After careful consideration I'd have to agree to ayrt. The guy who chatted up Abed didn't start by hitting on him really, he started by talking to Abed about Farscape. The show implies that it was selfish of Abed to keep talking about Farscape with this guy who really just wants to have sex with him, because Abed really doesn't want to and is thus 'leading him on' in favor of allowing the man to move on to a different person to pick up.

But if you stop to think about it, is that really selfish? He didn't start talking to Abed by telling Abed he was cute or something, he chatted up Abed about one of Abed's favorite tv shows and bought him a drink. And Abed makes it apparent later that it wasn't even obvious to him at first that the guy was hitting on him. By the time Abed had figured it out, he was just having such a nice time talking about Farscape that he didn't want to end it by being blunt and saying 'this has been really enjoyable but I'm not going home with you at the end of the night.'

The fact is, Abed realized that expressing disinterest would definitely end an awesome conversation, and Abed doesn't have that many people in his life that could have that type of conversation with him.

Hmmm. Majority of the conversation happened offscreen and for some reason I got the impression the guy had ramped up considerably to the point where we see him express extreme disbelief Abed didn't pick up on it, which he we find out he did. Which isn't the same thing as the guy as the guy just coming out and admitting he was only interested in picking Abed up... idk what my point is exactly.

It's not this particular conversation I'm twigging on, just that it does set a little precedence for Abed recognizing when someone is attracted to him and using it to get something he wanted.

Wait nm, I'm interrogating the text from the wrong perspective. He didn't use the realization so much as ignore it because it was inconveinent. My bad!

[biohazardgirl]

No perspective is the wrong perspective! It's just interpreting a text :D We're not really inside Abed's head, in my opinion he ignored it, but maybe from someone else's perspective he figured out earlier and had more of a manipulative stance.
