What advice would you give? Read my "Dear Michelle" email:

I don't want to embarrass anyone, so I won't name names... but I just thought this was so adorable and was touched someone asked me for advice!

When I walked off set Thursday, I received this email. 

I took out some of the email's details for brevity and anonymity.  Tell me if I gave good (or bad) advice!  And what would you say??  Comment below or tell me on Facebook:

Dear Michelle,

My name is (****) and I really enjoy your reporting.  I thought you might be a good person to turn to for advice since you seem very sensible and sophisticated. 

I met a really attractive and intelligent woman a few weeks ago.  We had been talking for about a half hour and really developed a great rapport.  We had even made tentative plans to meet for coffee sometime. 

Then, things suddenly went downhill. There was a pause in the conversation and I commented that she had a “really nice, hourglass figure”.  I thought she would take it as a compliment but instead she became deeply offended.  She said, "Excuse me?  Why are you talking about my figure?  You hardly know me."  I went into damage control mode and tried to clarify my comments but I think I only exacerbated things as she rolled her eyes and shook her head.  She told me I was being "inappropriate" and that she was "very disappointed" and started to walk away....then she came back and with a look of complete disgust, WHAP!, she slapped my face and departed. 

 As I stood there alone rubbing my cheek, I was trying to figure out why she was so upset.  Should I send her an apology note or do you think she wants no further contact?

DEAR ANONYMOUS:

Thank you for the nice comments…

Now, I’m not a professional advice-giver, but if you know the girl, then you should definitely just send her an apology!  Sometimes people don’t like to be told they’re anything BUT skinny… so, how could you have known?  At the same time, I think a slap in the face was a bit extreme!! 

If you want to pursue it, then try one more time.  But honestly, do you think you’d want to be with someone who slapped you?  I guess if you guys get married then you’ll have a good story to tell your kids… but in reality, you may be better off without any extra drama.

But then again, you’re talking to an old, married lady.  The only drama I get is from my Korean soap operas.
Michelle
