Ok, I date a LOT. I flirt a lot. And normally I'm pretty good at it, with certain notable exceptions like today... There's this guy who seems really genuine and a nice person and I didn't really think too much about it, until I ran into him again, and discoverefd that I become a gibbering mess when I get around a guy I might actually like.
Y'all, my mouth would not stay shut! I told him that I eat an apple every day! that my dentist said I do an excellent job taking care of my teeth! that I have an abnormally small head! and can't wear hats! then I stopped just short of describing how icky and snotty I was when I had bronchitis last month! At that point, it was clear I had somehow become a trainwreck of uncool and so I made myself walk away. It was so bad. I didn't even think I liked him, but apparently I do. And now he knows me as the retard with a thing for apples and excellent oral hygiene. Oh god.
i bet he thought it was cute. but next time, i don't suggest bring up that you felt like you sounded like a dork. because then you may stumble over things again. not saying that you would do that, i just have a silly habit of trying to fix things like that.

hahaha! That's hilarious, Dizzy. And totally something I would do. And do do. Even though I technically have "the boy" now, sometimes when I get nervous around him I go into "I'm an idiot" mode and proceed to babble like there's no tomorrow.
I bet he thought it was cute. If he likes you too, he thought it was cute. And I would consider it a compliment of the highest order if you decided to let me in on your oral hygiene secrets. (If it were me anyway.)
