Dinner with Swim Coach

My knee jerk response is NO!!! but after some thought... could you bring another lady from the masters swim along with?

Thanks Comet- you know I had to get your approval first   Yeah- during MAster's he was going through his divorce and didn't really pay much attention to us.  Toward the end he let us all know he was sorry for not helping us as much as he could becuase he realized that he was wrapped up in his personal life during master's swim time.  So I can see where he feels bad.

Why would i want to share a meal with another lady??  I could bring my one friend who also swam Masters, but this is all about me!!  Kidding.  Ok- not really

However, if it gets flirty or you think he's hitting on you (he might stare at your *** if you go to the bathroom but thats OK) then you don't go anymore or only in a group setting. Its that easy.

It's one dinner -- it'll be Ok. You said yourself the whole crew is fairly social, so eating out once isn't really a red flag -- go, have a nice meal and enjoy your company. It doesn't have to be anything more than that if you don't let it.

His name isn't Lance is it?? Might have to change your tag line.......

No unfortunately Lance is not my coach.

Being a swim coach is the same as being a doctor or a shrink, so I don't think there's a problem with him dating his patients...

I always assume it's harmless until his wahoo is in my mouth.

/cough/ Um, I mean, what were we talking about?

Janelle, I think a better question is what do you think?

You're not obligated to break bread with anybody but if you want to go, then go.

What are you afraid might happen? And, more to the point, don't you trust yourself to capably handle any uncomfortable situation that might arise?

I just want to avoid awkwardness.  Like if he's interested in me, I'm not, then I have to tell him I'm not, then it's weird seeing him at swim practice.  You know- that's what I want to avoid.  As far as getting naked- I'm not worried about trusting myself.  I keep this baby clothed!!!
