I was always pretty bad for this. A girl hits on me...or at least opens the window of opportunity, but I was too stupid to notice until a month or so later...."Hey....she was into me....DAWWWWWW!!!!!!"

My last year of university, I was complaining to one of the girls I was going to school with that I was having trouble with my computer. She immediately offered to come by to help me out. "Gee that's nice of her" I think to myself.

So later that afternoon we walk to my apartment....she's laughing at everything I say..."Gosh, she's in a good mood" I think to myself.

We get to my place, the computer is in my bedroom...looking back it could not have been more obvious what her intentions were. She did everything shy of stripping naked. But I was too wrapped up in fixing my computer....which also never happened.

Sufficed to say, an opportunity missed....and she was decently cute too.

Years later I have been made fun of for this. A lot of "What the hell was wrong with you dude?"

And alas, this was not an isolated case.

Yes. I am an idiot.

I was at a party and a girl I have never met before came up to me acting like we had known each other for years. She had some nice assets but a butter face and was clearly insane. As the night went on it was clear she wanted to take the next step in our nonexistant/fictional relationship, seeing as though I hadn't even figured out her name I thought it would be fun to seal the deal without ever knowing who she was.

After the party I went back to her place and thigs got kind of weird, cliches from bad movies. She locked me out into the hallway of her apartment while she 'put on something more comfortable'. When she let me in she was wearing some strange lingere with more accessories than came in a box of legos. As things moved on and onto the bed I notided her college diploma sitting on a shelf. I finally knew her name and it ruined everything for me so I just got up, dressed and walked down to the bar. To this day I have no clue who she was.

All my other blown opportunity stories are boring and usually are caused by me saying something sarcastic that is taken the wrong way.

Almost forgot. There was also this one time my freshman year I took this girl to her Sorority formal. Afterwards we went back to her room and at some point during the night I passed out while taking a dump in the womens bathroom. This was a girls dorm so all the bathrooms were womens. My date and her roomate had to put my pants back on me and drag me out of there. Seeing as though I didn't have swamp ass the next day I think I got a complimentary wipe or two out of the deal.:thumb:

I been married for eons so I'm out.

Last weekend, I did have a waitress decide to hit on me based solely on my owning a pair of Dragon Prog sunglasses. She was "eh whatever" when she took my order. (She was hot and I was checking her.) I get up to do something and I see her pick up the sunglasses and check them out. When I come back she's all "What's your name, do you live around here? You're cute."

I guess Dragon is a hot brand or whatever. I just bought em cause I liked em.

Also, if you want women to hit on you, get married. You'll be fighting them off. Blah.

A girl I went to high school with and I got a lot closer during college (were more acquaintances in high school), and eventually it went from friends to that weird more-than-friends stage. I realized soon after she was pretty much the female version of me, and could definitely see myself with her for a long time. But I, being the idiot I am, was afraid of something (don't know what to this day), and would never take it to the next level. It basically turned into a year-long struggle of where to go (she wanted a serious relationship, I was more into the fun stuff with no "obligations"), and eventually wound up with us not talking for over a year. She has since been with another guy for over a year, which I'm glad since she's happy and doesn't have to deal with my immature bull**** anymore. I'm now just trying to make things right and build up the friendship again, but it kills me knowing I missed a great opportunity to be with a great girl, all because of my stupidity.

Yeah I've got more than a few of those......where for some idiotic reason, I thought it was more important to get that zinger out there than to get laid....

I've always thought it was more important to stick to your principles. I messed up another opportunity once because my date wanted me to request that the DJ stop playing Pink Floyd and play a song from Grease instead. I refused, actually I started ranting and raving. Priciples

The summer after my freshman year of college I was living in Austin with a good friend of mine. One night his friend with benefits decides to bring two of her fairly attractive friends over for some drinks at my place. Things went off well and my only problem at the time was trying to decide when/if/how to choose between the two girls as they were both obviously interested. The night progressed and we were all getting pretty liquored up playing drinking games to 80s flicks when one of the girls asked about my long travel bike. Well, my friend was also a pretty decent rider at the time so we decided to take the bikes out and do some showboating. Long story short, I tried to gap a stair set outside the apartments with a half shell helmet on and bit it pretty hard, scraping up my cheek and jaw badly. After that everything went downhill and the girls all left. :imstupid:

Oh man. I got a friend back home who's kind of an academic, so he's constantly surrounded by younger women. And they always seem to be smokin' hot.

