Dealing with an Awkward Encounter: To Fess or Not to Fess?

[Crystal Patton]

OK at my show this afternoon one of the guests came in and I recognized (sp?) her as my High School Sweethearts Mom. This was over a decade ago so she didn't remember me. Do I mention it? She didn't like me when I dated her son (who is now married to his second wife and they have a daughter) and I broke up with him. He and I are on friendly terms now. But ... I don't know what she would say or if she would keep her order with me or ...
I just don't know.:yuck:
I DO know that she should hear it from me, maybe when I do the CC calls tomorrow?
What do you guys think? Should I just let it go?

If you are afraid that it would cause her to withdraw her order, I would just let it go.

 

[wadesgirl]

I wouldn't worry about it.

I would let sleeping dogs lie.

If she did not recognize you, and your name is different than when she knew you, let
it go. No need to bring up the past. What good will it do? It does not sound as tho
you will better your business by "confessing to know her". Hope she gave you a nice order.

Let it go - many people do not like those memories dredged up. Think about it - she might very well have recognized you and be thinking the very same things you are.

 

[Crystal Patton]

Thank you guys. I felt the same way as all of you, but I didn't want to be secretive. You thoughts have helped me to stand by my gut reaction.

BTY Her order was OK

I would just let it go.

Ditto here- if she does find out for some reason, just make it seem that you didn't recognize her either and didn't put 2 and 2 together with the name.
