I am so embarrassed and can never go to the park again

Name changed.

So today I took my pup to the park. She is only 12 weeks old and is very excited to meet people. And a girl. That's important

I was walking through the parks gardens and a man with a grown rottie is walking towards me.

He is gorgeous Just my type. Built like Chris Hemsworth but dark hair and tattoos. I am just a frumpy mum and it's been a long while since I've talked to anyone hot so I sort of avoided eye contact as I have anxiety and he was really lovely (have 0 confidence)

So I'm trying to style out walking passed him without tripping when Ddog starts to jump at his dog. So he says 'aww hello little one' to Ddog.

I have to stop.

I can feel myself blushing already (sad, I know)
He introduces his dog and nods towards Ddog and asks what his name is.
His

I couldn't think. His question just stuck in my brain. HIS. I blurted out ....'Max'

He starts with all the usual questions. How old is HE. Is HE good.

I'm replying 'Yes HE is. He's very good

I'm in too far. I can't correct myself.
I'm trying to make excuses. We start to part ways....and Ddog....what does she do? Rolls on her back for a belly rub.

He strokes her belly as a parting goodbye...

"Oh"
Me "well I better go"
Him "....do you know she's a girl?"

I was on fire. Sweating.

I had to PRETEND I'D SPENT 4 WEEKS NOT KNOWING THE SEX OF MY DOG. I had to act surprised.

He must have thought I escaped from somewhere.
Stole the dog?

I don't know what he was thinking but he looked like he wanted to get away even faster than I did

So. I can never go to the park again

Great.

You think that's bad @KoalaKubes, I missed the word "pup" in your OP and thought for a moment you were talking about your baby!

I honestly didn't have the headspace to make an excuse or talk my way out of it. I was just opening my mouth like a goldfish.

I once tried to get off a lift at the wrong floor three times in a single journey to the ground floor of a 6-storey hotel. I was so flustered at the Heath Ledger lookalike who was also in the lift that I made a complete tit of myself. Fortunately, I will never be in that hotel again, but I feel your pain Koalakubes

Oh dear - thanks OP, I needed cheering up today. Sorry to laugh at your expense. You'll obviously have to find another park or a boy dog.

scammedohshit · 19/09/2018 20:21

Bloody brilliant!

Helpimfalling · 19/09/2018 20:21

May have just pissed myself

Shadow1234 · 19/09/2018 20:28

This made me laugh out loud too! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ShowOfHands · 19/09/2018 20:30

Oh I feel your pain. I'm teetotal and always have been. I'm not ashamed of this fact. Except a few years ago whilst at a party and postnatal and frumpy, the v glamorous host offered me wine. I just couldn't form the words "no thank you, I don't drink". So I took that wine, tried to sip it, scrunched up my nose involuntarily and choked a bit but managed not to spit it out. Several long minutes later after the bewildered hostess had backed away from me in dismay, she rediscovered me, her socially inept guest, trying to tip the wine into a jeffing pot plant.

You could have saved it by saying that she identifies as a he.

Lalliella · 19/09/2018 20:34

😂😂😂😂😂 and an extra 😂 for the PP who made the barking comment

OctopusLimbs · 19/09/2018 20:40

I told someone my 6 month old DD was called Malcolm for very similar reasons. Luckily I was not found out though!

StopPOP · 19/09/2018 20:42

Oh poor you! Don't avoid the park. Put brave pants on and if you speak again tell him his utter gorgeousness forced you to become tongue tied and confused. That it's entirely his fault and he should buy you a coffe by way of an apology

So OP, what I’m wondering is what is the dogs name really? Anything that sounds like max?

ClemClemFandango · 19/09/2018 21:08

That really made me laugh.

And at 'barking' too.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 19/09/2018 21:24

He was so hitting on you OP!

KoalaKubes · 19/09/2018 21:28

No. Nothing like Max. It's a 2 syllable girl dog name beginning with D

He so wasn't. No one can resist a puppy. Especially mine. ( biased)
