What Use is Nev Nav When...
So they all went out on Saturday night, all high spirited, and met up in some little pub where they all had a few drinks. Even Sideshow, Nev’s last housemate had joined them, as he happened to be in the area at the time. They were all getting chatty and learning cheeky funny dance moves, and everything was going swimmingly until this little something happened... It was early in the night, nobody was drunk yet, there were just crowds of people swarming in, getting warmed up for the evening. Nev was listening in to the current group conversation (which was about posing on Myspace), when he felt something touch his side and another thing on his hair. His instincts naturally forced him to spin quickly whilst composing the furthest swinging arm into the punching pose, with a clenched fist, but he recoiled as soon as he got a peripheral glimpse of his attacker. He thought he'd got away with it because there was not much of a negative or defensive reaction. It turned out that his attacker was a stunning dark haired lady that seemed to like his hair. She took a half step back on his spin, apologized and said 'I love your hair. I wish mine was like that... can we swap?'.... Nev's reply was James Bond smooth... it went along the lines of 'ummm... well... I... It's only hair??'... He was at panic stations... He had no reply for her. He felt like he had no excuse for that behavior. I'll apologize on his behalf now, as this is not how a bloke should act in public. Her invisible mate had called her though so she had to go anyway.
To sum this up, Nev Nav had once again failed. And what’s worse... the same thing happened with a different girl later on in Enigma. Only half learning from his previous mistake he didn't reply at all this time. He just smiled and twiddled with her hair (which he decided (later on) must have been as good as saying 'see how you like it when random's play with your hair). His night was over. It had finished being fun. He continued to dance until his mates were all ready to go home. And when he got home, he pondered the night’s events. He took a step back and realized what had just happened.
2 girls were interested in him. They would have come up on Nev Nav if it existed. They were brave, and they stepped into his comfort zone to make a first move. They may not have cared about the hair; they just found it an easy subject himself like the daisy. And he had failed, which to them must have looked like rejection. Nev's such a ball bag, but the lesson was learned. The night was ruined because he suddenly felt restricted, in that if he were to be approached, his brain would crash and he couldn't reply. Never again!!
