God damnit, I just messed up, didn't I?

[Faladorian]

Coming off as desperate to the girl I fell in love with, she has a boyfriend now that is not me.

Man, that's rough. I've got roughly the same thing going on except i never really had a window where she wasn't single

If I could buy you a drink, I would man. Hear, hear.

OT: Maybe, maybe not. You just have to wait. I often get the wrong impression, but trust me, it can be very wrong.

Take, for example, my ex-girlfriend. She gave me mononucleosis, then while I was sick she decided I wasn't paying enough attention to her (anybody who has had mono is probably laughing at this point) and so she goes and tells all of her friends (that were my friends, also, but no longer) that I was being a jerk and ignoring her. This could be a possible assumption if I hadn't told her, several times, verbatim, "I am not ignoring you."

She's a total psycho, but it's still an applicable example. Don't assume tragedy right away, and don't act on impulse.

God, I've got one. I used to go to one of those repressed little Lutheran school. Now, I was mostly a good kid, but hey, even when I was 12 I had a cruel wit. One day I casually insinuated that a girl might have had certain oral relations with a guy. The girl laughed, everyone else laughed, everything seemed good. I figured "hey, everyone always makes jokes like this."


Later that day, I get a call. "Excuse me is this the parents of _____? Your son is expelled for unwanted sexual passes at a girl."

Ya, that pretty much sent me doing back-flips into probably the most intense depression of my entire life. God, I was just a kid. Seriously, fuck Lutheran schools.

Try every other post I make. Here at least I can go back and edit them.
Also the dialog wheel in Mass Effect. Most of the time it doesn't really effect the story or my morality score, but I still feel like an ass when I say things I didn't mean to. I used have A LOT of trouble talking to people in real life, so when I chose the 'wrong' dialog option, It feels like i'm relapsing. And that SUCKS!

Haha I hated it when on second/third playthroughs, I'd start skipping conversations but inevitably hit the dialog choices and choose the wrong ones due to me skipping half the conversation. DERP

I honestly think it would have been worse if you said have a nice ride or something along those lines.

Ideally I should have said "have a night evening", and just, yknow. Avoided the subject of legs.

Lmao wow. Sounds like you had quite the loving girlfriend...

And thanks! The last part was definitely a nice addition.

Things not hitting the fan comes easy to me

I was born Aspy which is mostly a social disorder. However, through numerous years of soul searching I have come up with the answer: Do the opposite of what you'd normally say.

Never be serious except when a friend is depressed (And they'll think you all the better for changing so amazingly and suddenly in their time of need). Never insult ANYONE, no matter how small, no matter what they do. Never hold any grudges, no matter how petty, tiny or insignificant, no matter how large or obstinate (With exceptions made, of course, to physical threats and violence). Always crack dumb jokes, never stop smiling and be extremely overly flirtatious with the ladies .

This has ended up for me with countless friends, 2 great jobs one after another and the hottest girlfriend in the school...

May not help you, but hey, I had to overcome a mental condition to be who I am today. Don't let a single fuck up with a girl ruin this for you. THe more you worry, the more likely you are to get worse, not better. But that doesn't neccasarily mean forget the mistakes you made either.

I hope this helps someone, somewhere, be a little happier

This isnt a funny story, it's actually quite sad. it's literally only been a day dude. Calm the fuck down, it's just a girl.

Err...Okay? Thanks?

I honestly don't think you came across as being overly desperate about the situation (or desperate at all). I don't know what everyone else's problem is.

OT:

Coming off as desperate to the girl I fell in love with

This right fucking here. There's a lot of pressure not to fuck up when you're talking to someone you like, and it's easy to come off as desperate if you want to get across to them the fact that you like them, whether you are or not. I certainly did =(

Thanks. Didn't think I was going overboard either myself. Just gotta keep busy to pass the time, that's all!

With that, I'm off to bed. Work in the morning. Take care escapists!

Any time I also have some other examples, more recent ones, that are congruous to your situation. This girl I'm into right now, if she doesn't text me back or tries to end a conversation, I go into super depression mode (yes, I'm a hopeless romantic). I start drinking and blasting my music. Three hours later she texts me back "Sorry, I didn't get your text." At this point I feel like a total idiot, because I made the assumption that she thought negatively of me, and then later pursued behavior that would warrant her disapproval, thereby justifying the negative feelings towards me that were imaginary before, but wouldn't be if she saw how I acted on the assumption.

Let me be an example of why not to be like me

EDIT: Not looking for advice by the way! Just asking for other funny stories.

I think it would have turned out better if you had put on some pants dammit!

I think you may be panicking. Give it a day or two then try again. You may hear from her again before then and if you don't, you kind of figure that you missed your chance but if you try again the worst she can say is no.

Fake Edit: Giving advice anyway, remember secretive me, I don't share stories. Silly Pandah.

 

[Drakmeire]

My girlfriend told me she loved me for the first time and I said "Awww thanks, I love me too" long story short, we are no longer together.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

We've all done it before...We we're feeling on top of our game, and then for WHATEVER REASON, shit just hit the god damn fan.

Mine just happened yesterday. I smooth talked a girl into giving me her number the day prior, a rather cute girl to be honest, someone I definitely am attracted to. A great turn of events for an overall great night.

So, yesterday(which would be the next day on my timeline), I gave her a call in the evening. She didn't pick up, so I left a message asking if she'd be down for getting some coffee or a bite to eat. One minute afterwards, my father calls up and asks how everything is going, but I hear someone trying to beep in. I finish up my conversation with my father shortly after, and see her number as the missed call. Now, I was worried that I didn't hear her number properly, so I just decided to call back and made a little joke about playing phone tag (she didn't pick up, this was a voicemail), and then she didn't call back for another half hour or so. So, I texted the number to make sure it was actually the right one and she responded and we spoke for a bit and she said she'd talk to me later. Now, a whole day passes and still no contact.

I'm a sad panda because I feel like I came off really desperate and just blah.

So what are your stories of that horrible feeling of "MAN, I JUST FUCKED THAT UP, DIDN'T I?!"

EDIT: Not looking for advice by the way! Just asking for other funny stories.

It's funny because you spelt dammit [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dammit] wrong. But seriously, I don't fcuk things u- Shit.

In High School Chemistry:

Test 2: 5%
Quiz 5: 88%...

Yeah, I still don't know what the hell happened. All I know is that stoichiometry can burn and I wouldn't feel particularly sad.

I bumped into a woman in a store.
I wasn't paying attention and said "Oh, sorry sir."
That ended with me trying to say sorry, but how do you apologize for that? "You look like a man."

Once I herped so hard that I derped.

Seriously though, you'll be fine.

I failed badly with a guy I fell pretty hard for. This is primarily because I can't read body language to save my own life.

The first was, what I have come to know as, the old 'my hands are cold' trick. I genuinely thought his hands were cold. They were, obviously, not, so I let them go. This act alone earned me a smack to the back of the head.

The second was when - while drunk - I kissed my fingers and pressed them to his forehead, which he reacted to by touching his forehead and bringing his hands to his heart. Again, let that slip.

Then we get to us both sprawled in the hallway, watching The Beards on Youtube, with his arm around my waist and a leg each entangled. Again, missed that (I KNOW! I KNOW!).

Then the piece de resistance. When I bought him junk food, he says "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach". My insane response? My COMPLETELY mad, delusional response? "Actually, if you have a sharp enough scalpel, you could probably cut open the chest, prise open the rib cage and get in that way."

Yeah. I suck at dealing with boys.

I would have said that I only saw her out of the corner of my eye. Most people are understanding about that.

OT: I've been doing extremely poorly in French this year, with the majority of my quizzes and tests being 70% or below.
