Dinner with Swim Coach (Page 2)

HACK, GAARPSSSKKK, hitting chest, DYING NOISES.....

I just choked on my sandwich.

If you want to avoid awkward situations, don't leave your house. And don't answer your door. And don't respond to any man who smiles or speaks to you. Or woman, cuz you never know if they're homosexual.

It doesn't have to be weird or awkward. Maybe if you explore why you react or feel that way (your reactions are about you and not him, after all) then you can learn to deal with it and not let it get you worked up.

As for trusting yourself, I didn't say trust yourself not to get naked. I asked if you trust yourself to competently manage awkward situations. Maybe this is the problem?

On some levels, yes that is the problem. She is too nice, needs to be more assertive. *

*my opinion

Sorry Janelle, you put it out here, its gonna get analyzed!

Is he??  Hmmm...maybe I need to make a trip to Atlanta. 

No Comet- I AM assertive.  You haven't seen me in action.  I am ALWAYS the one who has to tell the guy "this is only as friends".  I've said that so many times (bringing it up myself) that I don't even flinch anymore.  I think what I'll do is next time I talk to him and he brings it up the topic of dinner, that's when I'll establish the boundaries.  If he's cool, he'll appreciate my honesty and won't care.  If he just wanted me to "wocork" his wahoo, then he won't waste his time taking me to dinner and will find someone else. In the mean time, I'm going to PM Rocketman and see when I can meet his bro

Oh no Ken- it can't be a date.  I've taken a break from dating until the end of the year.  So it can only be as friends so I don't violate my own rule   And BTW- I have been wanting to write a book about my single life- it's always so interesting.

OUCH. Bad Comet.

LOL

When did you put the brakes on dating? This week? Just wondering

Seriously, maybe you should take a break from over analyzing all the guys in your life (coaches, gym guys, guys to take your number, get your number from friends, etc) and just let it happen...break or no break.

I think now that your training will be a little lighter (after the race) it might be the time to be open to dating, less Janelle tri time.

It's a long story.  Hard to explain and confusing.  Don't worry- I'll make sure to explain it to you on the long car ride down to Miami- plenty of time- he,he!

No actually it was back in July.  My time was up at the end of September, and life has been so simple without anti-tri guys that I extended it   Long story- we'll talk later.

LMAO!!! I NEVER would have known....rotflmao.

Umm...my vehicle is non I POd friendly.  No I Pods allowed when I'm driving!

ha ha haaaa ha ha....

Don't make me stop this car and get out and beat you!  You must follow my rules while being in my car! 

I'll do what I can to be at Florida next year. Promise.

Yes- IM FL must go on your calendar.  I'll need a jock strap!
