Ben,

So you've hit a speed bump here....

As you know by now, any personal references to W's looks or body or whatever, zip it. When husbands get a positive response from their wives, they want more and more. The true test of a DBer is to be light and breezy. And short!

You'd have left W with a positive impression if you had left it at "lol. shut up"

We've all experienced this at one time in our early DBing. Yep...I've done my share of that crap too. It just comes across as clingy and leering. Not good.

Lesson learned. Dust yourself off and get back to GALing.
