writes:Embarrassing moment - This is not a cry for help - just wanting to know how to get over an embarrassing moment and avoid being a laughing stock.The thing is - when I was a teenager (a few years ago now) teenagers were'nt as aware of things as they are now. Anyway - I remember sharing a bed with a guy who came on to me when I wasn't ready(before I knew anything about sex) - but the embarrassing thing was I hadn't shaved my legs back then - and the guy thought I was some weird chic who never shaved!!The problem is I never worried at the time - but now I notice he is on facebook and I worry that he has told all his mates about me - what should I do?

i personally wouldnt be to concerned about it. hair is a natural part of the human body. if he is to be that shallow to remember and say something about it the he really doesnt have a life.

 You know, I went on a first date with a girl 30 years ago. Middle of winter. And discovered she didn't shave her armpits in the winter. OK, I was 18 and a bit put off. But I would never mention it to anyone now. It would make *me* look like an idiot -- for not having been mature enough to brush it off, and for not appreciating her perfectly good reasons for it (i.e. what's the point when you're under layers of clothing all winter).
For goodness sake don't worry about it.

 mmmm... men don't remember if you shaved your legs after 20 odd years, and if they do, who cares...
I'm your age, and if this is the most embarrasing thing you've ever done, your one lucky woman.

Realistically, I doubt he cares, and I doubt he said anything either. Chances are he doesn't even remember.

 This doesn't have to be an embarrassing moment unless you make it one. Lots of women don't shave their legs - it is no big deal. Even if he tells his mates that you are a hairy yeti, you just got to have a sense of humour about it...tell him that twenty years later he still isn't getting his chance to run his hands up your thicket! And if he is unable to realise the joke is on him...block him on facebook.

 Laugh about it and let it go. That was so many years ago, chances are that he may not even remember your hairy legs. And even if he does, so what? You're a grown-ass woman now and he can only embarrass you if you feel some sort of shame about having hairy legs.
If he does decide to embarrass you, "jokingly" remind him that he got rejected by a girl with hairy legs so that doesn't speak well to his seduction abilities.
