First "Yikes" moment on SA
I remember on HX and TER before that, only one or two moments when, after they opened the door, I shouted "Yikes" in my head! "How do I get out of this?
Well, unlike HG's recent adventure, I had my 1st "Yikes" moment on SA. Was digging through numbers I had saved on my invaluable spreadsheet and found one I never met in an area where I was headed. Texted her, arranged the meet and when she walked up "Yikes!" I am too nice to just stop right there and and say "Ya know, this ain't workin' for me. " So I went to lunch with her. Giant, painted lips, a real artsy fartsy, "designing my own line of handbags" type. I kept being nice but couldn't wait to finish and get out of there. She asked me towards the end "Would you like to see me again?" Again, the nice guy, I said that my schedule was hectic the next 3 weeks and would have to see type of things instead of saying what I wanted to which was " HEEELLLLL NO!
Lunch ended, we walked back to our cars, her even saying as we walked that it was too bad we couldn't spend more time today. We got to our cars and I didn't even hug her good bye. Got in my car and bolted. Oh, and to add a lingering memory of my misadventure? We had Indian food (NOT on my list at all!) and, despite repeated washing, like the memory of her, I couldn't get the smell off my hands!
Thank god I'm seeing one of my housewives tomorrow after a too-long break. Hope the smell of curry has dissipated.
