Farting On A Date! Has This Ever Happened to You?

Nov. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Okay, for the record, let me say that this took place years ago. Obviously I will not use the woman's name (but once again I loved her dearly). I will say that we both lived in Columbia, Maryland at the time.

Anyway--

We were at a gathering, standing up and holding our plates and, non-alcoholic, drinks when I hear that unmistakable sound. The first time I ignored it and looked at the 5 people in our conversation circle to see if anyone was reacting or looking guilty. Nope, not a single micro-expression tell.

Then the noise happened again. Much to my utter shock and total embarrassment the girl I was with just stood there and uttered the following words:

"Excuse me"

You could have knocked me over with a feather.The conversation continued. We had just started dating and I was mortified. And, although I am known for my sense of humor, I had no clue as to how to 'play this off'. So I stood there along with everyone else trying not to show a reaction. Well, it made me so uncomfortable that I never brought it up with her.

Fast forward to present day.

I recently watched Dr. Mehmet Oz talking openly about how important it is to release the gas build up that occurs naturally in the course of a day. He went on to mention how many times the average person farts daily (yes, he did say "fart"), and that the healthy thing to do would be to just let it out.

Two thoughts occurred to me:

1) It must be interesting to be a close friend of Dr. Oz.
2) I imagine his wife must have some funny stories to tell.

Let me end by saying that I do excuse myself from the setting, and walk away, if I am seized by flatulence. But I guess my girlfriend was ahead of her time.

BTW-- (this is directed to my old girlfriend) if you do read this article please send me an email (info@moonlightwealth.com) or visit my blog. It would be great to hear from you.

I would also love to know if my readers have had any similar experiences with dates and flatulence?
