    You should go for it girl! Flaunt what you've got. Accept him up on his offer, but be upfront with him. If he tries to take you somewhere and he orders a beer, take a water. Or a diet drink (it doesn't hurt to have caffeine every ONCE in a while. xD ). If he tries to get you to drink a beer, just tell him truthfully - you can't, your diet won't permit it. He'll understand. Most people would. If he's familiar with Atkins himself, maybe that'll end up in him taking you somewhere where you can make atkins-friendly choices.

    Even if he says, "Shoot girl, you don't need to diet!" just tell him you know what your normal weight should be, and that 5 more pounds won't hurt. Be strong! Don't let a handsome face persuade you out of your last few pounds - but certainly don't give up the chance to go have fun!

    If a tree falls in a forest out of hearing range of any living organism, did it make a sound?

    If a person eats yummy stuff without counting the carbs, did it have carbs to begin with?

      I am totally understanding where you're coming from on this one. Here, let me make you feel better. At least you're so very close to goal and I'm guessing itty bitty by your weight!! I'm far off from goal and I'm totally gonna be the "still fat" girl who is ordering a salad and drinking water. How many comedians have had fun with that stereotype??!! There, do you feel better now? You should! LOL!

        If I could remember back that far, I would try to help you out! I haven't been on a date for over 20 years, and I haven't been asked out for over 15 years.

        Since you both go to a gym, you have every right to maintain that you only put into your body what you think is healthy. You could always go for coffee. Or, if at a bar, you could order club soda with a twist of lime.

        Ask to go somewhere fun, some kind of outdoor adventure. Go skating or hiking.
        People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

            ...Then again, you could always ask him out. Most guys don't mind it and this is the 21st century after all.

            Best o' luck.
