Dating: I’m so embarrassed!
If someone could find a way to purchase a dating do over, I know a lot of people who would want it. We try to bring our A game, especially on first dates. Sometimes anxiety kicks in and we leave a less then stellar impression.
One of our readers went out with a guy from church this weekend. While they were waiting for valet, her ex-boyfriend approached her and basically embarrassed her. He made a comment about her temper and alluded to her history of property destruction.
In her defense *ahem*, this was a guy she dated in college. She told her date she is not the same girl and tried to downplay it, but she was pretty embarrassed. Should she try to explain the full story to her date or drop it and let it go? Maybe he can see for himself that she is a mature woman now?
Have you ever been embarrassed on a date? How did you handle it?
What would you do if you ran into one of your exes while you were out with someone else? Speaking of, Atlanta is WAY too small sometimes, no?

Exactly, Single. Last thing you need is to hear about someone’s past from a jilted, biitter ex still basking in the past.

Slim’s Co-Worker-He is experiencing some type of ED, or low Testoterone situation that effects his libido, is addicted to porn and squeezing off so he doesn’t have anything left, or he has “special interest”.

DM~ You should do the tri-athalon for Team in Training. Great cause and a great exprerience.
Comon I might try that out. I’m also looking into doing the Tough Mudder in 2014. I don’t think I’ll be ready for the one in April.
Mrs. Sexy Cool Small world. I did the Firefly Run a few weeks back too. So, far my long run is at 8.5 miles on Saturdays. About time to bump it up to 10. Good luck on the relay Sunday.

swiss – now you know some folks are wide open with all their business. nothing’s off limits. what gets me is when they have the nerve to be upset about their business being in the street when they are the ones that put it there.

Very small world indeed.
I did not appreciate how they had us walk down the hill to the start line and have us start uphill. Craziness…
They should have had the registration lines closer to Park Tavern. #IshThatMakesSense

My longest run before my half was 8 miles. My (obviously flawed) logic was that if I had no problem running 8 miles of Atlanta hills then I would have no problem running thirteen flat miles in the Big Easy.
Big mistake. IF (big if)…if I do another half, this time, I will train past 13 miles to make the full distance a bit more manageable.

Yeah, part of getting info from someone is knowing who you are getting the info from…relationship, ulterior motive, emotional tie, etc…

Trump supposedly is going to release copies of the Obama’s divorce papers from nearly 12 years ago.
WTF? From the dude who is always getting married and divorced.

CC – Do you keep ice packs at the office? I know I would not want to be on the spectrum of Not getting any but I can’t say I’d want to do it every single day. Ya gotta let that thang marinate and air out sometimes. Don’t want to walk around smelling like d!ck everyday

Women I have dated have “tried” to embarrass me for being a virgin, but I don’t care, I kind of have a chip on my shoulder for being so anyway (I think that’s why some people don’t like me).
Rich – So who is telling “people” this about you? Man, I think folks have better things to do with their time than worry about your virginity!! And maybe the women cheated cause they weren’t getting any. Just sayin’
Wack!!!!

Mrs. SC – That is a great article. I especially agree with #10…my ex never could understand why I would not want the door open to the bathroom while doing #2! I don’t want to see him and I don’t want him to see me doing that!!!

Slim~
I actually enjoy doing it everyday. Just not 3 or 4 times a day. And, trust, I don’t walk around smelling like d!ck everyday. I have had to invest in some very good skin moisturizures thought.

I’ve only tried the Cranberry Pomegranate once and I was not too big of a fan of that. One thing I have not had in lawd knows how long is Apple Juice.
