What was your biggest dating or relationship goof?

[Chazmatazz269]

Maybe you used a bad pickup line, or called someone by the wrong name. Maybe you cooked a meal for someone and they had an allergic reaction to it. There are lots of ways to goof up, and sometimes those relationship dingers feel more significant than other faux pas. Tell us about the time you goofed up with someone who meant more to you than others and even if it didn’t cost you the connection, maybe you expected it would.

It appears that most people simply don’t understand this question.

It didn’t sink me, fortunately…but when I first met my girlfriend from high school, we both worked at a supermarket. She was tasked with standing outside one day to sell these fundraiser scratch tickets that were a Jimmy Fund donation and then you’d get some small coupon to use in-store when you scratched it off. I was inside working on stocking shelves or running a cash register, I forget.

Anyway, she just came up and threw game at me, haha, and she was very cute so I was all-in, I thought it must’ve been my lucky day. She told me she was going to be outside and that I should come and talk to her when it was time for my break. So I did, and while we spoke I hopped up and sat on one of the big stacks of unused shopping carts, where you push one into the next one and the back flap flips up to absorb the bulk of the next cart.

The manager knocked on the window to wave me back inside, so I was like “I gotta go, but I’ll talk to you later”, and I thought I was being wicked smooth, lmao. I went to shift myself to hop off the shopping cart stack. I was sitting on the first one in the row, and it wasn’t flush to a wall. When my weight shifted, the cart lurched forward, the back of the cart that was flipped up and was effectively serving as my seat fell into its intended place, causing a trap-door effect. I fall inside of the cart, and my weight tipped the cart over sideways, and I spilled out ass over teakettle😂😂😂 BRUTAL LOOK lmfao. Luckily she thought it was hilarious but I was mortified. Then later that day when I was leaving, I’m blaring my gangsta rap (I think it was Spice-1, so it was SUPER violent and gory), and I drove past her again and gave her the cool-guy deuces gesture. It turned out she didn’t recognize me, so she made kind of a face and didn’t respond otherwise, and I just felt low as hell when I left lmfao. She called me later that night and I realized it was all good and a misunderstanding, but I thought I fumbled the handoff for the rest of that afternoon.

My biggest Snafu was in Thailand. Fortunately, I ran into som expats. Women are beautiful and petite there…like you want to put in suitcase and bring back to America. Well, I met this one “lady” and “she” was very sweet and Asian model porcelain skin beautiful. “She” was in weddings and specifically did make-up mostly for the upper third in Thailand. “She” had portfolio on phone and things seemed to be moving along well. Turns out that “she” had male package 📦. Expats saved me and LMAO…. So, if they are exceptional, they are very likely to be carrying a male 📦. Live, Survive, and Learn 😎

I asked who that handsome guy and they assume I wanted to marry them. 🤣

[Avicenna]

Asking out a woman who turned out to be married (I had no idea)

[collie22]

i probably shouldn't kiss a girl in public :(

[maximumpower]

Marrying a hoarder who wouldn't work, wouldn't keep house clean, stole money and lied.

[VanguardTitan]

I'll let you know when I actually have someone like that.

I don't think I reflected enough on myself and expected to be understood.
