Met this really attractive guy at the beach, we exchanged Instagram pages and talked via messenger on there eventually start talking via phone…etc.

On his page he had a few pictures of his dog it’s really beautiful and unique looking, I love dogs, my daughter is a dog walker, so I tell him “Hey my daughter walks dogs if you ever need anybody”. He really nicely says something along the lines of that’s really cool thanks for asking but I don’t use dog walkers cuz people always stop us (unique breed) and touch her.

My stupid brain decided this meant that if and when I ever met this dog I wasn’t to touch her. He did not mean that. He meant it would be annoying for the dog walker to handle the attention or that maybe he doesn’t like the risk of the dog biting a stranger. Who knows.

We plan a day date, a walk, he brings the dog, he asked me if I minded and I said of course not and I genuinely meant it I was excited to see the thing.

I was expecting the untouchable dog to know that it’s untouchable and stay away from me since it’s used to being untouchable.

Dogs love me, right away the dog wants pets and is very happy to meet me I’m holding my arms up IN THE AIR like a fuxng idiot to avoid the dog. I look at him to see if he’s proud of my technique he literally furrowed his brows and tilted his head and pulled the dog back and said “oh sorry about that”.

The walk was super awkward the dog really wanted to do dog things to and near me I figured my leg couldn’t touch it either I was like juking away from it.

Never heard from him again and was saaad. I didn’t contact him because saaaad.

A few weeks later I see him at the beach with his dog and he’s playing volleyball and his team mates are loving all up on the damn dog. He didn’t see me and I just kept walking saaad. I would love to say suddenly, but nope, LATER THAT NIGHT it hits me.

What he meant was!

Oh my heck this is bad. He thinks I hate dogs, he may have liked me until then and it’s ruined. I without even a breath to calm down call him he picks up I blurt out Hi so oh my God you know how on our walk I wasn’t touching your dog it’s cuz you told me people can’t touch her…remember, remember when I asked you if my dog could walk your daughter no no not that (I hear the cutest laugh then he stifles it) if my daughter could walk your dog and you said no because…..

Blah blah he goes “ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I thought you hated dogs or were really allergic or something”.

We had a pretty big laugh and I’m like Please tell me you didn’t tell anyone I hate dogs and he goes shit, I did.

We are still friends and I hug all up on the fancy mutt when I see them.

TL;DR I misunderstood a guy and thought his dog was untouchable and in my attempt to clarify called my daughter a dog and his dog my daughter.
