Dating Etiquette: Does He Hold Your Hair Back?
Notice the hairy guy to the right.
We went to another bar and spotted a couple of cute guys! I went up to them; they were from Ireland and they live here! Lovely accents. I think they liked that I was drinking a Guinness, my name was Erin, and that I'd been to Dublin. (Either that, or they were smelling the pheromones.) Of course I asked them if they'd read Angela's Ashes, and of course they hadn't. I've never met an Irishman who has. You might as well ask them if they've ever spotted a leprechaun and a pot of gold.
A Hot Chick at work.
Before long, well, I started seeing four Irishmen. I totally got the spins. I'm pretty sure Hot Chicks aren't supposed to drink so much (but I really didn't!!). Suddenly, I HAD to go. I left Betsy with a male friend who had joined her. One of the guys walked me out to find a cab. I couldn't even stay long enough to thank him.
At home, I puked my guts out (Betsy did, too! I swear we were drugged; we drank water and not even one full beer after the sangria). The next morning I woke up with a numb hand. I went to the Symptom Checker on WebMD. An alert popped up: "If you have finger numbness or tingling in your fingers following eating contaminated fish please seek emergency medical attention." OMFG! I called my doctor and she said to come in right away if I felt "stable"—which freaked me out even more. She did some tests on my arms and hands. I even had to tell her I ate 8 tacos. Humiliating! And all for nothing—she said the vomiting was probably due to the sangria, and the numbness is likely a pinched nerve and unrelated to the taquitos. Damn!
(This reminds me of the second time I went to the hospital for Lyme Disease and was diagnosed with a hangover. I am really starting to see a pattern here!)
Anyway, I'm wondering: when you party too hard, do you like your man to hold your hair back? I always prefer to take care of my business behind closed doors—throwing up is embarrassing. Oh! And for more from the Hot Chicks, watch them on The TODAY Show here.
