I do have a very interesting update on this 🙂 I sent the the woman an email to both apologize and explain that I truly meant to compliment her but it came out the wrong way. She accepted my apology and we got together for coffee and have gone on a few dates since. My comments struck a nerve for two reasons — she had weight issues in the past and is still self-concious about it, and has too often had to deal with men who look at her primarily in a sexual/physical way.
It’s astonishing to me that we’re dating. Wouldn’t you think that getting slapped by a woman on your first encounter would be a deal breaker? Apparently I have much to learn about the opposite sex. You ladies can certainly be passionate in expressing both your wrath and your warmth 🙂
