I just idly checked my email sent items folder to realise I had sent a whole bunch of pages-long emails to a guy who I find turns me on so much it's not even funny. :O And oh, man, I sound like such a loon in them. :-o Oh, god, no...:doh: My writer friends are used to my tomes, I tend to work out my thoughts in emails. But this poor guy hardly knows me.
That made me wonder, am I the only one who sometimes goes, "Oh, shit, that must look really bad..."
So with a tip of the hat to the "It will be all right on the night, but it wasn't" thread, I want to hear the opposite side, of things you did while making overtures to someone you fancied which, in retrospect, you realised made you look like a psycho. :P
I'll start, and pray to god I'll still get laid after this confession. :scared: My usual thing when someone says "I'll you," is to think, okay, hun, I'll believe you when I see it, and no hard feelings if you don't. I've always taken this view, except on one occasion.
I went on a blind date (I was about eighteen), all went well and we had sex. The guy dropped me off and said: "I'll call you tomorrow." :bs:
"Yeah, sure, look forward to it." I shrugged and let it go. He didn't call, I moved on, except that a week or so later, the guy's best friend gave me his number.
I stared at the little piece of paper and for some inexplicable reason thought, "You lying bastard. :fury: I'm going to teach you a lesson."
So I called him. And called him. And called, and called and called. He still lived with his parents, I remember apologising to his sister for the inconvenience, explaining that I was perfectly aware her brother didn't want anything to do with me, but that I wanted him to tell me the truth. Eventually he had the guts to come to the phone and tell me straight that he wasn't interested. I said, "Thank you. That's all I wanted to hear." And never called again.
About three days later it sank in that I must have come across as a complete lunatic. :doh::doh::doh: Thank god I'm now on the other side of the world, I'd die of shame if I ever bumped into him.
So there, I bravely led the way. Who's next?
*sound of crickets in the silence*
:-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o
Maybe I should write another email apologising for the other emails... :giggle:
