OK - I think I've started to think of myself as "single" although it still doesn't click in very quickly...
Today I looked pretty together -- pink suit, pink (high) heels, pearls, even my hair cooperated. And I felt OK enough that I could pretend I am thinner than I am...So I stop at a Starbucks between meetings...and the guy behind me is reading the newspaper. He and I begin chatting about the front page story on Roller Derby making a comeback. We compare notes, we were the same age when it was on TV, etc. etc. He's nicely dressed, pretty good looking, no wedding ring. He comments on my suit - "you look really nice, you must be someone important" - and I tell him no - but I do tell him what I do, etc. We continue to chat as we wait for our coffees, and when I pick up mine, he hands me his card and says, "if you ever want to go to the Roller Derby - email me." I realize in that moment that we've been flirting (he started it), I take his card, and say something stupid like, "I might" and walk toward the door.
And then I TRIP over the rain mat, stumble forward and splash coffee and whipped cream (white chocolate mocha) all down the glass front door. Can you say "LOSER!"? I was suddenly back in high school, not knowing what to do now but knowing everyone was watching. I turned beat red and I should have bolted.
But no! I grab napkins, clean off the door first, and THEN bolt. (because I'm "nice")
*sigh* -- so much for getting a date. I'm wearing sweats tomorrow.
And how was your day?

Not only do you have good choice in coffee and clothes (PLUS catch the attention of attractive men), but you're a good little housekeeper too!! Only a confident, strong woman would have stuck around and cleaned up.....most of us wimps would have made a mad dash for the car! *smile*
God bless,
Sandy

I always trip and fall, spill stuff on me, other people, etc. Its imbarassing I know, but try not to be so hard on yourself!
You should definitely email him (so much easier than calling!!!)
So did he see you trip? Did he offer to help or anything? And of course you're going to clean up your mess, that's normal if you ask me.

If he's really interested he won't care about that. We're all human. You should call him!! :P
