had because of his job.

Then he started talking about how since he travels a lot he and his fiancee sometimes have "opposite sex friends to go to". Except they don't talk about it with each other. And if he and I had actually stayed for the layover that he might have asked me to "do some things" with him.

At which point I mentally facepalmed and did my best to get myself out of the situation. I pretty much just said, "ummmm, no, that wasn't going to happen, I don't just have sex with people I met two hours ago." He actually seemed a little taken aback by this, but then apologized profusely for "assuming I was that kind of girl to have relations with people so quickly". Apparently he recognized that he was kinda trying to buy sex out of me. He then asked, "for my own ego, if we had known each other better, would you have still done it?" and I tried to spare his feelings with the inevitable "no no no no no" but I really shouldn't have because at that point I was pretty sure of his creeper-hood.

Then I actually gave him something of a lecture on going about open relationships in a healthy way; he said he would confess everything to his fiancee, and that "even if we'd gotten into the hotel room and started to do things, [he] probably would have backed out over guilt for [his] fiancee". ...Right. I tried to change the subject numerous times after that but he just kept apologizing and saying what a jerk he was and how guilty he felt about the whole thing, how he'd never done this before and how much of an asshole he must look right now, just digging himself deeper every single time. He asked for my facebook to keep in touch at one point partway though, I originally agreed but I came to my senses and rejected him once I got home.

Everything AFTER that was awesome, and at at least I have an amusing story now, but, dang.

tl;dr: if he acts like a creeper, he's a creeper.

I don't even think I could have been polite to him after hearing about the fiancee part what with all the pick up attempts.
