I don't know what is worst - forging through singles bars or "busybody" married friends! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

So I’ve got this friend who like a number of my other friends is dead set on hooking me up. Well one of these well meaning folk - despite my protests, went agaist my wishes put me into a really uncomfortable position with one of these friend of a friend of a friend deadly crossfire ambush dating situations. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif

So unknown to me is that they’d already given my pictures to this gal (BTW this is a different gal from the one last week – I’m still working that one) and she tells them she’d love to meet me. Of course they spring this one on me after inviting me over to watch some of the games (Broncos lost and was doubly mad) only to find out I'd walked into a totaly set up!

Ok while this normally would be something I’d just suck it up be nice for the rest of the shindig, then when nobody was looking I'd vanish never to be seen again. Problem is she’s one of my son’s high school teachers. Not sure she knows this, otherwise I’d guess she’d of brought it up already. She didn't say anything so I'm thinking I'm safe for the time being.

So here’s my dilemma – should I still just vanish into the night never to be seen again as planned? If so and she ever figures out who I am I might jeopardize my son’s situation. Or <GULP!> see her again when she’s not even my type on <OMG!> so many levels?!?!

So any thoughts?

Oh and as for that *friend* of mine, who did me this favor - this is one guy who’ll never get another free beer or pretzel at my house ever again, nor will I allow him to hide from his wife in my garage anymore either.

Ring! Ring!
Hello? Oh hi Helen.
What? Is your husband over here? I don’t know let me check?
Hey is Bob out there? (Bob’s next to me giving me hand signals that he’s not there).
Hey Helen? Yea, Bob just left & is on his way home? Yea take care.
 
When we were 18, a buddy and I were out on a first time date with a couple of very good look gals. Making lite conversation, I mentioned that he was a gynecologist. The two girls looked confused, and asked "What!". To which I responded, "Yea, you know, a spelunker, a cave explorer". We took them home right after that.

Oh, as to your dilemma, play the dolt, it will only make your son look better.
 
Hooooooooooboi!

You could always explain VERY nicely that since she is one of your son's high-school teachers, you would not feel comfortable in putting her in a position whereby someone might accuse her of having a conflict of interest, and that maybe if you are both in the same circumstances down the road some time when that is no longer the case, you would be happy to maybe meet up again some time?

That is exactly what I was thinking when I read about your situation. Maybe conflict of interest, but also that it would be uncomfortable for you.

Then run my friend /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif

& then hammer your "friend" - he needs to know to back off! Or if its his wife, to control her!

That’s all well and good but I guess I should reveal another aspect of this. I went to parent teacher night (no students) about a month back and I’m still hoping she didn’t recognize me. Shouldn't as she must've seen hundreds of parents that night.

Anyway while all the parents where seated this gal started to describe the curriculum for the class (zoology of all things) and part of her presentation involved some demonstrations of some of her visual aids. So she then proceeded to pick up a couple of feather’s and prance around demonstrating some weird bird’s the mating dance.

God bless her but while she might be a good teacher – I’m thinking keeping a low profile is the best idea and hope she doesn’t call me back.

I don’t need another stocker thank you very much.

Oh & Tony? It’s been taken care of.
 
Watch what you say about weird birds and mating dances in the same sentence mister...

Maybe she recognized you and was sending you a message!

Sounds like quite a character; I like her already.
