Good morning TGIF!!! Wuz up QC.

Yes - my best friend (Male), who at the time was an interest of mine, once brought me a bouquet of flowers -“just because”. My response was “What did you bring those for? We’re not in love or anything.” The crestfallen look on his face gave away his true feelings. Not a good scene - awkward moment for both of us. There was no coming back from that statement - our interactions became painful at times - until we had a heart to heart and laid everything on the line. Our friendship survived (Thank goodness - don’t know what I would do without his great advice) and we can look back and laugh at that incident now.

Good Morning!!! and one big time TGIF vacation is soon but this week has dragged by.
Most awkward moment, jeesh where do we begin, the one where the guy wanted to take me to a nice restaurant since I am a picky eater, Zaxby’s it was. Classic.

umm the end of the date when you are not feeling that person and you can’t get away quick enough always an awkward moment.

when you meet someone and you are a bit tipsy, talk later on the phone and arrange a real meeting and realize, beer goggles!!

ok y’all have a good one, I’ll be back after the boss leaves, YEA

Way back when, I met a guy on AOL. We talked over email and on the phone for awhile and finally decided to meet. He was a huge Nebraska fan and had sent me a pic, it was a little far away, but he looked hot. We met at Wild Wings in Marietta. I don’t normally look at looks, and he wasn’t ugly, but when he talked, he talked out of the side of his mouth. It was not going well, and I was young, so I tried to go to the bathroom and sneak out, but there was no way out. I came back to the table with some lame excuse. He walked me to my car and said, can I at least get a kiss? I said no, and he tried anyway. Talk about awkward!

You’re going to love this one……about 5 years ago….I was on a 2nd date…he had picked me up at the house…we had a lovely dinner…..got back to my place and a friend dropped by unexpectedly…… I ended up making coffee for all three of us…. when my friend left I said goodnight to the date….. the next morning..I found a strange blue pill on my sofa table…. concerned it may have been some kind of medicine for the guy (he was a bit older)…I called my friend who is a doctor….. she laughed like crazy! It turned out to be viagra!!!! I was mortified!!! We’re talking a ‘2nd date’ here! Holy Cow! Needless to say, he apologized when confronted…and we never spoke again. GOOBER!

Hey Jazzy, morning boo. Sup Miss QC.

I think I’ll just lurk today. I’ve buried all of my embarrassing moments, up till January, in locked safe tucked nice and far away, not trying to relive them….lol.

I will say this Laney, I feel bad for your Cadbury guy. And divine I know you crushed ol boy with the flowers that day. Dang, “when a sweet gesture goes bad”….lmao.

@D1Morning…..As many times as women criticize men for not being spontaneous and thoughtful, you crushed that man between a sledge-hammer and a brick. Wow! That man will probably never do that for a woman again.

I surprised a former gf with flowers a couple of times. The first time I did it, I left some “mushy message” on the card, but didn’t leave my name. I had to call to see if she received them, bc she didn’t call to thank me for them. Come to find out, she didn’t know whether I or an ex had sent them, so she waited to get a clue. Let’s just say we both found out what was really going on that day.

Good Morning Miss QC, ready for the weekend?

March 24, 2006 09:19 AM | Link to this

One of many I might share today….

About five years ago, I wanted to treat a platonic friend back home (Alabama) for her 21st birthday. It was early summer, and being from a small town the only real options for an OK night out were at least an hour’s drive away. I pulled out of the drive and asked “North or South?” in regard to whether I should drive to Montgomery or Pensacola, Fla. I said Montgomery and she seconded. We get there, waltz around in a mall, eat dinner and choose “The Fast and The Furious” for a nightcap. We get our seats and I recognize a face in the distance. It’s my girlfriend at the time, walking in arm-and-arm with some football player that had been after her for a long time, AND, SHE SAID she was avoiding!!! To boot, they sit down in the two seats next to us! Never felt more awkward in my life! She and I traded neither a word nor a look, and needless to say I don’t really remember how the movie went either. I was just in a daze. A moment I will remember forever.

Good Morning!

