How would have handled this situation? See inside.

I was 19, she was 17. She was a girl that lived the next street over and I knew her from high school. I finally asked her for a first date. It was summertime in Tennessee and the humidity was higher than the temperature.

I arrived to pick her up at about 7 pm. We were going out to eat first and then to a late movie. Everything was going great, until she sat down in my car and I closed the doors. She, apparently had forgotten to put on deodorant and nervous sweat is the worst sweat of all. I kept the windows rolled down in my car most of the night. I had to. The smell of bo was making me sick.

After dinner, I made an excuse of a headache, to avoid the late movie and further torture. I took her home and never called her again. She married my best friend and they are very happy.

Question: did I handle this situation correctly or would you have handled in it a different manner? I heard she cried for two weeks and I am sorry, but I did not know what else to do. Okay, let me have it.
