Survey says: Funny

Well, the general consensus of the people who commented on that last blog post about the guy who gave me a wet willy seems to be that you personally would be grossed out if a stranger gave you a wet willy, but that since he was only flirting, if this guy asks me out I should go.

Truthfully, at this point I'm still in the "grossed out and horrified" category, but I can see how this will be funny given time; sort of along the same lines as my being able to laugh at the guy who inexplicably gave me a noogie on our first date.

I think what bothered me the most wasn't the wet willy itself. Although gross, I did kind of start that. No, what bothered me is that he did it when my back was turned. I didn't get a chance to try to defend myself and be part of the joke. Instead of being a part of a flirty interaction, I felt attacked, violated, and disrespected by a strange guy who not only invaded my personal space, but then treated me like the wet blanket when I didn't immediately think the whole thing was hilarious.

Frankly, I'll be surprised if he does ask me out. And that's okay. It's just a shame this all happened before I really got to know him.

*Sigh.* My sense of humor never has encompassed gross-out humor...

Oh, and I agree with Kristen, who said probably the only acceptable time to give a wet willy to another adult is if the other adult is a significant other.

Thanks for loving me even if I am a wet blanket sometimes!
