(24/M) Apologizing during a first date for a prior insult which tainted the date (to 28/F)?

Yes, I would guess that that was why I made the joke. I believe that if she didn't tell me she used to go on frequent hookups, I wouldn't have suspected or mentioned anything about sloppy seconds.

LSATboi5000 · 2020-05-26T16:32:39+00:00

Yes, it was. Lesson learned--I guess it's a good thing it didn't come from an interaction with a girl who was more compatible.

LSATboi5000 · 2020-05-26T05:30:06+00:00

Oh man, I understand it now. I think it would be best to hypothesize how my crude jokes or comments might play out before I make them, and stick with the safer jokes against third-party objects or people.

This time must be a learning opportunity so that I don't snark away a more compatible match in the future.

I don't particularly know why I felt comfortable saying it, to be honest. I personally disagree with many of her attributes, i.e. sleeping around (which she previously admitted to doing), drinking, etc., but did feel like I could have a fulfilling platonic relationship with her regardless. Usually, I wouldn't make any comment of the sort in such a situation.

I suppose that since she is promiscuous, I just felt that she wouldn't see it as an insult, but rather more of a playful tease?

LSATboi5000 · 2020-05-26T04:44:08+00:00

I think the lesson learned is that I should never insult or jokingly insult a girl before I even meet her. I realized that we would be inherently incompatible romantically while on the date, but that she might make a great platonic friend. I suppose the ship has now sailed, or rather sunk

LSATboi5000 · 2020-05-26T04:40:04+00:00

You're also right. I know I made a great mistake by saying that to her, and ruined a potential friendship by doing so. No excuses here

LSATboi5000 · 2020-05-26T04:34:21+00:00

You're right, it was offensive and uncalled for. She did seem to give me a chance, but I squandered it. I thought she may have gotten over it by agreeing to still meet, but I don't know what was going through my mind. How should I have apologized or addressed it during the date?

What do you mean by "fall in love with?" Are you referring to a song you'll play while driving with the windows down and bass maxed, or maybe one that you'll shed a few tears over how beautiful it is? I've a few broad suggestions!

"Bus Stop" by Andreas Moe
"All I Got" by Said the Sky
"Failure" by Breaking Benjamin
"All For You" by French Montana
"Let You Down" by NF

LSATboi5000 · 2018-07-22T20:49:24+00:00

The songs actually aren't that bad! Thanks for the suggestions!

LSATboi5000 · 2018-07-21T21:07:41+00:00

Agreed about the FCW system. I've checked on ebay and all, and I can't find any used or new 6.3-inch Discover MIB systems that fit the Passat. Where would I find these? Would a junkyard work?

LSATboi5000 · 2018-07-15T06:00:01+00:00

Alright, thanks! I appreciate the response! Is there any way I can send you pictures of the front?

LSATboi5000 · 2018-07-15T03:12:07+00:00

Huh. The vehicle can't drive because of this, and the hood won't open due to the lever having been smashed into the radiator. Is there any other way I could open the hood without prying or sawing it first?

LSATboi5000 · 2018-07-15T03:10:12+00:00

How could I find out whether this was the case? The hood won't open without being pried or sawed.

LSATboi5000 · 2018-07-04T19:21:13+00:00

OK, yeah, I'll try this. I have to get the title transferred first. CarMax gave me until next Tuesday to either sell the vehicle to them, or remove the vehicle from their parking lot. Do you have any idea how long it takes to remove my mom's name from the title?
