From the emails I received, all of you wanted to know one thing: did I? Or didn't I? A true lady doesn't kiss and tell, and (get ready for it) what happens in Vegas, stays there. But, I can't leave you hanging, so here is what I will tell you. Brace yourself because it's not what you think.

When we arrived at our hotel in Vegas, we didn't exactly get our weekend off to a fun start. There was a plumbing problem in an adjacent suite (foul) which forced us to go downstairs to gamble. The night was young, so we didn't mind.

Turns out, “Straight Edge” Matt was, in fact, a Vegas regular. He knew many of the Vegas "casino hosts" by first name. As I felt my B.B.S. (Bad Boy Syndrome) kick in, I calmed myself down and realized I couldn't be mad at Matt for being a friend of the ladies. This means he's a nice guy, right?

After several games of blackjack, Matt asked if we should go to the room to turn in because he has an early morning of seminars.

This was the moment of truth. We got up to the room, and after a G-rated make out session, Matt asked what I wanted to do. What did he mean? In my best effort to avoid the real question, I told Matt that we should watch a movie and cuddle. Cute, right? Apparently not.

"You think I invited you to Vegas to watch a movie and cuddle?"

THIS was the moment of truth. What happened to that college-football-loving-straight-edged-guy who I met at the mall? What happened to that guy who left me flowers?

"Um, yes." I was baffled.

"Well, you're wrong! What the hell is wrong with you? Are you a f'in prude?"

This was really happening. As guy crazy as I am, I do not tolerate crazy guys or guys (or anyone for that matter) who try to pressure people into anything.

Thankfully, I packed light (everything happens for a reason) and I was able to escape from the stinky suite without incident.

After playing some slots, I caught a cab to the airport. Thankfully, flying out of Vegas at 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday is relatively easy, and I was back in the comfort of my bed by 9:00 a.m.
