I needed to confirm with him that I did ask him out last week , and he agreed that I did , but the thing that was hazy to me was his answer . I know that he 's seeing someone , but did he mean that he would call me when he was interested , or IF he became interested ? I really do n't remember what was said after that , although I do remember him saying something about a beer after work ( which is what I asked him to do if he wanted to go out sometime ) . I really just need a drink right now .
Question: Why did the author proclaim " I really just need a drink right now " ?
The answer to the above question:


Because they are confused about a possible date with someone who may or may not have agreed to go out with them , so confusing !
