I can't agree more. It's such a relief to come home from college classes with very annoying people to polite comments and helpful strangers! Sorry your date was cut short but perhaps it was for the best? Wishing you the best of luck next time!
I had a particularly bad trip to Sephora where I was tossed between employees and given the "ugh" look when I asked if I could try out a blush. I left thinking I would never go back before asking all the wonderful MUT ladies for advice first!
Thank you for your good thoughts! I had someone act like that to me once in the NYC lower Manhattan Sephora, I light heartedly and politely asked for her name and then her manager's name... her attitude shifted like a race-car into customer service high gear within 2 second - it was priceless...

Those chocolates are so delicious, the hubby gave me a box when we were dating and they didn't last too long. Good luck on future dates!
Thanks JC! The cordials are highly addictive! I really wanted to send some to AFG too, but the alcohol content made it unsuitable for sending to the troops. Are you still in Germany? I think the Anthon Bergs are made in Germany!

[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Sorry about the dating situation. My best friend and my mom are both doing the online dating thing, and they just can't seem to find a guy who isn't either super forward and pervy, or flakey, or they have serious baggage (i.e. wives that haven't been divorced yet, mental instability....). It sucks the most for my mom. She's 55 years old, been married and raised her kid, and now she just wants someone she can go see movies and sing Karaoke with, a companion. She's doesn't want to be married again, she's content in her life and her home with her animals (2 dogs, sometimes 4 when she babysits the neighbor dogs, and 3 cats), and she doesn't want to change any of that. She just wants a companion to do things with, and if it evolves into something else then that's great. I feel bad for her all the time though, because she'll start talking to a guy, and he'll seem really nice and she'll think she might actually like him, and then he'll start getting sexually inappropriate (which is her biggest turnoff), or they are super flakey and won't keep in touch consistently, or whatever the case may be. It bums me out because she then thinks its because they don't like her, and she can't figure out what she did wrong, and gets a little down on herself. I just have to keep telling her that there are A LOT of creepers on the net, but there are also a lot of good guys out there, they are just much harder to find than the creepers
because they put themselves out there very aggressively.
Such a good point! The low barrier of entry in online dating and the anonymity factor just brings out the wors and most desperate traits. I'm getting better at extracting myself when the conversation turns pervy.
I used to get offended then introspective, but now I just blurt a hearty laughter and change the subject or just shut down the conversation.

I love everything about this post.
Especially the part about chocolate liquor.
..and I'm totally ordering that. now.
ETA: I don't love the part about the guy.. But how you handled the situation? Well done. Noodles fix a LOT
Thanks Tiffany! It's amazing how centering a bowl of hot steamy noodles can be, it's not going to try and tell you about it's sexual alter- ego or tell you that its an ice cream cone on sabatical.
I am still in Germany, Anton Bergs are sold every where over here specially for Christmas but I think they are a Danish company. Its definitely not a good idea to send them to hot places, we have tried sending them over the summer and the liquor doesn't survive the trip.
