I Fail at Woman

So today I was once again reminded how forgettable I am and how much I fail at life. And once again it is to do with a girl... or lack of girl.

(I even gave her one of these premium mice)

I got a call from one of the employees saying that their mouse had gone faulty and they needed a replacement. She sounded familiar so I looked her up and saw that she was actually a girl I knew. She was actually the last girl I almost dated. I knew her sister and she introduced us and we hung out a couple of times and kind of hit it off but it never went any further than that.

That was something like 5 years ago and I have not had a girlfriend between then and now.

Anyway I remembered her and for some reason was sure she would remember me if she saw me, so I told her to drop by my desk with the faulty mouse and I will give her a new one (I even gave her one of the premium mice... it has more buttons and everything!).

So she comes past and I can immediately tell she has no idea who I am. So, being the idiot I am, I start with the "Hey, you look familiar" crap... she does not buy it and I can tell she is thinking I'm some douche trying to hit on her. She gives me the "Oh, you've probably just seen me around before or something" and tries to escape, but no! I can not let her get away now... not until she remembers me. Now I am determined to get her to remember me.
As she turns to run away from me I say "Hey wait a sec... what's your surname?" I immediately think 'why the fuck would she give me her surname, now she thinks I want to e-stalk her or something.' But by now she is a deer in the headlights and does not know what to do, so she tells me her surname and I say "Isn't your sister (insert sisters name here)?"
"... Um... Yes..."
"Oh yeah... I used to hang out with her... back in the day..."
"......"
"......"
>.>
<.<
And after a shitload of awkward silence and looking around at nothing she turns around and walks away, and I am left standing there, once again thinking about how much I fail at women.

Oh, and she clearly did not remember me after all that.

  1. ouch, at least she got a premium mouse... was this at work... This is what you should try to do. Break stuff on her computer everyday so she has to come and have you fix it, and try something new everyday until u get her attention

  3. "...Act like wherever you are IS the place to be."
    Smile and if you feel like you're getting a weird response from a girl, fuck it. When the a girl realizes you don't need their attention, they'll usually want it. Just smile and do your own thing (but don't be an asshole) and I can guarantee that you'll probably never hit another situation like that. Mind over matter, bro, mind over matter. Stay chill.

  7. @Cynthia - Because I fail at social interaction? I don't know... 99% of the time I have no idea why I do these things I do.

  8. Wow that blows man. I would give you a word because I usually do that regardless if someone asks for it or not, but hotfluffypancake said what I would've said. All I can say in good luck in future encounters bro.
