Woops! that was dumb!

[MR.PIXIE]

Ok, i was at a school dance the other day.
I bump into this girl who's prety hot.
so, i want to start a conversation, i notice she is wearing a diamond necklace. I point and say... oh lord:smallsigh: ... i say ''Are those real?!??''
It took me a while to realise why she had a mix of these faces
:smalleek: :smallyuk: :smallannoyed: :smalleek:
she looked like she was about to cry so i say '' Im sorry,i was talking about your(shouldn't have said that) diamonds'' she storms off saying '':smallfrown: Im not stupid!!''
I felt realy bad.

[RandomLogic]

You sir, get the smooth operator of the day award. Congrats!

Edit: I just thought of the dumbest/awkwardest thing I've said to a woman in recent memory. A friend and I were at a bar just shooting the stuff because it was after graduation. So I've been getting shot down by every woman I've talked to all night, but who cares I'm having fun. So we decide to pick the two single women in the bar who are decent looking. Blah blah blah some conversation later, they are both 35-40.... my friend and I are 22 at the time. One was in some long term relationship and the other had a daughter we should have been hitting on. It was just the weirdest thing because they both didn't look anywhere near that old.. It really ruins a conversation when you bring up your daughter and or boyfriend.... Just quite an odd experience. You have me beat though for making her cry! ;)

I would have offered her a ice pack. You'll seem like an 'ice fellow and you also get coolness factor added in there, next time you would have seen her after, water you know, she would have melted at the sight of you.

Although your actual plan of attack was pretty good as well.

I don't quite understand what plan of action you're trying to illustrate here. are you saying that he should have offered her an ice pack to keep her cool and then she'll melt if she doesn't have one?

Wow. :smalleek:

I think it wouldn't have been so bad if you didn't clarify that you were talking about the diamonds. I mean sure it still could have been awkward but not as much.

[Magnor Criol]

No, he was trying (and succeeding) to make a chillingly quality series of puns. Clearly, he's a cold-hearted punster, and that's no snow job.

(I regret that my series of puns doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell next to his, but unfortunately he already used most of the good ones.)

[Brickwall]

So there is actually a situation that is LESS awkward if you find yourself speechless and try to mime everything. Good to know.

try hitting on a blonde girl only to find yourself stalked groped by the drunk mother she's brought along to try and forget the recent death of her father (and of course the drunken lady's husband)..picture all of this in the marina bar of a rainy Scottish Sunday afternoon, and you'll be surprised I haven't fallen into deep depression

[Project_Mayhem]

Ouch. As a man who frequently digs his own grave where girls are concerned I feel for you. Sounds a bit like the David Brent moment from the Office christmass special - 'Can we stop talking about my dead mother's breasts?'

wow

If you still want a chance with her, find her an apologize to her and ask to make it up by taking her out to dinner or something.

*slow clap*

Not that I haven't done similar, but then I'd probably slowclap myself as well.

[dehro]

on a lighter note, am I the only one who has made the connection between this topic and the tv show that is nor running in england, "the big bang theory"?

[DraPrime]

I'm teaching a class about "What not to say to girls." Would you mind speaking to the students?

I have what you SHOULD say to a girl: "Hi, would you mind if I sat here while you talk to me about your feelings and I ask you about your day?"

:smallyuk:

[Pepz]

I'm sorry but I loved that ;) next time it'll go better with the smooth talk :)

Aha! I just thought of how you can make this work for you. When you see her next apologize and ask if you can do something to make it up to her. Dinner perhaps? or a movie or or or .... you get the picture?! Yeah! Good man... but make sure to keep it simple, its not like you are dating already or you killed her dog.

[reorith]

wow

If you still want a chance with her, find her an apologize to her and ask to make it up by taking her out to dinner or something.

i disagree

if you still want a chance with her, build a time mamchine, go back to a couple minutes before the awkward moment, sam fisher yourself and then retake your position, this time saying "did you feel robert a. heinlein espouses certain fascist ideals within his book starship troopers?"

you can also act as if you have an evil twin who is out to destroy your reputation.

[Serpentine]

Honestly? I don't get it :smallconfused: You said something that rather humorously was taken to be referring to something else. It was an innocent mistake and, as I said, a funny one. Why would she start crying and that? :smallconfused:

[Hell Puppi]

Perhaps she's sensitive...about her...girly bits.

Reminds me of the series Coupling, where one of the main characters was horribly bad at talking to girls.
"At least you didn't accidentally tell her you collected ears in a bucket or that you're missing one leg."

[Vuzzmop]

*slow clap*

Not that I haven't done similar, but then I'd probably slowclap myself as well.

"Seconds the slow clap, calling to the rest of audience to clap as well, like in every single terrible teen romance movie."

Oh dude :smallbiggrin: thats classic. Totally worth it, man.

Actually, I interpret it as meaning that she took offence at being asked whether the necklace was real, and knew that that was what he was asking. The fact he thought she might have thought he was asking a different question simply compounded the offence.

[Last_resort_33]

No... I don't get it either.... how the hell am I married?

[Fri]

simply put: don't ask a girl you have just met whether her diamond is real or not

[Cobra_Ikari]

No... I don't get it either.... how the hell am I married?

...because your girl is awesome? *nods*

...I...don't really see that as a cryworthy offense, but I know girls who would have slapped/glared you to death over it...

...but yes, maybe apologize-like? Somehow?

[Phase]

Try to apoligize, if you're sincere, and she doesn't forgive you, she's not worth it...

[Pinnacle]

Actually, I interpret it as meaning that she took offence at being asked whether the necklace was real, and knew that that was what he was asking. The fact he thought she might have thought he was asking a different question simply compounded the offence.

