What was the most cringe way that someone ever tried to ask you out?

0:05.5

In the seventh grade, I was a very awkward child. Kind of chubby, no fashion sense, and my face

0:11.3

generally resembled that of a gorilla. I'd already accepted the fact that boys weren't going to

0:16.5

like me. One day I was hanging out with a guy friend, Richard. Richard was a sweet kid and pretty cute,

0:21.9

and I'd met him through another friend. It was just Richard and me chilling in a hallway when he

0:25.9

suddenly asked me to the school dance that was happening on a Friday. I couldn't believe it. A cute guy

0:31.5

had just asked me to a dance? Are you sure this was real life? Say yes, you idiot. Say yes. So, of course, I did what any reasonable

0:39.2

13-year-old girl would do. I screamed and ran away. Richard didn't want to hang out with me

0:44.6

again after that, and I still feel bad about it to this day. A decade later. Went to a guy's

0:50.8

house to do a project in high school. It involved the internet, and while he sat

0:54.7

next to me, I tried to navigate to Google. Unfortunately, the address bar auto-filled and took me to

1:00.5

his last Google search. Page two of results for my name. Every link had been clicked. We both just

1:08.1

sat in silence. I think he should have said, well, I had to make sure you

1:11.6

weren't a murderer before letting you into my house. I mean, he would have still been creepy,

1:15.8

but you'd be the suspected murderer. I managed a cafe that was located about an hour or something's

1:21.6

drive from my house. There was this guy you had it really bad for me. He came in a couple of times

1:26.6

a day and refused to be served by any of my staff. Just me. Anyway, as if that wasn't bad enough, one day during the winter, it got very icy, so I decided to not drive home, but stay in a B&B instead. Safety and crap, you know? Don't ask me how, but he found out and stayed in the same B&B. I was woken up by him banging on my door. When I opened, he stands there fuming about how I don't trust him, or why else would I lock the door to my room during the night? Now, who doesn't lock the door in a B&B? Also, well, Duh, guess what? He obviously tried the door. What the frick, man. Also, by the time I made it to work

2:02.1

the next morning, a two-minute walk from the B&B, he had already managed to tell a good portion of

2:06.7

the townies that he and I had spent the night together. This guy actually scared the crap out of me.

2:12.1

I regularly passed up other people working on the same street to not have to walk to the parking lot

2:16.7

alone. I'm not working

2:18.2

there anymore, and since I'm living far away, I saw him driving through my town last summer once,
