Getting Too Old For Awkward

This is an actual experience I had today.
While I was on facebook this boy from my singles ward starting chatting with me, which was a little weird because I really don't know him that well at all. For the purposes of this story let's call him Steve.
The conversation:
Steve: Hi
Me: Hey
Steve: How are you doing?
Me: Good and you?
Steve: Good, do you know who this is?
Me: Yes we are in the ward together.
Steve: Yeah but do you know my name?
Me (starting to get really weirded out...): Yes
Steve: Then what is it?
Me: Yeah its Steve.
Steve: Do you know that I know your name?
*Remember we are on facebook...
Me: Yeah I am Kayla and we are in the same ward.
Steve: So do you have a cell phone and if so can I have your number so I can text you today?
Me: Yeah I do but if you want to say something to me you can probably just tell me now on facebook.
Steve: Okay, but if you have a cell phone can't you just give me your number?
Me...End conversation, log off facebook, close the internet browser...

Did that just really happen? Oh yes it did. 
Perhaps it was rude to just leave him hanging, but I am getting too old for awkward.

Good for you Kayla, "Steve" definitely does not sound anywhere cool enough for you!

Weirdness. He sounds like he has good stalker potential. He didn't ask for a picture of you did he?

Oh man, that is awkward. He deserves to be left hanging for being so weird. Hopefully it isn't super awkward at church now.

Ha Ha! I like your story

Ha ha, yeah he is already a kind of awkward boy, and I have a friend that was creeped out by him before. Also, it was awkward at church because he made it a point to make sure I knew it was him who I had talked to on facebook. I think he struggles socially.