Judging from the "I'm not stupid!" response, I don't think she believed him when he said he meant the diamonds.

[Tom_Violence]

At the risk of sounding crude, did she at least have big knockers? Otherwise, it does seem like a rather extreme reaction.

"I've got too many legs!"

[Jae]

HAHAHAHAHA

Dude. that is priceless. seriously. I'd be telling that story to EVERYBODY.

At least it was an accident, though. I once told a guy I'd like to make out with his hair. one of those times where I said my thought out loud. did..not...go well. hahah. If he still goes to my school I havent seen him :smallbiggrin:

And yeah ask her out!! haha frealzzz. Every real relationship I know started off with something super quirky like that..a horrid misunderstanding, worst first date ever, etc. heh plus imagine you guys get together and that is the story of your guys' meeting.

it'll be incredible

@V:He had REALLY REALLY NICE HAIR!
Lets put it down to "im original (wierd)" and leave it at that, shall we? :smallamused:

[Cobra_Ikari]

I once told a guy I'd like to make out with his hair.

...wait...what? :smallconfused:

EDIT@^: Generally, I call that "quirky" or "interesting". Weird people are awesome.

[Ego Slayer]

...wait...what? :smallconfused:
I'd do it. :smallbiggrin: Hair is nice.

^^: SEE! How could you resist really really nice hair! :smalltongue:

[Em Blackleaf]

Hahaha. That's really funny. Her reaction was over-dramatic, I would probably just laugh if that happened to me..

I once told a guy I'd like to make out with his hair.
... I've actually said that to a guy before... :smalleek:
That's weird.

[Cobra_Ikari]

...you girls are weird.

...*starts growing his hair out*... >.>

[Ego Slayer]

...*starts growing his hair out*... >.>
*pats on the head* Good, good.
Yeah... we are weird. But you love us anyway. :3

[GrassyGnoll]

What a horrible conundrum. Either she'll think you're a misogynist or gay. Or in the worst case both.

*Why does that only seem to fit for lesbians?*

A friend of mine had a similar situation when a girl showed him her throng. My immediate thought was that she thought he was gay (the hair do kind of has that effect), but it turned out she was just... socially generous.

[zeratul]

Don't feel bad man, that is awesome. I feel there are two ways to go with that, either say" I meant the diamonds!" as you said or continue to say "Because they look like they're sculpted by angels:smallwink: ."

Zer could get himself out of the situation just fine huh? :smalltongue:
Granted, I'd probably slap him for that, but... ^_~


OYFG
Hahaha! :smallbiggrin:
You get a *hug* for that, since I wasn't sure whether anyone would actually end up using it.

[zeratul]

Yeah feel free to use that one cobra. After about 50 slaps to the face you won't even feel it anymore :smalltongue:

I don't.

Wait, you were referring to yourself when you said "us", right? Like a hivemind?

[Szilard]

I thought it was girls in general that was talked about in that quote.

[Pyro]

Ouch, thats harsh...
Well at least it was slightly entertaining. :smalltongue:

[Lyesmith]

..People have said they wanted to make out with my hair before.
So other people do it!
And to be honest, i have got fantastic hair.:smallwink:

[Cobra_Ikari]

...there's just not very much of it, due to military restrictions on hair length and all.

...also, Pixie, are you going to give us an update on how things went with any attempts to make things up to her?

[SoD]

...heh. That gave me the best laugh I've had all day!

''I've got the keys to the doors of heaven...BUT I'VE GOT TOO MANY LEGS!''

''Oh, I was just telling her how I collect womens ears in a bucket.''

''I'm full of sperm!''

Gotta love Coupling.

[Nightwing]

Never ask a girl if the diamonds she is wearing are relay. I'm not a girl but I would have still slapped you across the face. same with earing's.

[Ego Slayer]

I don't.

Wait, you were referring to yourself when you said "us", right? Like a hivemind?
Liar, yes you do.

I was talking to Cobra. I was referring to Em, Jae and myself. Pay attention. *thwacks with a ruler*



...there's just not very much of it, due to military restrictions on hair length and all.
I always knew the military was up to no good. :smallwink:

[FdL]

It really ruins a conversation when you bring up your daughter and or boyfriend....

I agree...It's appalling when you're talking to a nice girl you've just met and she makes a passing remark about "his boyfriend". It's like there's a cut in the conversation after that v.v

[Cobra_Ikari]

*hugs Ego*...aww, look at you, makin' me feel all cheery and such. Bad form, you know. :smallsmile:

[Aereshaa_the_2nd]

We have a hivemind!!:smallamused:

That said, we think that's funny, but kinda stupid, we mean couldn't you have said, "Are those diamonds?"?

[Jagg]

Ha HA HAAR

Ok I know it's not nice to laugh at another's pain...I couldn't help it.

What would I do in this circumstance????


To the OP Hmmm. I'd write her a letter and slip it into her locker. Mention the following.

1) I get tounge tied when you are around and I made a mess of things.
2) I was trying to find an excuse to talk to you and picked something that I thought made you look very nice and it backfired.
3) I'm REALLY sorry I made you cry and would like to make it up to you.
4) Feel free to call me an insensitive jerk if it makes you feel better and gets you talking to me.

C'mon girls help him out, what would you write in the letter?

[TheDrone]

Dude you are so in. You gotta find her again.

[MR.PIXIE]

wow

If you still want a chance with her, find her an apologize to her and ask to make it up by taking her out to dinner or something.

Nope.tried it, I got the boyfriend:smalleek: !big tall guy with massive fists, threw me in a trash can and dumped smoothy all over me.
it took days to get that smell out of my hair:smallyuk:

Does it make it worse that she has big boobs.
she must of thought that i was talking about them.:smallredface:

like this.