I must have met 3 different girls through this guy that were into me. Physical contact flirtation, innuendo, alcohol. The conditions were always just right. Apart from the fact that at the time, I was in a serious "relationship".

Idiot.

I was working as a sound man and the band had finished for the night, so I was breaking down the equipment. I was taking the mics off the drums and a chick came up to me and started talking to me like I was part of the band. She was kind of drunk, and I was busy, so I kind of blew her off. Later I noticed she latched onto the guitar player of the band.

Riding my bike around Red Square on the UW campus doing my best trials (wannabe) immitation on all the stairs, ledges and other obstacles; "urban" before it was "urban".
When I got to the top of the stairs in front of the library this cute girl started peppering me with questions. How did I learn to do that, all kinds of stuff about my bike. She seemed very impressed.
She looked like she was about 15 but I gave the benenfit of doubt as we were on a college campus. She started talking about wanting to learn how to ride a mt. bike if only she could find some one to teach her, and wanted to buy a bike if only she could find some one to help her pick one out, etc.
Short story long I gave her some sound advice about some local shops and where she could find people to ride with...
It only occurred to me later that she probably cared less about the bikes than me asking for her number.

Again riding my bike doing my best trials (wannabe) immitation but this time at Greenlake (at the time voted the top "pick-up" spot in Seattle).
This cute girl came out of the community center after playing basketball and was just watching me do my thing for a while. She had a low-end GT but it did have a (crappy) suspension fork.
When I stopped to take a break she came over and started talking to me. All I really remember was she was Beth(?), she just moved here from the east coast somewhere and she really wished she could find someone to show her around Seattle and take her to do some real mt. biking. She kept reiterating the last two points.
I gave her some sound advice about clubs that did rides and some local shops she could talk to about hooking up for rides, etc.
Even though the little voice in the back of my head kept saying "offer to show her around, ask for her # or offer her yours", the other voices in my head drowned that one out.
She finally just said, "well, I gotta' go" in a discusted manner and rode away...

This is a funny thread. I can just see the guys going "Aww, fsck!" later when they realize.

Sometimes the ladies got to lay it on a little thicker for us to get it. My buddy had a girl stop by his house to "hang out." They were sitting around and he went over to check his email real quick. Two minutes later she walked over and stuck her completely naked ass in his face. Now that's a hint.

if i told all of my stories then i would probably crash the server.

although one girl that i did hook up with in the fall was "together" with another girl at some point during the year. i think possibly making a girl switch teams is worse than not getting any in the first place.

To quote George Carlin.

Men are stupid and women are crazy. The only thing men are not stupid about is the fact that women are crazy, it is the only thing they are ever right about. Why are women crazy, because men are stupid.

No kidding.

The first time antimony came over, we were on my couch and she decided to pick up and start working on a wooden cube puzzle I had on the coffee table. I know I'm thick about picking up hints sometimes, but to me that says, "I'm bored and you aren't occupying me."

She later gave me crap for not making a move that night :rant:

I think splat wins the prize for fouling up the most obvious pickup attempt, though. Usually when a woman takes her top and offers a massage, I think it's important to make a concerted effort to stay awake :D

Sometimes that still doesn't do it...

When we were much younger (18-19) we would party/drink in parks, woods, parking lots, etc.
Me and the "easy" girl are the last two standing. She suggests we go sit in her car (70's Camaro) and get more comfortable. Its fall and little chilly so I think getting out of the weather would be delightful!
After sitting in there and making chit-chat for about five minutes she starts asking "what I would really like to be doing right now". I forget my asinine response but she countered with, "no, what would you REALLY like to do RIGHT NOW".
I knew what she was asking but just couldn't get myself to give the response she was looking for. Lucky for me what ever I said was close enough to indicate I wanted some and she was horny enough to not care that I was an idiot.
