Alexandra McHale: Not a Compliment

I started dating this guy that I’ve known for a long time, and I thought, ‘Oh, this’ll be so great, we’ve been friends for a while,’ until he gave me what he thought was a compliment. He said, ‘Even though you used to be wafer thin and you’re not anymore, I’m still just as attracted to you.’ Oh yeah, he’s a real smooth talker. So naturally, I’m upset about this. I call my best friend Carla, and she goes, ‘You know what — that is such crap because, first of all, you have never been wafer thin.’
