Because it wouldn't be ironic if it didn't and the longer I live, the more convinced I am that God loves irony .
You didn't respond in kind and that's a point in your favor. Focus on the positive. At the lunch, DB but don't over DB, you know? The principles as I understand them remind me of yoga: light, flexible, inoffensive, but incredibly strong. You sound very determined to DB during the lunch and that's good but try not to let that enthusiam carry over into an "I'm gonna DB you into submission" attitude. When done correctly, these things pack a lot of power into a very small exchange so again, less is more. Not that I know about doing it correctly, I've heard others tell about it . Good luck.
