Break Bread with Me

So at least some good came out of the bad date--I got a good meal and a great story. I'm glad it has brought some laughter to you, my dear readers, going by your responses. Heehee. I'm beginning to think that I should have started writing some single girl's column a long time ago--the Misadventures of the Single Dolly!

But I think no man wants to break bread with me anymore after that post on Mr. B. They're all going to think dimsumdolly's going to chop them into mince meat with her scathing words after dining with her. But your loss, I say. Haha.

I got a request from someone to post that entry on a blog 'cos the people who read his/her blog would appreciate it as Mr. B reminds all of them of someone they know. I said, fine, go ahead! Be my guest!

I got another comment from a guy who said who wouldn't dare dine with me 'cos he wouldn't know what would happen after that. Well, it's all very simple really--either you end up on the chopping board or I just keep quiet and not write about you at all. That's supposed to be a good thing--the not being mentioned.

Then another comment from a guy friend who said I have too "dominant" a character such that few men will be able to fit my requirements. All very comforting words.

So who's still up for breaking bread with me? ;p

hey girl, i disagree with your guy friend who says you have too dominant (domineering?) a character, cos you don't! your bad blind date is very clear-cut case of a guy who just didn't know how to treat his date politely.

i dun think all men dislike or are scared of "dominant" or domineering characters... some may like the women to be in charge, and in my opinion really there is nothing wrong to either be dominant or be perceived as being dominant, regardless of your gender.

some guys are just big time Losers, with a capital L. just pin it down as a 'sway' date that came with great free meal. as for your guy friend who said u were too domineering or dominant..... well, obviously he hasn't met the rest of your friends including me. dominant? we're definitely not. opinionated? we're definitely yes. and we definitely know how to treat our men right, if they deserve it.

so tell ur guy friend - come meet us!! BRING IT ON BOY! be a man. ;)

luv ya gurrlfriend!
