My dear friends,
As I always say, reality is stranger than fiction. The great pains I have taken to anonymize this blog are, in fact, tenuous at best. I will refresh your memories as to a certain date- let's call him Robert- which went well. This blog was not the kindest to our first date (it lumped two dates in one and labeled them un-interesting) - but for some reason I did want to see him again (I came around to this after some charm and persistence, which I think goes a long way on gchat.)
And then, on the fateful day of his dinner party that I was to attend, the worst of all events transpired. By some cruel twist of fate, he discovered my heartless entry. What to do! Proceed with matters as usual? Ignore it? Act as if it wasn't true? After a long session with my DCT (Damage Control Team)* things were no better. Even they couldn't dig me out of this blog hole.
And then- amazingly- it seemed as if he didn't care. He did not dis-invite me to dinner, and seemed amused by the whole thing. In a turnaround moment that only a sports movie could deliver, he was now racking up mad points. Someone who could care less than I was blogging to the universe about his attributes? It almost seemed too good to be true. And predictably - as soon as if it seemed that he was out of my reach and I had colossally ****** up - I had to take back the boy. Operation Take Back involved flowers, a dress, and my hands deep in bloody marinated lamb (it turned out delightful). A successful night, you may think to yourself.
*Your DCT should always be comprised of 2/3 members of the opposite gender, and 1/3 of your own gender. DCT should be FB/Gchat/Gmail/Twitter-accessible at all times and in any kind of emergency. DO NOT abuse the kindness of your DCT. Show them the love- perhaps a chocolate at Valentine's Day, or a kind word from time to time. They are your invaluables.
