I think the 22 and 3/4 years leading up to G and me were filled with more dysfunctional dates and relationships than many people encounter in their entire lives. Maybe I'm exaggerating just a tad, but mostly I am being gravely serious. In retrospect such dating debacles now seem quite entertaining, because now I am happily retired from the disaster that is the dating world.
Which is why I can share this snippet of a story and no longer cringe.
A few years back I was dating a guy who was nice but was a really slobbery kisser. This bothered me for multiple reasons, and I finally (delicately) brought it up to him. His reply: "So you seriously don't like the sauce?"
[Um, ew. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit when you said that. And while we're mentioning it, no I don't, which is why I brought it up in the first place. But thanks for making a potentially awkward conversation even more awkward and slightly creepy. Why exactly are we still dating?] = what I was thinking/should have said if I was totally mean
Needless to say, we didn't last very long. (Thank heaven.)

Lauren, I am so glad you found "the Gregory" You are the best and deserve nothing but the best. I am also glad you are able to laugh about "those times" securely.
The sauce?! Oh, I just threw up too...sick.
I dated someone who was also a um, wet kisser. Ugh. One of the many instances where the grass is definitely NOT greener...
