Awkward moments you dread going through

You know those awkward moments that you have to go through in society now and then and you hate them, but you can't avoid them? That is what I'm talking about. Some you see coming, but still can't stop them and others you don't see coming at all.

One of the things I hate is when you go out to dinner or somewhere with your buddy and he brings his new girlfriend. Then your buddy will have to go to the bathroom and he leaves you two alone together with absolutely nothing to talk about. The mediator of all conversations has just left. So you end up asking the stupid lame questions like "So are you working or are you in school or...." and the whole conversation is just really awkward.

I hate those moments.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Will my dad come out with one of his infrequent but embarrassing racially predjudiced comments? Will he happen to pick Chinese (like my girlfriend) this time, just to really dump me in the crapper? I don't think he's really all that predjudiced, but he does come from a time period when everyone would make inappropriate "jokes"... sometimes those "jokes" come back out at the worst possible time.

Will my mom decide that the time is right to discuss marriage and grandchildren? Probably. It's not like she's ever going to miss that opportunity? Neither of us want children, but since I'm an only son, it isn't likely that my mom will stop pining for grandchildren any time soon.

Will one, or both of my parents decide to make some kind of clumsy and awkward "humerous" reference to our sex life? Probably. Between them, they have managed to do so with every other girl that I've brought home to see them.

Lets face it, that's what a man's parents do, right? They say the wrong thing in front of your partner. I know in the case of my parents, they are great people, but whenever there is an awkward silence, real show-stopper "jokes" seem to be the way they prefer to break the ice.

That's when I die a little on the inside.

haha, man I'm with you on this one. No girls around my parents ever. Those little meetings never happen ever with me. Also at the same time it doesn't really bother me to meet a girl's parents. Parents love me because I'm extremely polite. I've always been polite and cordial my whole life.

I just thought of another one: Asking a person of the same sex on a "date." I'm referring to a heterosexual date. The kind where you meet someone of the same sex that you really like and think you'd want to be friends with, and you have to figure out a way to ask them if they want to do something with you without looking like you're hitting on them.

I think this is much more difficult for females. Guys just go, "Hey, you want to go grab a beer and some chicken wings?" Girls have to torment themselves over it for days before they think of the right thing to say. Then they have to spend a day or so working up to it and worrying about getting turned down or being given some lame excuse.

This is probably why I don't have many female friends.

Something about the chicken wings part made me laugh. Don't know why.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
