DP has a best mate, 'Sam' who is a kind and funny person but can read the room wrong sometimes. Sam thinks he is possibly autistic and we (his friends) agreethat this makes sense. He also drinks waaay too much on a night out to the extent that he sometimes gets thrown out of pubs for being too drunk.
DP, Sam and I have recently spent a lot of time together rehearsing for an open mic night.
Last night we all went out to watch a band, I was driving so obviously not drinking, DP had a few drinks but not many and Sam was increasingly legless. So much so that people kept getting annoyed because whilst watching the band he was jumping around (a pint in each hand) and inevitably he kept spilling drinks over people. DP and I spent the evening apologising for him and moving him away from others and taking his drinks off him and telling him he didn't need anymore. Honestly it was like babysitting!!
I went outside to get some fresh air because it was boiling hot in the pub and Sam followed me. He gave me a lurching type hug which I moved away from and then told me I was a very tactile person and that he isn't usually but he is with me so what do I think THAT means. I said I have no idea and started to move away from him and he said I think it is sexual....I said, "fuck no, it is NOT! I am with DP!! And I'm going to find him now!"
Ugh...this is DP's best mate!! So I told DP immediately who said "let's not mention anything to Sam, he was really drunk. I wish we hadn't gone out now, it's ruined the night."
This is so awkward now. We spend quite a bit of time with Sam rehearsing. But right now I don't actually want to see him at all. I want to keep a wide berth. How does that work when Sam and DP spend so much time together?? Plus, DP doesn't want to raise it with Sam??
