Facepalm moments

    I was stalking someone on boards and followed them into the TGC thread on whether guys like to be asked out. A decent number of posters claimed not to know whether they were being asked out on a date unless the girl/guy came right out and said it was a date. It made me think- have any of you had any proper facepalm moments at your reactions or lack thereof after being asked out or propositioned?

    Mine: This guy I kind of liked and I went out for drinks with friends. Being that he was 19 to my 24, I automatically friend zoned him. Long story short, we had a fun night and he asked if he could come back to my house as the night was winding down because he couldn't go home (he had a curfew). I had two beds in my room so I said okay. When we got home, I showed him his bed and got ready for bed. A few minutes after we were all tucked in, he says, 'My bed is too big.' I got confused because I had given him the guest bed which was waaay smaller than mine so I chalked it down to his limited English (he is German) and told him we could switch if he wanted. Silence. Then he said, 'never mind.'

    The next morning as we were having breakfast, I asked him if he had slept well and he looked at me like I was crazy. I figured it out a few days later.

    I was eating fruit one day and my friend asked me was I eating an orange. It was a tangerine and he thought it was an orange, a bloody orange Hahahaha. He was mortified I'd say.

    Same room. I had two beds in my room. Maybe he did, I was out for the count a few minutes after our little exchange. :)

    You're not a real person. Mike Myers could not write a character like this.


    You're a stalker. You don't understand sexual advances. You claim to be in your 20s.




    Fcuk. You're my ex.

    Somebody said to me that if my hand is bigger than my face, I have cancer. So I put my hand up to my face....

    Someone once told me that if I said 'orange' very, very slowly then it would sound like 'gullible'. I proceeded to try this not once, but twice. No one else has ever fallen for it.

    There should be a storytelling section of AH.

    This wasn't a topic for a thread, just an excuse for the OP to spout on about some fella who was looking to feed the donkey. :P
