Bouncing Back From Dating Disasters

Thursday July 31, 2008

I've had a few dating disasters in my time, and I've helped more than a couple of people troubleshoot what to do next after taking part in a dating disaster. Some I'd like to forget, and a couple I still laugh about today (see a prior post about dating disasters for one of my personal favorites). But when a friend reminded me a while back of a couple of dating disasters that her and her now-husband shared, I had to wonder just how common these kinds of situations occur with people who end up in long-term relationships together.

So, I asked around, and collected some of my favorites in these dating disaster stories - all of which have a happy ending. Some are from straight daters, others are gay. And one or two are even celebrities: anyone a fan of The Bachelor? you'll find a story from the inaugural Bachelor here too. But no matter who tells the story, the outcome is the same: these people managed to take a hairy dating situation and turn it to their advantage - a superpower skill set that (I feel) every single person should cultivate.