A Guy I was dating when I lived in NY always laughed at me because I loved to eat breakfast food 24/7. My mom would make pancakes for me every Sunday so after she moved to ATL it was over. Dude felt bad for me and said he found a diner that had the best breakfast, so after a night out at the club we go to the spot he orders the special my favorite cheese eggs, bacon pancakes. 15 minutes later the waiter comes over with this hella platter with pancakes the size of hub caps about 2inches thick 20pcs of bacon, 1 dozen scrambled eggs with cheese. I was like what the #@@@$$%%, dude was laughing hysterically and I was so nauseated and p** off. He thought he was doing something special I thought he was an a* and have since given up my love for pancakes.

Hey Ms QC & Divine1

Tray I had a simular experience but I was sober. Who knew that military uniforms and poorly lit rooms had the same effect as beer goggles. Met this guy at drill one weekend who was appeared to be tall, dark and handsome. He had on his BDU cap and it was pulled low - to his nose low - he was in the Marines and they all had their hats pulled low. Anyway, in the poorly lit room with his hat pulled low he “appeared” to be handsome. So, fast forward to 3 days later and he came by my well lit job with a baseball cap on. A Chicago Bulls cap. The only thing I kept thinking was he looks just like the bull on his cap. Never returned his phone calls and from that day on I developed my “let me see you without your cap on” rule.

@ATLPearlGrl - LOL - He just knew he was going to give you an experience you would never forget. Talk about divine intervention - that friend was sent to rescue you from Superfreak. LOL.

@G & runnin - I didn’t mean to do it. I had no clue there were deeper feelings involved. He’s still my bud though - and he will always have a place in my heart - no matter what or who comes into my life. ;)

Good morinig all. I had just started dating a guy that lived out of town. We weren’t exclusive or anything, just hanging out every now and then, but he decided to come into town to “surprise” me. showed up at my house (rule # one - don’t come by without calling first) with a bottle of wine, some chinese food and his gymbag. Ole boy just knew he was staying over. Imagine his surprise when my other “friend” pulled up right behind him to pick me up for our date

March 24, 2006 09:36 AM | Link to this

Good Morning All!!!

I was starting to think I didn’t have any awkward moments but here goes. I went on a double date once with my friend and her friend. They decided that I needed to meet his friend. These guys were much younger than us and I still don’t know why I agreed to go on this date, but we had a pretty nice time until the end of the night when my friend and her friend wanted to go sit at the waterfront. It’s a lovely place to go if you are feeling the person you are with. I had no real problems with my date up to that point except the occasional bad joke and the strange stares that he’d give me, but once we got to the riverfront he insisted on trying to hold me, kiss me and do all those romantic gestures that I wasn’t feeling. I guess that wouldn’t have been so bad if he would have stopped after I told him no the first time, but it got to the point where I was very, very uncomfortable and was actually considering spending the night in jail. I have another one but I will share that later.

Classic online experience Some time ago, I set up a date with a girl I met online. She looked great in the pic, the convo was good, so I was really excited to see her. I should’ve paid closer attention to pic details, b/c that hairstyle was left about 2 yrs prior, along with the sweater she was wearing. Well…..let’s just say when I finally met her in person……..that beautiful smile was the only thing that resembled the pic. Let’s just say she has a healthy diet…..and it showed. I played it like a champ, and put on my best poker face.

Just like women file some short men in the buddy category, I put her in that same file. We went out a couple of times after that, but things faded out eventually.

He got over it and moved on to the next young lady. Not sure, if she got any flowers but I know she got the ring (I helped pick it out).

Good Morning ALL,

Yes, I have embarrassed myself more than once, when I sent flowers to a woman, and the note was unsigned, but had a comment that I thought she would connect to me, from a previous direct conversation with her. And obviously the comment was so ingrained in her mind, she had no idea who sent the flowers. Like I said, more than once, but not something I would do now, at least I would directly sign it. chuckle. live and learn

to switch, and I have mentioned this once before, a cinema date turned to me immediately after the scene in the Stephen King movie Pet Cemetary where the four-year-old kid bites the Achilles heel out of the old man, with a delightful “Isn’t that neat?”. (No, that is effin gross)

I also, on a fourth date, asked a woman for a kiss goodnight, she leaned over and gave me the coldest peck on the side of my check I have ever had. Don’t do that anymore either, ask at least. to use a motto, if you have to ask her for it, it is not worth having.

