8 ways to bugger up a relationship, before its even begun!

Yes tried and tested and unfortuately it has worked, this is going out to ladies so you can learn from my mistake.

1) slag off other girls infront of him
2) mention your looking for a boyfriend
3) drunken text him not once, but three consectutive wednesdays in a row
4) ring him five in the morning
5) ask him about other girls he likes (just to confuse him even more)
6)tell him its not going to happen over and over again (when dancing/kissing him so he feels brilliant)
7) let his best mate see you shopping with another man, thus him coming to his own conclusion
8)trip up not once but four times infront numerous amounts of his mates (i kid u not!!)

I think after doing these eight things it will be well and truly messed up, yes i should be shot I know. what have you done which is shame faced? hmm wonder why hes not replying to my texts...

Scroll to see replies

Haha oops.
Such is life I'm afraid, hun. The things we do to act all coy and myseterious that just make us look like complete idiots.

It may not be as bad as you think, at least you'll see the funny side eventually! x
Oh, and DONT send him any more texts. Just wait for his reply.. It will come eventually!

i'm sure there are more than 8 things yo ucan do to bugger up a relationship before it has begun.
also i'm sure most of those are common sense? i mean come on... if you ring anyone up at 5 in the morning i think they would get angry.

but saying that, thanks for giving us a laugh :biggrin:

maybe running them over.. poisoning them.. etc.
This is true, but you wouldn't be the first, or the last.

Can i ask, how did you trip up four times in what I'm guessing was a very short space of time??

Thats hilarious.. Ahh, what would we do without the numbing effects of alcohol??

1, 5 and 7 don't seem too bad.

In this area, I think I'm the expert. I can make a girl go from interested/attracted to totally weirded out, in just a few days.

I remember an episode of midsummer murders where a woman embalmed the body of her sisters dead husband and kept it locked up in a room because she loved him, that was weird and if you found out that woman did that then it would mess up any future relationships you might have, also she jumped out the window when people discovered what she had done so that would also mess things up a bit.

glad to entertain! only rang him that late because he had txted me at 3:30 and in my drunken(alcoholic me?) state thought he'd like to hear from me! he callled me babe when he answered and wasnt angry and txted the next day!
I do think that a few of the things you have listed aren't particularly bad, you may just be over-reacting to a few of the things you've done because you feel stupid. Theres not an awful lot wrong with sending drunken texts.. depending on the content of course, and slagging other girls off? As long as they're not his sister/mother/friends im not sure he'd give it a second thought, as long as you havent made yourself out to be really arrogant. And so what if you were shopping with a bloke? If hes the jelous type hes not worth the hassle anyway..

it was in a space of week and half, twice i fell off the stage (in club) third time running up the stairs at uni, and fourth time and probably the most embarrassing tripped up trying to hide/runaway from his friends
such is life, a 21year old should be more well balanced, think shows im getting too old!

agreed, in fact, 5 and 7 could even be used to your advantage!

he might just end up thinking you're a cute lil klutz, don't worry, you very well may not have screwed everything up :smile:. though, just a word of advice...don't dance on stages at clubs when you're drunk; falling off for the third time just might be enough to put him off :tongue:

Well I'd say 6 is probably the worst thing on that list. I don't think it's all lost. On my first date with peter I told him all about the time I saw a testicle being dissected and how cool it looks inside. Then a week later I cooked for him and I only had this really huge knife. Like comic proportions. He asked me what I needed a knife so big for and I glanced nonchalantly at him and said "carrots". I've never seen the blood drain out of a person's face so fast. Anyway, I'm sure you can make up for everything by just talking to him and explaining that you were such a ditz because you like him a lot.
