That being said, I was faced with an awkward situation that just made me laugh, and Curtis as well.
Yesterday I walked into church about 15 minutes early. There was a a decent amount of people in the chapel, but few enough that it was still really quiet. I walked in and the first guy I saw was a really nice guy, who says hi and likes to chat with everyone. Really sweet. He's a little bit challenged, so he doesn't always follow social rules. Our conversation went like this.
Him: Hi Rachel.
Me: (Trying to speak a little softer, as we're in the chapel.) Hey (name) how are you?
Him: Good. Hey, are you and Curtis still together?
(Keep in mind how quiet the chapel is, and note my friend is talking loudly enough for everyone to hear.)
Me: Oh, um, well, he's in Kansas City now...soo.....we're really good friends.
Him: Oh, well did you even discuss it? Because I mean, you guys were a really great couple.
Me: Uhh, yeah, he's a really great guy. Have a great day. (Que my beeline to my pew.)
These are the moments that just make me laugh.

I think that conversation would have made my armpits sweat (they do that when I get nervous or embarrassed). I think you should have made up a really juicy story to tell him!!
Hey, funny story, sorry I am one of those people asking you about boys and stuff!! I noticed you read The Secret Life of Bees...I am about to suggest it as the next book for the book club I am in at church...does it have anything I would be embarrassed about meaning I haven't read it and that would stink if I suggest it and then it has all this inappropriate stuff in it...Anyway, just curious, thanks!!
Oh, how I DON'T miss being in a singles ward for just that reason.
