I literally had a girl I was being super flirty with come home with me, crawl into my bed and fall asleep next to me once. I convinced myself that she was just being really friendly. She left at 4am.

I went to visit a good friend in another city once and was slightly confused when we got to the end of the night and there was just her tiny bed in her tiny bedroom

to this day I have no idea if she wanted something to happen, but I'm not gonna make it weird and ruin a friendship at midnight while somewhat drunk and out of town. I'll get into bed with you, but if you want something to happen, YOU make the move. the move was not made. or I was too drunk to notice, idk anymore, I'd forgotten about this

I'm the one who got out of bed super early and went for a walk by the lake for over an hour

I had a girl who drunk texted me asking to come over around 9pm because she had too much. Concerned, I let her in, tucked her in my bed, made her some snacks and water, then took out my sleeping bag and slept on the floor.

Later that night, she said the bed was uncomfortable and I asked if she wanted to switch places.

What I'm hearing is that you were a gentleman not willing to take advantage of somebody who didn't have their full wits about them.

I once absolutely missed out on doing the hanky panky with a gal...

... because I was absolutely insistent that we must watch all of Inglorious Basterds.

We were literally already in my bed, the entire time.

... But I was apparently more enamored with the movie and functionally spreading it as gospel.

Like, she actually groped me and whispered for me to roll her around and face her, as opposed to me being the big spoon, and I was like "No you don't understand, you have to see this movie."

... I guess the difference here being that I was entirely aware of the possible routes of that uh, encounter, and I consciously chose the movie, lol.

It's a great movie, but I'm convinced this exact situation is why the pause button was invented.

You did nothing wrong. That movie is incredible.

See these eyes so green

I can stare for a thousand years

Colder than the moon

... It's been so long...

...

See these eyes so red

Red like jungle, burning bright

Those who feel me near

Pull the blinds and change their minds


... I remember the immense irony hitting me the next morning.

That the lyrics of that song, that scene, had basically just actually played out... as a result of me very much wanting her to see that scene, hear that song.

What's wrong with her that she wasn't interested in one of the best movies ever

Well at the risk of sounding vain, possibly she was more interested in me than the movie.

Either that or she was just quite tired.

IIRC, she did just actually fall asleep maybe 2/3 way through the movie.