@G: I can do you one better.

I met a girl online about four years ago who said she was a graduate student at Georgia State. Little did she know I was a graduate student there too and had some file access. I look her up — no record, of course. I was new here and living with extended family, so I invited her over one night while my folks were out. We’re chatting and school pops up. I ask about class and she gave me a spill, and then I ask about having lunch on campus one day…quiet. I ask again…quieter. So what does she do? She starts to flip out, asking why it’s so important that women go to school and who said you have to have a degree to be smart and trying to rectify all these lies she told in the beginning. Turns out she was a liberal arts student at Georgia Perimeter, which is fine, but why did she feel the need to lie?

March 24, 2006 09:58 AM | Link to this

I am a cornball and I don’t mind being that way so I have a lot of funny, but not neccesarily awkward moments. And just like Mama D, I sometimes say things without thinking that just make things so interesting. That flower story was funny…. sounds just like something I would say.

I’m clumsy so I’ve been known to fall up or down on dates, but usually by that time they have a good feel for my personality and can laugh with me because I will sit there and crack up over it.

Good Morning All…

A few years ago, met this guy at club. Of course, I had the beer goggles on, but for the most part he seemed Ok. We talked on the phone, convo was good so we decided to meet for dinner.

Oh boy, he had on shades. Then he took them off, he was so… cross eyed. One eye was on me and other one was doing it’s own thing. I mean which one do you focus on???

Then we ordered our food, ate and were walking outside, he farted. Smelled so bad, I did not want to breathe. Then wanted a kiss. H— Naw!!!

I went on a double date, years ago, to a movie. My “date” drove. We opened the doors to get in his car and he had replaced the inside overhead light with a red bulb. It was weird and gave me the creeps. I rushed to the ticket counter so I could buy my own ticket and sat next to my friend instead of him. He was a little irritated. Something about that red light just creeped me out.

Good Morn Everyone

One time me and this guy go to the fair for a date it was pretty far out (an hour away). Anyway I go on some rides and didnt eat to well ..I think I got a funnel cake that was made with bad oil. On the ride back I started to feel a bit queasy and no place to stop all I saw was dirt roads and trees. And I had to throw up BAD so I end up throwing up in his car in something ..good thing I didnt mess up anything ….but I had to throw up again and I tried to wait until we could get to a good location and I was basically throwing up while opening the door at a gas station … the car was all swerving and braking you would think we was doing a drive by or something. It was pretty horrible. We are still friends though ….

One bittersweet moment that I recall was when Nature Guy made a really nice dinner for my birthday (he was an excellent cook), and about 30 minutes or so after dinner I began to feel lightheaded and faint and my face started to feel tight. When it wouldn’t go away I asked him how he prepared the food ,which was a stirfry, he used peanut oil. I am highly allergic to peanuts. Needless to say I spent the night in the ER. But I still gave him an “A” for the gesture.

Thank God my boss is in a meeting, Im laughing my fanny off !!

My friend hooked me up with this guy and we started talking and he semeed pretty cool so when he suggested we go out for dinner, I had no qualms about it.

So I told himto suggest a place and he told me of this great Italian restaurant ( but the name was French ) it seemed odd that an italian joint would have a french name - FLAG # 1

The dinner and convo was good, dude ordered a rack of lamb and he NEVER touched it, I guess he was trying to be all proper and not make a mess of himself eating it - oh well…this hefer here ate every morsel on her plate !

After dinner he asuggested we go watch a movie and I was all for it, that is until he sat next to me and started talking close to me.

DUDE HAS SOME SERIOUS HALIOTOSIS !!!! and to make matters worse he kept making small talk all the time and boy did he not have hot breath coming out of his mouth - might I add he also tried to kiss me ( this begs for a listerine moment when I think of it ) !! FLAG # 2

After the movie he wanted to hang out more but my lungs were screaming for fresh air/breath so I politely declined his offer, thanked him for dinner - gave him the dont-get—too-touchy feely - hug and jetted outta there !!

