Most guys get drunk and hit on women.

I'm too considerate, AND inept, AND terrified.

So I get drunk and invite people to Readercon.

Well, I did invite my now-partner to Vericon (only con I've ever been to). It didn't exactly work as a date because (a) I had a busy volunteer schedule (b) I also invited his ex along. But it did help to move us along the path from "good friends" to "dating".

Good for you anyway (and I have no Readercon to invite people to, but know what you mean about the terror).

Nothin' wrong with that. Although if my own experiences are anything to go by, the people you invite to Readercon probably have no. clue. whatsoever. that you Fancy Them. It just doesn't occur to most people that the other person fancies them. If my own experiences are anything to go on.

What I'm saying here is that if you wanted to turn around the next day and also invite the person to go on a date with you, that wouldn't be out of line.

Seconded!

I really think that's an improvement. You can always ask them out on dates the next day while you're sober.
