Awkward!

I was feeling restless today on my day off and didn't feel like hopping in the car to go anywhere and I had no errands to run so I decided to walk down to Starbucks and grab a cup of coffee and listen to some music. After getting my coffee I go to the condiment bar and begin the precise chemical formulation to make my coffee the way I like it. In the process a thirty something, not unattractive but somewhat socially awkward guy comes up to me
Him: Hey there
Me: uh, hi
Him: How are you
Me: fine (and still concentrating on getting the correct ratio of cream to sugar to coffee)
Him: So, what are you up to
Me: uh, getting coffee (as if it weren't obvious)

At this point I should mention that if you don't know me you probably don't realize that I am not exactly the friendliest person you will meet and I don't do well when strangers talk to me. I can only imagine the look on my face as I replied to this guy who was severely interrupting my "me" time.

Him: So. . .
Me: (nothing, just fixing my coffee up)
Him: I'm guessing you aren't Steve then?
Me: no, sorry

At that point my coffee is the perfect light tan color and the sugar content is just right so I leave in a rush thinking to myself "awkward,".
I really hope Steve is a lot nicer of a person than I am otherwise that poor guy is going to have some confidence issues. . .