Needless to say, theer was no second date and I changed his name on my phone to MR HOT BREATH ( I know Im going to hell for this one )

PS By the way, my galfriend who hooked me up with dude is a DENTAL HYGENIST !! Ohhh the irony !!

Hey Ms QC

I went on a date with my ex-boyfriend from high school and he showed up with his daughter. I felt that was a bit inappropriate especially since he is the one that asked me out, he didn’t tell me she was coming and we went to a movie that was not age appropriate. He is also the same ex that would bring his children over to my house so I could feed them. I had to nip that in the bud. I don’t mind helping out, but he was not needy and his children had mothers, plus he was getting out of hand with that just dropping by so my kids can eat stuff.

About this time last year I invited a young lady I hadn’t seen in a while to a Wynton Marsalis concert at the Alliance Theatre. She told me she might run late but she could make it. Couldn’t complain with that. I went out earlier in the evening with friends but jetted back home to meet her. Mind you I’d told her the event was not casual, she ignored that. She shows up in a halter with jeans that have some kind of cord going down the side of them! I rush her into the car but the hood in me came out and I made a U-turn and took her back to her car! Saw her once since; she apologized for being underdressed.

Jazzyone I went to Waffle House for the first time last week. The funniest night ever. There was a pack of jelly on the floor and a troop of ants about a foot away. I felt like I had never seen so many ants in one place in my life. I look along the wall and there are more ants, it kinda looked like they were staging an attack on the ants that were currently getting their grub on. So I tell my date and his friend about the ants so then this lady comes walking by, you know the Waffle House is small so she would have walked on the ants if we didn’t say anything to her. Ok so once she see the ants she (obviously drunk) let’s out a loud ewwww and procedes to do what we now call the jelly dance. Now the jelly dance started off looking like the tush push but then it ended up looking like Lord of the dance. She then asked for some music so she could continue the dance….. all this started because of some ants. The funniest thing I’ve seen.

Drove up, nice house… get out and go in, he lives in the Unfinished basement of his parents home. Light bulbs with strings hanging down, plastic hanging separating rooms, space heaters and fans. I told him I was not feeling well and left skid marks in the driveway.

Met this guy at a book store. We made plans to go out to dinner the next night. I mentioned to him what some of my favorite places are, besides the place I worked, popeyes, sushi, japanese, stuff like that. Ya’ll he picked me up and took me to…… GOLDEN CORRAL!! Oh, hell no. I wouldn’t get out of the car and I made him take me home. He called the next day to apologize but after that I was too thru wit him.

If she doesn’t have toilet paper?? you won’t be needing that Gym bag. Or would you??

To the princes and princesses among us: stop hatin’ on Waffle House, Hustle and Flow and platinum grills. The South has character and I love it! Believe me, if you wore your tiaras and flowing robes in public, people would laugh at you just like they laugh at Mr. I Got My Name Spelled On My Fronts.

@runnin: The movie on black men dating white women was so-so. Did anyone else see it? I was actually disappointed that I missed so much good basketball last night.

Any awkward interracial dating moments?

Hey Ms.QC it only gets better/worse? Last summer during a brief period of “I think I need to see other people” A guy I met through a friend knew that I was a big Bobby Brown & New Edition fan so he takes me to the concert at Chaistain . Since hepurchased the tkts I packed the food we had a great time, after the show I went to his house to get my car and so that we could drink a glass a wine and finish the food that I had packed. His house was lovely, i noticed that he had a lot of magazines like Essence, Sister 2 Sister just all the ethnic magazines, I knew he was single , never married, no live ins so some kid had to have sold him some magazines that he was really interested in, so when it was time to leave I asked if I could take home some back issue of Essence. When he turned to me and said he had not read it yet I couldn’t get my picnic basket a car keys fast enough. It was weird.

At Divine1 - this cat did not need a mint….he needed a MINT INFESTED DIVINE INTERVENTION !( no pun intended ) ( Gurgling more listerine at the thought of him trying to reach over and smooch me )

Im yet to go on another date since then - where are the decent men ????

