Question to Miss Everhard: Retrieving a Lost Prescription

Start

Dear Miss Everhard,

I recently had a one-night stand with a woman I met online, and I accidentally left my (nearly full) bottle of Viagra at her apartment. I thought about going on another date with her just to get the Viagra back, but I don’t want to give her the impression that I’m actually interested in her. Could I ask her to mail it to me?

You just found out the hard way why you should never travel with your entire supply of Viagra. Didn’t you learn anything from Rush Limbaugh’s example? I’m afraid you’re just going to have to let it go and consider this an expensive lesson. Get a refill and invest a few dollars in a pill case so you can carry just one or two pills at a time.

On the other hand, should the lady contact you in order to notify you that you left something behind, you may offer to meet her at a mutually convenient time and location. A neutral venue like a coffeeshop is best. Get the bottle back as soon as possible after greeting her. Let her know that you appreciate her returning it to you. Then tell her that while you enjoyed the evening that you spent with her, you feel that it would be best not to continue to be sexually involved, because you feel the two of you aren’t really compatible for dating. If she hasn’t already thrown her coffee in your face, this would be a good point to excuse yourself.

End
