the pube line made me guffaw like a loon in this deathly quiet office when I’m meant to be doing “serious things.” just thought you should know.

Did you try to touch her stomach, too? Just kidding, that’s just one of those things that’s hilarious-when strangers touch other stranger’s preggo bellies.

I would be the same way with meeting people who know me from my blog. But lately my blog has sucked so it would probably be better to meet the in-person me.

I’ve met a couple people and I have been apprehensive EVERY SINGLE TIME. Because, like, I have NO IDEA what image people have of me in their head. Like, zero. Not even a ballpark idea. I bet you were great though!!

ah, the thing we fear the most…not living up to someone else’s expectations..especially when we don’t know what those expectations are, and in reality are our own overly high expectations of ourselves!! I’m glad you put those fears behind you and the two of you had a great meet and a good meal!!

Hee!! Blogging in person dates are scarrrrry. I’ve only had one so far. It ended up being fun, though!

Also, I am terrible at returning compliments. Half of the time, a conversation ends and I realize that the other person has been so gracious and that I’m an asshole. When I meet YOU in person, we’ll probably have the least compliment-filled conversation in history.

Um, if you EVEN THINK that by posting this you’re getting out of drinking with me you are SO fucking wrong.

By the way, I’m even more socially inept than you.

Do you hug on the first date?

Hi there, found you through some of the other blogs I read. Your ?Oh, you have two cats? That?s cool. I have an ingrown pubic hair.? line made me choke on my tea this morning. Thanks for the laugh.

Oh how fun (even if also nerve-inducing). BlogHer will be such a “pressure-is-off” kind of environment! Can’t wait!

Goodness! You couldn’t have been LESS awkward. You were funny and fun and I had a great time.

And just wait – I’ll take you up on the babysitting offer, missy!