March 24, 2006 11:08 AM | Link to this

@mista Oh no doubt. The clothes are for work and the gym bag so I can play ball anywhere, so all of the above are in the bag.

@Jazzy & divine1 You best believe it, can’t get caught slippin. Even with the toilet paper. :-)

Yeah, just check the health inspection score at the next Waffle House you visit, if you’re sober enough… bet it’s pretty low. Those joints are just unclean. Compliment the waitress: ‘Nice tooth’.

Actually though, I’ve heard that Waffle House has the highest employee satisfaction rate, that’s hard to figure out!

I went to a military college, and one day during summer term, one of the cadets i’d been eyeing came up after class and asked me out to lunch. Completely stoked i said yes. He took me to the Chow Hall or school cafe, ok..not classy but hey we were young so it was fine. Lunch went ok, and the conversation kept vering off onto topics like “had i ever seen a midget mud wrestle”…i’d pretty much decided to make a run for it, when he leaned over and asked me if my “engine was purring”…ok that was it…i just got up and walked out. He dropped the class we shared the very next day…kinda funny now that i think about it

@mista Dawg, I tried to get down there because I was supposed to meet my people at Fox Sports Grill to watch the game after but traffic was hell-acious!!! I will still support ol boy and check the movie out though.

Speaking of Southern character, did you ever see that VH-1 special on low budget video girls? It was hilarious. They were in some small town in NC and “dancers” were making this video for a rap groups to be on BET Uncut, for free!! There is some flava in the sticks though….lmao.

mista I have an awkward interracial dating moment. I took whitebread to my parents house for dinner and my dad had thrown down in the kitchen. Whitebread is from up north. So I had some collard greens with all the ham hock and other artery clogging ingredients on my plate and I put some on his. He leaned over and asked me what is this. Now daddy Jorge didn’t like him so for him to insult his food was just a no no. I asked him softly to please just eat. Come to find out he ended up liking it and asked me to cook greens for him several times after that.

TGIF People.

I don’t have anything to add to this topic, so I’m just cracking up at all the stories.

Jazzy - The 6 kids and the py poppin, drug stompin, nekkid booty shake music is hilarious!

mista - Did you and your GF break up after the movie run in?

About March Madness, you couldn’t have asked for any better games! LSU’s freshman Tyrus Thomas did his thang against Duke, sending them back to Durham! Ha!

@Jazzy: What’s the problem dear? Did I miss something you said that would tie you to this? My address was to all the princes and princesses among us and piggy-backed off the Waffle House ant-dance story. I’ve seen ants on the floor at places that get much better health department ratings than “Awful House” ever would.

oh I have so many of these!

The most mortifying incident happened when my cute neighbor/guy of interest was helping me move, actually he helped my roomates too. He somehow got ahem aroused and it was quite evident by the tent in his pants. How in the blue hell did he get turned on by moving boxes? I will never know but my girls were like, umm what is up with this dude? We could NOT stop laughing at him. He actually had to leave and go home (I guess he wanted to get rid of it). We had dinner that night and I couldn’t even look at him in the eyes! I was afraid I was gonna crack up laughing all over again.

A mess. sigh

Ok I have one.

I dated my high school sweetheart for 4 years. Our senior year he was one of the top 5 basketball players in the state so he was invited to play in the All-star game. He stated that he wanted me there but I did not know if I could pull it off since I did own a vehicle. I managed to work my magic and decided to surprise him with my presence at the last minute. I cheered my azz off. I was all proud and pumped. They won the game and I waited on the court patiently so I could greet him after the game. All of the other players meet up with there folks and quickly filed out of the gym. My dumb azz continues to wait. I noticed that there were 2 other girls waiting for their party so I figured some of them were still talking to the media. Lights were being shut off and everything. My sister was getting antsy so we left. On the highway I see an exit approaching with a Sizzler. Un huh, he must be over there. She stopped, I went in only to find my boyfriend of 4 years all gog-goo eyed sitting at the table with this yella heifer that was in the gym waiting late with me. I even sat down and started a conversation. It was obvious then so I stormed out. He followed. We had a loud argument and I ended up slapping the shizzle out of him.
