Oooh, it would be really hard to beat the ob/gyn for awkward places to meet guys! For me it’s not so much the where I am as the what I look like–you always run into people you’d like to impress when you’re wearing old clothes (usually also covered in pet hair, unbeknownst to me), no makeup, having a bad hair day, and with a fresh crop of PMS pimples, don’t you? Or is that just me?
Please say it’s not just me!
It’s always the way, isn’t it? Perfect timing!
Meeting a guy at a wedding or a rehearsal dinner can be awkward as well. Especially if it’s the groom to be or someone else in the wedding party.
Yes, very awkward if it’s the groom! 😉
being set up by a friend with their friend who just “happens” to turn up – after you have already told them your not interested in their “friend”
Some friends are sneaky aren’t they? 😉
At the dentist? It would be very awkward and embarrassing if he heard me screaming ..I hate dentists:((
Thank you for the awesome giveaway!
Lol, too true! Especially if you had that numb face thing going on and tried to smile but only managed a lopsided one with drool dribbling out! erk! 😉
At the doctors, to much information already known.
Too true 😉
At his parent’s house. I’ve done it & it wasn’t pretty I’ll tell you.
Parents and dates… don’t mix! 😉
Let’s see, awkward meetings…
At a party I didn’t want to go to, for a girl I wasn’t particularly friends with, when I was interested in somebody else.
But hey, we’re married now. Thirteen years and still going strong. Just goes to show, if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen no matter what. I was meant to go to that party 16 years ago…
What a great story Michelle!
I think the way I met my husband was pretty awkward. I agreed to a blind date, because I was a chef who worked when all the singles were partying. When he turned up on my doorstep I was shocked, because he was older than I’d been told (only 6 years, but that’s a lot when you’re 18 yo). He presented me with flowers and we suffered the 1st date questioning over too loud music. I admit to torturing the poor guy by asking him to order a screaming orgasm cocktail, but luckily he was frightened off. The rest is history.
How funny! 🙂
In line at the chemist with something embarrassing in your hand, like ‘stool softener’ or thrush treatment? That would have to be pretty awkward haha. Love the whole idea behind the book, having just been preggers. Never would have dreamt up such a cracker of a plot idea – even while waiting for countless hours in my ob-gyn’s reception area! Then again, my ob-gyn was female hehe…
Oh God that would be a nightmare, Carla! Congrats again on your bundles of joy 🙂
I would think it would be very awkward to meet a man at an ex or boyfriend’s house 😉
Yes that would be awkward, hehe. I’m getting lots of ideas for books here!
And the winner is…. Mary Preston! Congrats, we’ll be in touch 🙂
Thanks to everyone for dropping by, and don’t forget to check out Brooke’s book to see how the character handles this ‘awkward’ situation. 😉
