"Last week on a quick jaunt to NYC, I visited with my lovely Smitten co-blogger Ariane (we totally talked about you guys, but in a good way). As we sat at a bar, I realized it was the same place where I suffered one of my most humiliating dating moments ever. I told Ariane the story and we agreed I should tell you guys too&amp;amp;#133; On a sunny Saturday afternoon while I was newly single after a breakup a few months before, my friend Meredith and I slipped away post-brunch to sit outside at a local bar and sip a beer. We ended up staying for hours when a hilarious group of guys of all ages, dressed in English folk dancing outfits, showed up and performed a song and dance number (we didn&amp;#x27;t really get it either, I think it was for May Day or something?) and then proceeded to get down to some serious drinking. One super-cute guy caught my eye, and we exchanged several flirty glances before he came over to chat. We talked and laughed about their crazy outfits and dancing, and I was totally feeling it. Eventually, the group decided to make their way to the next bar, and my guy said goodbye and took off. I was a little bit disappointed that we hadn&amp;amp;#8217;t exchanged any contact information to keep in touch, but I chalked it up to a fun afternoon. Then, he burst back onto the patio. My eyes lit up and my friend gave me an excited look as he walked over to us. He was totally coming back to get my phone number and ask me out, right? Um, half right. He did come back for a phone number and date&amp;amp;#133;.but he made a beeline for a girl at the table next to me, who he hadn&amp;amp;#8217;t exchanged a word with all afternoon, and left with her number!! What. The. What?!? You guys, it was even more mortifying than it sounds because it was obvious to everyone in the small bar what had just happened. I swear one of the girls at the next table gave me a sympathetic look as my guy picked up her friend. I think an older lady across the room sighed and said, &amp;quot;Oh dear.&amp;quot; And even Meredith, who is usually good for a pep talk was just like, &amp;amp;#8220;OK, that was the worst. We have to leave immediately.&amp;amp;#8221; Oh well, I&amp;#x27;m sure I dodged a bullet with that jerk (ruuuude), but I still cringe when I remember that moment! Yikes! Have you ever had a totally humiliating, flirting gonenwrong moment? Please, for the love, tell me yours so I feel better! What happened? How did you handle it?
