This past Sunday at church this girl, “Trisha” walked up to me and began asking all these standard questions like; “what school do you go to?”, “What grade are you in?” It turned out that our Birthday’s and years were the exact same.
Trisha said that she saw me last week and some of her friends thought I was really cute and of course that made me smile but I said “Only some of your friends? I’m insulted.” And she got the dumb joke and it made her laugh.
Trisha whipped out a cell phone and says “let me put you on my list because you’re kind of cute and goofy at the same time…I like your style”.
While she is putting my number in her phone something unexpected happened I saw something red splash on her hand and then a second time on her phone.
I didn’t know what it was right away and Trisha had this disgusted look on her face. I realized that I was having a nosebleed and I got it on her hand and cell phone.
I went into the bathroom and I had a tiny amount of blood on my shirt and I stayed in the bathroom almost 10 minutes cleaning up and when I got out Trisha was gone.I went over to the spot where we were talking and there was a couple small splashes of blood on the floor.
I don’t get nosebleeds that often maybe once or twice a year but for some reason that one came with no real warning at the worst possible time. :smack:
I walked around the church and saw another girl that I knew hung out with Trisha and asked where Trisha was and she said that she didn’t know and then asked me if I had any diseases and I said “No…why” and all this girl said was “Oooooooooookay then buddy”.
I can’t see that Trisha could still possibly “like my style” unless she likes guys that bleed. Is there any chance that she will be calling me or should I just hide my face whenever she comes around?
Maybe you should call her and apologize for your unpredictable nose? I mean, that is indeed pretty gross, but if she’s going to not like you because of a surprise nosebleed, you probably don’t want to be friends with her anyway.
It’s not like you bled on her on purpose, and if she has half a brain, she knows that.
Aw, sorry to hear that happened to you. No, I don’t think she will call you as things stand now. Trying to apologize to her about it (even though it’s NOT really your fault, at least you can say you regret that it happened) is probably your best chance of salvaging things. Maybe she was just upset because it was so unexpected and after she calms down she might realize that it’s not something you could control. Hope things work out well for you.
Who’s older? Remember to compensate for time zones and daylight savings time.
Apologize for getting blood all over her, at least. I wouldn’t act embarassed about it, it’s not like you opened up a vein and aimed a jet of blood at her on purpose. She’s a girl, she should know something about unexpected, uncontrollable bleeding.
Oh… and you should definitely throw in a comment about hoping your nose didn’t blow it. I don’t know if that choice of phrasing was intentional or not, but I thought it was pretty funny.
I’d say it’s best to make a little joke out of it. Something like, “Well, it’s apparent that I can pick my friends, but I can’t pick my nose! Sorry about last week.” If she catches on to jokes like you said she has, she should get it and be a little more relaxed about the whole situation.
Any girl that would be speculating with her little friends of if you had any diseases or not just because you had an unexpected nosebleed is likely not one worth the effort. You may want to reconsider your pursuit after some evaluation of the behaviors displayed.
chuckle START, dude, you always got some hot mess going on. I’d write this girl off, given her reaction an the comment her friend made. On the other hand, you have nothing to lose at this point. If you must have her, tell her you got into a fight defending your sister’s honor or something, and the guy got a lucky punch in. Unfortunately, the resulting damage still gives you an occasional nosebleed. Just an example, but make it sound good!
I wouldn’t be able to look at you again but that is completely because of who I am, NOT YOU. I had chronic nosebleeds in HS (stress-related?) and can’t stand the sight of one or the thought of anything having to do with one. I am feeling oogey just being in this thread <puke smiley> I wish there had been spoiler tags around that part of the OP --I thought it was going to be about a booger* only.
That being said, you have proven that that recurring daymare I have before a job interview or important meeting could actually come true.
