AWKWARD MOMENT
Ok so I go for my runs every evening to try and get fit before the holiday season yadda, yadda, yadda... and last week I ran into this gorgeous woman whom I had met at a party. The only downside was that she was walking into my direction and not in my direction, so every time we would cross paths, it felt weird because I didn’t know if I should make eye contact and/ or say something or maybe just smile every time we passed each other etc.
When we met over the first round we exchanged pleasantries, blah, blah, blah. When coming up to the 2nd round, it almost had me thinking about what I would say to her while we crossed each other again and then I decided on complimenting her on her new Reezigs. That went well, but as we approached each other over the 3rd round, her hair was so bouncy and had so much swing that without a thought I blurted out, “Nice bounce”. She looked at me weird, but because of the fact that I was running, she didn’t have much of a chance to say anything back. As I continued my run, I realized she must have misconstrued my complimenting her nice bouncy hair for something else. I stopped my run right there, got into my car and drove off home. I haven’t been going to that same place no more.
What do you think I should do? Go back and apologise, stick to my new venue or just go back and pretend like I’m cool and have been outta town for the last week.
if some guy told me 'nice bounce' while i was running I'd be really offended. So you should go back and apologize to her if you see her and just explain want you meant:)

Clt, only one thing to do...you fall off a horse, you need to get right back on...So, next time you see her, give her your best smile and invite her for coffee...or tea...what ever you think is best!
after initial look... she probably didn't give it another thought... unless she's obsessing about you;-p
I thought so too, I was pretty convinced my compliment during the 3rd round would nail it... I didn't even get there :-(
That bizarre look she gave me when I said that made me really uncomfortable, which then got me thinking of what I said... and then I realized... DAMN!!! :-(
Thanks a ton Tinky Sweetie pie,.....looks like a lot did happen "while I was sleeping"!
hey colt, doha is so small that the probability of meeting her again is very high... move on by saying hello next time yeah...
Colt, what happened to you???
I would have thought you would have secured a date right then and there.....are you ok????? ;)
This seems like a high school story... Dude it's not that big of a deal so just go to your regular routine, no worries... She probably didn't even remembers that "indecent"... Haha can't help it... If you two became close friends this will going to be your funny story with her...
tony...lol! Im curious what other things were bouncing?
Hey, maybe she got it right from the beginning and said to her self: How dull! Looking at my hair when other things are bouncing :)
No you could make it smooth, don't run after her, you can ask her if she minds running alongside you, but don't race with her :)
If she didn't slap u the 1st time, u have a chance...
what makes you think she even gave that comment a second thought after she left the field?
I know I wouldn't... expecially since my bounce is being commented on regularly;-p
Crap, the place I jog at, I meet all those "strong men" from Doha jadeed.
Let me know where the indian-american chicks go to jog.
BTW, this post made my day :) Haha. Just return after a week and act all cool and aloof
lol Ukeng! Im too shy and young to respond on that. lol!
so Moral of the story - SEX plays an important role....:)
mariecor, Since then I never asked that questioned again, Now I ask do you believe in Sex after marriage .. the rest of above is same..:)
Flor1212, with the "sex" Ukeng ex-gf disappeared. What more if he said "sexes?" Maybe he got kick in his sex organ first prior to disappearing.
"sexes" with your best friend! Lol!
Yes Britexpat..compliments indeed can be misinterpreted,
I was asking this to one of me ex GF over a meal, if she was opened minded and believed in sex before marriage. She said yes of course. I said is it OK, that I have sex with your best friend before we get married!
Never saw her again!
so did you make up ur mind - Coltey ?
Tinker get a room! hehe
Compliments can sometimes be misconstrued. I tried chatting up a lady at the Ramada a few days ago. Apparently nice beard isn't a compliment. :o(
Very much Indian, you have any doubts about that? :-P

I'll be the third opinion (in any case)! Lol!
10 steps behind with a strecher and an Ambulance on the standby ! :(
Hell yeh she is a Nuke-Bomb!!! :-P
If she is American then nothing o worry about.. Just go back and be cool. If you need any support just let me know I will follow you 10 steps behind..:)
Coltey do one thing, grow your beard,moustache and hairs very long for some time and go there for a Jog...and when u see her, tell her tat - doesnt my beard and hairs bounce same like yours ? :)
Hope you're doing well!
The weird look she gave me didn't suggest she enjoyed the compliment. That's what made me think back on it :-(
With that DNA combination, am sure must be a Nuke-Bomb!
Colt dude, if you not going back there, I’ll! ^_*
you started with complimenting her shoes and started going up. hmmmmmmmmmmm
Sorry Colt45! My mistake.
then it's a double compliment! She won't mind, believe me, Padre!
Did you even read the post properly? I said I met her at a party before... which part of that did you not understand? :-(
Tats such a cowardly decision ! :(
If i was in ur place, i would have gone the next day and said her tat 'on every ounce you spend at Lulu you will get a Nice Bounce'.....:)
It was so quick for you to inquire about the origin of the woman and offend her with her swing & bouncy hair.
