Is this guy desperate or just stupid?

Alright, here's the background story. This girl I know was really drunk one night (I think it was her birthday) at Wonderbar (or some other bar) and jokingly suggested to her guy friend that they make out, but it didn't happen. The next day, she didn't think anything of it since it was just drunken stupidness and she wasn't serious about it. Well apparently, the guy friend read a little more into it than he should've and proceeded to try and woo this girl every time they hung out from then on even though she is not interested in him and told him that she only suggested the make out session because she was completely hammered.

From then on, reports indicate that this guy friend would send the girl text messages while they were both at the bar saying something like "let's meet in the bathroom at 12:45" and so on and so forth. Girl refused. Guy friend kept offering to pick girl up whenever their group of friends was going out, as well as offer a ride home from the bar. The girl repeatedly refused but tried to laugh it off so that it wouldn't affect the friendship. Guy clearly didn't get the message. During one drunk night, guy friend decided to call the girl as he was driving home from the bar. She was already in bed trying to sleep. She made the mistake of picking up the phone. Once she picked up the phone, guy friend asked her out on a date. Girl said no multiple times, but guy friend kept nagging her, so girl agreed to go on the date with the clear warning that "this is not going to go anywhere".

Well when it came time for their "date", the girl dressed really casually and the guy got all dressed up and clean and shit. Apparently they went to dinner somewhere but I can't remember where. According to the girl, the date was really awkward because the guy was taking it seriously, whereas she went just to appease the guy. Reports indicate that the girl asked the guy what he was doing after dinner (since she assumed it was just a dinner date and nothing more) and he pulled the "we're going salsa dancing!" move on her, to which she absolutely rejected. It has also been discovered that he pulled the "let's go for a walk" move.

Let's be clear here. These two moves (salsa dancing, go for a walk) are spontaneous suggestions that sometimes can work if THE GIRL ACTUALLY IS INTERESTED IN YOU. When she isn't, they fail miserably. Lucky for my readers, we have the most recent online conversation between girl and guy. Please enjoy.
