People are weird

Met someone at a coffee shop today, and after "Hi," the first thing out of his mouth was "Make yourself homely."  Uh, what?  For frak's sake, why would I want to be homely?  It certainly won't win me any academy awards.  Even if he meant homey instead of homely, homey wouldn't have worked in that sentence, either.  Maybe "Make yourself at home," which would be strange in a public place, but understandable.

But "Make yourself homely?"  Maybe it's just me that's weird.

Then later in the conversation, he asked me, "So, how can I help you?"  Um, help me?   I'm still confused about what he meant by that one, since I met him there to you know, chat, see how I felt about friendship with him.  I have to tell you, I'm not feeling too keen on the idea, though it's not because of his bizarre conversational offerings.  i mean, I like my friends weird, but the good kind of weird, not the borderline creepy kind of weird.

The point is to make friends that are near me, to get out of the house so I don't isolate so much, so that my depression has less of a foothold in my brain.  I don't know.  Maybe i should just give up and figure out how to spend time with the friends I have who are not so near me.  :sigh:
