One of my very close friends has just had an experience where a guy that she is not interested in continues to try and win her heart by sending obscenely large bunches of flowers and poetry to her place of work.. she has told him that she is not interested, yet today he came in dressed in a suit and all and asked her out for dinner in front of her boss...she was SO embrassed, but still stuck to her guns and said no way jose...(kinda feel sorry for the bloke)
Have any of u peeps had any embrassing unrequited love stories? Done anything thoughtful only to have it bite you in the ass? Come on ...we can share, we're all family here.....

We kinda missed this one here. Is everyone getting shy?

Simple answer: Yes!!!

I mean, who hasn't. But I tend to be ultra sensitive & get the message fairly quick. I mean by the time Brad Pitt had a restraining order out against me it was absolutely clear to me that he wasn't interested. And, boy was I redfaced

Okay, yeah, I am shy too. But it is an excellent question which one day I may be game to answer

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

As above, who hasn't. Still u live and learn.....
I tend now to ask them straight up & if they're not interested I make good friends with them, show them what a cute, loveable & wonderful person I am, and when they fall for me I pick up the pieces or make as much a twat out of them as they did out of me - (depending on how it went) - *Hahaha - silent chuckle*. There are 2 girls I'm still waiting on (Been waiting for a while now 2), but I'll get there.......
Did chase a girl for 6 months once, who blatantly wasn't interested. In the end she made a right cu*t out of me in front of all my mates. Wouldn't do it again but I got my revenge back.
Bit of a weird one this, but I also had a stunning girl strip naked in my house once. I turned her down because I was in a relationship and she told her ex I tried to rape her. (Head case) - had to more or less kill him on my doorstep 2 days later to stop him doing me. (Surprised the hell out of me as he's a foot taller and wider than me, still it's amazing what you can do with the fear of pain running thru your head.)
At the end of the day, if you don't make a twat of yourself, you aint trying hard enough.......

we live with choices, to be sure.
at any point, inevitably, that choice often boils down to essentially:
--> to see with the eyes of fear
--> to see with the eyes of love
it is easy to pinpoint what reactions to the above situations either perspective will grant us.
it is with this thought that i ask, haw can a person be worthy of receiving compassion if they aren't giving it? ya can never have enuff affection!

than someone u didn't do"

LOL!

That "quote" is actually a line from the movie "Empire Records", which i have to admit, Bender has adapted pretty well

(i am still gonna slap you for changing it tho Bender..... grrrr)

There was a guy in grade nine at high school, who i had the HUGEST crush on, alas, my love was not recipricated, and i felt like a right idiot when i was caught staring at him in class one day by teacher....... Since then I have a personal policy a) dont stare at incredibly cute people... (just glance at them out of the corner of your eye) and b) know when to get lost, because im sure as embaressed at i was, that poor guy must have been even more embaressed than me......

Currently on the right side up of the world.

erm, yeah, i can be an idiot. And after a few bad expieriences i am very very cautious about hitting on guys, and i back off very very quickly. Sometimes it all goes right tho, y'know? Lol. Unfortunetly i've found myself interested in unavilible guys lately... ah well *shakes head*

I'm sure i'll make an ass out of myself soon enough. Teh good thing is when they are still nic eenough to be friends with you

Love it when people are understanding of stuff up & don't get freaked by it...

One thing I have noticed is that guys don't tend to mention if they are attached. Girls have a tendency to play the boyfriend card (you know, just casually mentioning in the middle of a conversation "my boyfriend,...") So you kinda get a surprise when you invite the object of your affections out for dinner, & they go "great, can I bring along my partner?"

A horrible and prevalent misconception is that some people are just shy.
/turns on megaphone
EVERYONE STARTS OFF SHY!
fuck man, don't you ever wonder about forward people? their difference?
there is none, being an authority on being a loud bastard, I have to tell yas that loud people are *just* as vulnerable!
The worst thing that could happen is that you could later regret inaction. that's the *worst*! having your heart broken (especially the first one *sigh*) IMHO is actually not as bad as living with 'what if?'

Just don't stay at home when you've got more life to live, hey?

(BTW.. I was too busy being impressed that there was a cranberry song in 'Empire Records' to remember any lines from it... (can you guess what my favourite band is??!?!)) the line itself was borne of a night with alotta cascade premium

In response to the general question...ever make an arse of yourself...
Everyday, my friend, everyday.

How about the things we do to get the attention of someone we would like to love, but accidentally goes awry? I have that alot.

For instance, 10th grade I asked a guy out, only to find out he had a girlfriend, standing next to him as I asked him (thought it was his sister or cousin..they never touched!)
11th grade I wore this really cute outfit one day to impress a guy, little flouncy skirt thing, wind whipped that sucker up...I am still not sure if he was impressed. I ran away too embarrassed to ever look him in the eyes again.
20 years old, sent a note to a guy once with a flower attached to his car. But it rained and the note ink ran all over the place so he never knew it was from me. He thought it was from another girl named Jenny. Last I knew they were still happily together and I felt like a putz.

Oh, can I share one about PWB? We met, I didn't like him, he stalked me and ended up changing my mind about him. Anyway, I invited him on this campout with a bunch of friends so that I could talk to him about maybe trying out the whole dating thing. Anyway, we get there and he starts chasing this friend of mine around, and ends up with her for a *really* short bit! And here I had told my friends I was going to talk with him! Then I sit there like a chump and listen to him go on and on about her, never telling him why I actually invited him on the trip until a year or so later.
It is still very humiliating to think on!
At least it worked out in the end.

I've never stalked anyone though.

My friend always told me that its not stalking if they dont know...lol
I relate to the feeling of making an arse of myself everyday Pele.... I wasnt going to tell the story but because you have bitten the bullet and been so honest... there was this time... at band camp..oh I regress
I was out shopping with this guy who I completely smitten with and had been for quite some time... we were pretty close... well he decides that he needs new jocks right? So we are in the underwear department and he is asking my opinion of which jocks to buy (cheeky grin) Im in heaven visualising him prancing around in jocks... and forgot to engage my brain before speaking as I pick up a packet that screams "KNEE HIGH SOCKS" and wonder out loud how high the socks go.... oh my god how shamefull... he of course laughs at my dumb ass and I blush bright red and mutter something about making the medication dosage much higher than normal...So we buy his jocks and start the mission back to my place.On the way back to the car I stop and buy a ciggarette holder because that night we are going to a Guys and Dolls gangster party,and I wanna look the part. Im thinking that Ill be a 'classy broad' and try out the holder while im driving, and in doing so about 1 min after lighting my ciggy I drop it and burn a hole into my pants right between my legs......
Well it was all over from there, hes in the passenger seat laughing so hard he is crying while im driving all over the road trying to find the cherry from the ciggy so it'll stop burning my dumb ass....
how embrassing.... he started calling me "hot lips houlihan" (sp) after that... wonder why....

well, the hand of fate can be unkind and possibly septic. The difference between makin an ass out of yourself and startin something beautiful like another 'golden age' in your life is as fine as a conviction unsaid or an a joke too far. tiny! so dun feel bad aboot it hey? it's good to see humour diminishing the sorrow.

Sweetheart, it could be the story you end up telling your grandchildren. Or it could be the story you end up telling your mates after a few beers when you really want a good laugh.

Either way, don't beat yourself up over it. & you got the sexiest nickname out of it

Its not just me then! The other silly things I've (aparently) done in my sleep or strange places I've woken up:
A) Stacked invisible cd's.
B) Subsequently had a conversation with formentioned invisible stack of cd's about my cd collection.
C) Woken up in the stil warm embers of a campfire
D) Pretended to sew a pair of trousers
E) Took a tent down, in the midlle of the night, in the middle of winter, in the middle of North Wales, whilst my freinds were still sleeping inside.
F Hit myself several times in the head with a cricket bat.

It's quite possible to have a conversation with me when I sleep, just dont really expect it to make any sense

* Fell out of bed and broke my arm...( I was on the top bunk) and only woke up when my Mum was trying to get me into the car to take me to the hospital.

While asleep, I said the following words to my mother:

"But you can't be my mother! You're beautiful!"

I have also peed in the living room (I was 8), I climbed a canopy bed and settled up top (amazing it didn't break....getting down when I woke was a great deal harder, I was 16.)

But the worst was when I was in college living in the same dorm for the second year, but in a different room. I got up and walked to my old room wearing nothing but my boxer shorts and opened the door (which the new occupant had unwittingly left off the latch) and tripped over the new occupant and his girlfriend who were on the floor...uh...studying anatomy. I woke up when I tripped.

Thank the lord that guy and I sort of knew each-other and could laugh about it over lunch a few days later.

spiral, at least your conversations dont make sense. when im asleep, ill answer sensibly, and brutally hoenstly. My parents worked this out when i was ten, and life's been an endless game of 'what do they know?' ever since.

ah. and meanwhile, back to original topic. so. my sometimes-casual-partner-ish thing, i mean guy, randomly asked me out week and a half ago. i changed the subject, but did organise to meet him on friday. he stood me up. And i magically transformed into a freaky stalker.
i turned up at his work, and yelled at him for standing me up. then four days later had a big attack of resentment and left an apology note in his letterbox.... when i write this down its no wonder he hasnt called me. damn.

Could be worse....

I cringe when I tell this one. When I was 18 I was seeing this older guy. It was a bad move from the start. He had split up with a fiancee of 4 years just before meeting me. She dumped him on the same day his mum died, as she was pregnant to another guy. He had issues. Like I said, bad move from the start.

We played this weird dance of affection. He would call and make attentive moves, but if I reciprocated he would freak out that I was in love with him & back off.

After we split, I promised him that we would always be friends, stupid promise to make. The reason why I made it was because I knew what a difficult time he had been through, & I still cared about him (but didn't want to be his gf). We had been gf & bf for about a year.

And the weird dance continued. He would call me out of the blue, (including once on valentines day), & I would be pleased to hear from him & suggest that we meet up for a coffee. I would call him back to arrange it, and he would either not be there & not return my calls, or would cancel at the last moment. Or he would call to suggest a coffee, & cancel at the last moment. I kept in touch with him because of the promise I had made. I kept thinking that friends were more important than getting huffy over a few cancelled coffees.

The clincher came about a year ago (four years after we first met) when i went through a really bad patch. I called on him for help because he wasn't in my immediate circle of friends & could give me unbiased advice. We arranged to meet, with me emphasising how upset I was and how much I needed help. He cancelled at the last minute, by email. I fired off a scorching reply and an email war ensued. Out of it came that he believed I couldn't possibly have problems that were worth getting upset about (I mean my mum hadn't died, my fiancee hadn't left me) and that with all the keeping in touch he thought of me as a major screwed up stalker

There are some promises which have a shelf life. Talk about making an arse outta yourself !!!

I wanted to bump this thread because I want to know how some of the newer members have shamed themselves out.,...

Ive done some new things... I just wanna share..
you know those tacky coffe machines that they have in the office etc? well...... I was very tired one particular day and forgot to put the cup there.... coffee everywhere and I had one big red face.


The funniest was when buddah our little kitten was in the naughty "play at night time" stage and one night in particular he was ultra quiet.... so I asked arsn "where is the kitten?" and he replys like this....(asleep mind you) "I dunno, internet?"
you know someone has Simpsons issues when they are quoting it in their sleep!!! eek


Not too mention the video Mum and Dad decided to show arsn of me at five with a mullet haircut (OH THE SHAME) singing bananas in pajamas, and bossing my brother around... redface
