Dear Casper and Bill,
I was out with some friends of mine for a few drinks after work last Friday and apparently I had a few too many, because I made some advances on one of my best friends from high school – who I am not at all attracted to. I didn’t even know I had done it until he brought it up a few days later, and now he’s angling for a date and perhaps more. What do I do? Tell him I was hammered and completely unaware of my actions? Agree to go on a date and let him down gently?
Dear “The Devil Made Me Do It,”
How many times have we heard that same old story: “OMG, what did I do last night? I don’t remember a thing” or “Are you sure that we actually “did it” or even worse “Do you remember what we did?” Of course, the worst is “I did it with him/her? What in the world was in that drink?” So, as far as we are concerned, go with the flow, honey. Don’t hurt his feelings and go out with the guy; if he thought you were his piece-of-beauty for the night, why not be a nice little girl and get to know him better? Do not insult him or else he might think he has a “man’s problem.” Just be sure this time to go easy on the libations. . . and then you can dump him.
