Deneb, you just did something really brave and courageous! It's OK if you flubbed the order and misread and lost your bearings. That is really normal stuff. It's possible he felt he was doing all those things, too.
Sometimes when I'm nervous I forget how to do "basic" things too. Like read. Or talk. In college especially I would really get nervous.
I know what it feels like to stumble over simple syllables, or to watch in horror as I do the one exact thing I kept thinking and thinking and thinking that I should *not* do. I've put salt in my coffee. I've spilled things, badly. I once laughed and a snot flew out of my nose onto a guy's sweater. And he totally noticed it. It was truly horrible. (Not my best shining moment, although the shot itself glistened in the lights.)
If you don't want to have coffee with more people, then don't! Tell them school is too busy now. If you DO, pick someone who looks non-threatening. Are there any ladies/girls in the mix? Maybe you'd feel more comfy chatting with another girl?
You are brave, Deneb! I admire your courage.
