I don't know if you're going to like me saying this, and I don't want to hurt your feelings, but it sounds like you've been reading a lot of young fangirl's descriptions of these HOMG AWESOME MEETINGS they've had with Darren Criss that haven't actually been all that...unbiased. A description of a hug that ends with "like he's holding you" sounds to me like a young girl who's starstruck and reading what she wants to read. You sound like two adults who sat down and had a conversation for ten minutes.
Doesn't hurt my feelings. I avoided most of the young girls' reports, saw their pictures and stuff, and talked to adult women mid twenties to early forties. They were all about the full body hugs and flirty contact. Maybe they're like twihard moms though. IDK.
The whole lack of flirtation wasn't a big deal. Feeling like he was talking to me like Steven and telling me to calm down and like I was stupid and didn't know anything and was some spoiled rich kid not appreciating culture or whatever and not even listening is where most of my chagrin/disappointment was from.
Yeah. I guess not having been there, it's hard for me personally to make a value judgement. Not minimizing your experience, but it's hard to say if, you know, maybe he was just tired, or maybe he really was being kind of a dick. Or maybe both.
Right. I said that. He's also been having a whirlwind drama bullshit the last two weeks with paprazzi and creepy fan shippers trying to force him to come out as gay and be with his partner on Glee. I was just documenting my experience and disappointment with the conversation.
:( *hugs* Sorry you didn't have a great experience. I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong and he was probably just having a bad moment, but I know that doesn't really help. Glad you got a lovely second hug though and some other good experiences x
I'm always wary about even just the idea of meeting people I idolize. Partially because of social anxiety (which would double with someone like that - I'd probably just stare stupidly and ask for a picture & or hug then be done unless they said something more in an opportunity like you had, even then I'd still be awkward) and also because I always think how in the world would they ever have time for me, IDK. This might not be relevant or make any sense. I met Keane once but that was just a signing. Met the bass player of Awolnation & that was the very picture of awkward, lmao. But yeah. That's just me.
I'm sorry it wasn't all you thought it would be. I wouldn't take it personally, because who wouldn't love you? <3 There's always the chance of a next time, y'never know. :)
((also the problems he's having with fans [recently?] sounds just awful, i'm kind of disgusted by that, eesh!))