Is this story a fiction just to have something to post in here?
I think Ima play it cool... act like nothing happened and if she asks where I've been, I will say I was outta town on work ;-)
Everybody wins!!! :-D
OK Coltey, wat does ur heart says ?
a) Should continue ur routine jog/walk as if nothing has happened ?
b) Go and apologize to her to wat u said ?
c) Take a bouqet with a small card with a note "Nice Bounce" and when u meet her throw on her head and run as fast as u can ? :)
They flee depending on what you ate earlier :-P
lol! didn't say she was wearing one either! lol
It happens to the best of us so don't loose any sleep over it.
Not a very good act for a married man to write about!!! (if it is true)
This may not work for every situation, but farting at the peak of the silence is really funny and gets people to laugh...although sometimes they may flee
You're right buddy, you know it, usually I'm not the one to back off, is why this felt kinda awkward to go back and try and explain, that I just gave up :-(
She's an American Indian... mother American, father Indian... :-)
'Once Upon A Time In Doha'...my hairs too use to swing and bounce when i use to play football....:(
really... slipper??? Didn't you read she had Reezigs on? :-(
Or maybe you meant she would somehow get a hold of Rizks' slipper? :-P
It plays a very Important role !
Atleast, we can start a nationality bashing......:)
she was brisk walking and if you saw her, you too would compliment her hair... it had swing and bounce... so there was absolutely no pun intended there :-(
What does her nationality have to do with anything?
Rizks, I was about to ask the same question. Colt45, what is her nationality?
by the way, wat was the nationality of tat lady ? :)
Or he could always carry a dead chicken with him, at an awkward moment, take it out quickly and slam it on the ground.
everyone will forget what you did before that
Colt, Is that you who made the above comment to a stranger that also a lady? I am sure she should have bounced on your face with her shoes.
Risks, hope you are fine now. Did you mean the strong men from your neighbouring country?
Colt another suggestion...:)
now on wear a 'Santa Claus' costume and jog daily so tat she doesnt recognize you.....:)
You were lucky she didn’t chase you with a slipper in her hand ((:
Colt listen to Rizks he has experienced those so called strong men of Doha Jadeed.
lol Colt. I never thought u would put your tail in between your legs and run away..... knew you were witty enough to wiggle out of any situation.
Colty another option, change the venue go to Doha Jadeed area and do ur walk/jog there, u wont find anyone to compliment there but you will surely find some strong mens complementing 'you' for sure.....:)
No! Colt 45. If you jog, your hair bounce and tangle. So, your compliment was offensive.
Try the evenings, it's awesome weather and you feel really good after a workout :-)
I think Ima act all cool like nothing weird happened and if she's there and asks me about it, I will be like oh I was talking about your hair :-)
lol,...Colty,.....poor u ,go somewhere else a bit more stress free,...good luck exercising,... I cannot convince my self to go for my morning walks in this cold
:(!
Depends where you're looking at or pointing when you uttered the words. Better make it 3 Words (include the "hair") to make it safe.
Don't you think changing my direction would seem odd, considering I was running already in the opposite direction from the beginning?
hahaha! you should post this on funny... anyways, you dont need to apologize... obviously you were complementing on her hair... unless... :) stick to your route, the next time you bump with her again, ask what shampoo/conditioner is she using because her hair is bouncy... by then, she will realize that it was her hair you were complimenting about before... ;)
sounds like a teenage infatuation story :)
Sorry man but really made me laugh.
You should have ran in the same direction with her from the beginning
There is just one track, so there ain't no escaping :-(
I think the authorities should enforce a "ONE WAY" walking/ running path :-)
HMMMM,....Round one :pleasantries....
Round two: smile....
Round three: take a cue from what the other person does....
Round four: still unpleasant? change tracks...
But then again that's just my HHOP:D
Don't you think "nice bounce" is a nice compliment? :-(
Next time, dont throw compliment that will offend a woman. If you cant say nice compliment, better give her a smile. Im sure you compliment made her awkward. But you dont need to apologize to her. Just go back and pretend you're cool and have been out of town for the last week.
"Nice bounce" definitely pressed the red button and signaled TKO. Lol.
Two words uttered, may take more than 1 Round to gain points again.
I'm glad I did :-)
That's the weird thing... I was like wtf do I do, just look at the ground when I'm running or keep a straight face, smile... ????
Put it all behind you,..... the venue doesn't matter,... Just enjoy the lovely weather.....BTW... do u really have to say something to an acquaintance each time you pass by while exercising?
Go back and stick to your routine jogging...and if she meets you again, simbly say to her " Bahenji, "Nice bounce" you meant for her hair and nothing else and carry on....
ROFLMAO!!!! Oh bless you Colt! This made my day. :D
