I STINK!

So I went on a date to a Barber Shop Quartet concert one night with a friend from school. He's really into music as well...although I don't think he appreciates men who can sing well A Capella as much as I do.

Things were going very well and the performances were phenomenal...until I had to go and screw everything up...

My hands were really dry and I hate when my hands are dry--that and chapped lips, so I usually have lotion and chap stick. Any who, I reached inside my bag and grabbed my favorite lotion: Warm Vanilla Sugar. Knowing a little goes a long way, and that it's pretty strong, I put a little dab in my palm.


As soon as I start to lather the goodness into my skin...he starts coughing.

"Are you okay?"

"*cough* What are you wearing? *cough cough*"

"Uh...some lotion?"

His eyes get huge and he leans in like he as a severely important secret and he whispers to me "You stink."

At first I wanted to laugh at how ridiculous he looked...but then he coughed again, and I realized this is not the time nor place.

"You don't like Vanilla?"

"I hate Vanilla..."

I didn't know what to do so I flung my hands to the chairs on the other side of me and started to frantically wipe the scent off my hands. I'm pretty confident I apologized at least five times too. He laughed at me while coughing and told me I was fine...but I was too embarrassed to accept that and so I hid my hands inside my bag.

At the end, I apologized for being a terrible date by trying to kill him with the toxic fumes of my lotion; he told me it was okay and not to worry about it...but he hasn't asked me for another date since...

Oh well, he wasn't that cute...but who doesn't like Vanilla?! I mean honestly...that's bizarre.
