MIKolbe Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 have them put up the bumpers when you bowl. no gutter ball then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OraProMe Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ahhhhhhh no. I understand what you're going through but think about it this way; If they judge you because you can't bowl, because you're a little quiet or because you offer to help clean up despite not being very useful then don't you think that says a lot more about them than it does about you? I'm sure they wont do any of that though. It often turns out that we think about what other people think about us more than they think about it (try saying that three times really fast).

OraProMe Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Oh and the bowling thing smells of elderberries! My first date with this guy was bowling and I'd never done it before. Just laugh at yourself when you screw up and always keep a smile on your face, everyone loves a good loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Dear Maggie, I wish I was coming home for Thanksgiving so I could smack you upside the head. Bowling is FUN idjit.

rizz_loves_jesus Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Make fun of yourself! Don't act really self conscious about it. Just laugh at yourself and everyone will laugh with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 [quote name='Maggie' date='24 November 2009 - 07:28 PM' timestamp='1259108917' post='2008810'] I have thought about this. There will be a pause in the conversation and I will fluffy air extraction audibly and/or fragrantly instead of quietly and stink-lessly the way some people are able to. Probably right when I let the bowling ball go... pfffflaaaaaat.... (above post was from me, I don't know how my sister got signed on this compy since she is in DC and I am in OH) [/quote] Everybody fluffy air extractions, and everyone's fluffy air extractions stink from time to time. Everybody is terrible at one thing or another (or several things). If you are comfortable with your own foibles, then other people will be too. It sounds to me like if you marry this guy, you will end up bowling quite a bit ... so you better just work on being comfortable with being bad at bowling. If you're cool with it, chances are they will be too. If they aren't ... then maybe that is a sign of coming problems that you should take into consideration. You are evaluating them as much as they are evaluating you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think you could just be a little more mature about the situation and brave the challenges! See it as an adventure rather than a trip to hell. In some ways these experiences are what you make of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well, at least you will have something to do with your honey for years to come. They are probably all as good as they are going to get, but you will be able to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyP89 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 You worry too much, Maggie! It's a game! Some people stink at games. Trust me, it's not going to be like his family is going to watch you bowl and say, "God, she can't bowl. She's a horrible match for my son." And if they [i]do[/i], well. Y'all need to elope and move far, far away. Be honest about your skills. Laugh about it. Ask for bumpers!! And hey, if your sweetie is super good, why not use it as an opportunity for him to teach you? He gets to show you how to do something he really enjoys, it'll relax you, [i]and[/i] it'll show off your chemistry to his family. Win x3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggyie Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ha, I just spoke to lover boy about how I feel, and he made me feel so much better about it. "Bowling is for having fun, not for having nervous breakdowns, Maggie." hahahahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggyie Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Also he mentioned there is a bar at the bowling alley and if I want we can go early and have shots. That might make it better. Or will that make me pee my pants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
