I promised you a “most embarrassing date” story. The truth is, there are probably too many to choose from. I have always been the person without a filter, and that has led to far too many “life experiences.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But dating is a whole ‘nother world. I’ll just share one for now.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So. On this one date, I went with a guy to shop for a car. He was graduating from college and wanted a “cool” car to drive to Washington, D.C., where he was going to start is “cool” life. Naturally, he chose the Saab dealership. (??) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Saabs were being sold in our countrified college town, so we had to drive to the Big City, about two hours south.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why he thought *I* would be a good sidekick during a business negotiation, I have no idea.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s just say: I am not a good sidekick in a business negotiation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deal was made, all but signed on the dotted line. He nearly had the Swedish keys in his hot little hand. And then… I said something stupid. Which killed the deal. And it fell apart. Yep. He bought no Saab that day.
And then, on the way home–not in a brand new used Saab but in his old Ford Probe–I yelled for him stop the car! So I could run into an alfalfa field and throw up.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That part of the date might have had something to do with the fact he bought me lunch using trading stamps from the Flying J Truck Stop. But I do take responsibility for the overall badness of that date.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: He didn’t take me when he actually *did* buy a car. Nor did he take me to D.C. with him. As is for the best. <\/p>\n\n
