Is LRT applicable here?

That's the weirdest date I've ever heard! I don't think going on a first date with the parents is exactly the way you'd script it!

JEFF - I'm stalking you.

Fergie! Meet Jeff! Jeff! Meet Fergie!

Now, Jeff, why don't you add some of your valuable advice! Actually, scratch that, your humor is more fun!

[Fergie]

Hi Jeff. Nice to meet you.

That was definitely was weird. I know everything was innocent, but at times I sure felt a little weird/guilty. Both my friends there know my sitch. I'm not sure if my band pal's W is talking with my W lately. Making my W jealous was the last thing on my mind.

Given the situation, I would say you have a fun evening with some friends. One of whom happened to be an attractive young woman. From what I read, I don't really think you went past any lines, though you might have been able to see them from where you were!

I will say this... a little validation from a lady does a lot for the PMA! I have been stepping out of my comfort zone, and the results have been a bit surprising to me! I haven't kept up with your sitch (I've been trying, no real successfully to wean myself from the boards!) but perhaps there's a way to spin the self confidence into the your interactions with your W.

I am not a supporter of the jealousy card that some think is a good idea. But confidence and a bounce in your step can't be a bad thing.

There you go, mindfull, advice!

A bagpiper scientist who can dance, and hold his liquor? LOL Whoa!

I wouldn't necessarily say I "can dance". But I'm not as bad a Elaine on "Seinfeld". {George:} "It's like a full body dry heave set to music."

And there have been rare instances when I haven't been stellar at avoiding the technicolor yawn.

Fergie - I'm dying here. My husband told me about five years ago... "You know, you're kind of reminding me of Elaine on Seinfeld!" (while dancing) Nice

[Fergie]

LMAO

Did you do the little kicks and the thumbs?

Your H sounds like a peach. What a nice compliment. LOL

[mindfull]

I told him... Don't hate. At least my as$ isn't glued to a chair!

kicks - DEF
thumbs - probably DURING the head spins

[Fergie]

It certainly helps. I'm not sure how I feel about the jealousy card. I think if I chose to play it, it would not go over well.

I agree. I don't really go for the manipulation sort of thing. And that's what the jealousy card feels like to me. Plus it usually involves putting other people in a position that they shouldn't be in. I'm not going to say it would never work, just that I don't think it's something I would do or advise. Then again, I am now divorced!
