Dating Disaster - Online Dating and Too Much Alcohol

DIANNE: I started chatting with a guy at an online dating site, and after a couple of months we agreed to meet. I was very nervous about meeting him, so we met at a place where I know a lot of people.

My nerves got the best of me, so I drank a little too much and started acting REALLY silly and crazy - like agreeing to get in his car with him. We went to a parking over looking the city and we made out like mad. THEN a police officer came over and shined a light on us, asking us to leave.

I was so embarrassed. I was in my 30's and acting like a teenager! When I said good night I thought, "Man, I will never see THAT guy again. I am an idiot!"

Alas, we have been married nearly ten years and are deliriously happy!
