Embarrassing Moments 101
Lesson for the day: What to do when introducing a friend of the opposite sex, and the person to whom you introduce him assumes you have more than friendship.Option 1: Take it as a prophecy and start planning your wedding.
Option 2: Interrupt the speaker (who keeps going on about your "relationship") and firmly correct the error, stating "no, no, we're just friends" (thereby eliminating any future chances of something).
Option 3: Smile and nod, while turning 50,000 shades of red, hoping the speaker will suddenly get laryngitis, or that the floor will suddenly drop open and swallow you.
Option 4: Laugh hysterically as if it's the greatest joke ever (which also eliminates future chances).
Option 5: Wait for a break in the conversation and then smoothly change the subject back to the real reason you introduced your "friend" to the speaker, that it is they, in fact, who have the connection and you were just the point of connection.
Option 6: While the speaker goes on and on, stare at your friend with an inquisitive but inviting look, until he realizes that the speaker is in fact speaking what should be so (which will likely make it even more awkward and may take a long time for him to realize it anyway).
Option 7: Listen distractedly, pretending to be a ditzy-blonde who isn't really hearing the conversation, while searching through your purse for some candy, preferably Skittles.
Option 8: Pick some random combination of these options, which will provide you with a great story to blog about the next day!
What happened, you may ask, what option did I choose? It was a mixture of 3 and 5 (I didn't want to ruin my future chances! hahaha!) Though perhaps option 1 may be a point of reference to some future conversation with my "friend"...LOL!
