Although I have had many embarrassing moments, luckily I do not always feel that embarrassed. It has become natural for me to do things the wrong way or be awkward so it does not ever bother me. The one time I can recall where I have actually felt deeply embarrassed was about two years ago. I decided to reveal, against better judgment, to my friend that I really liked him. I am definitely not one to put myself out like this so this was a big deal for me. For some terrible reason I thought in between classes was the perfect time to share this information. So, while we were heading out of our previous class and about to split ways I just blurted out, "I like you. A lot." Even as I type it now I am reliving that terribly awkward moment. In my head it went a little something like this:
Anyways, we stood there in silence for what felt like eternity but what have must of been no more than a minute. The look on his face was shock and surprise but not in a good way, so by this time I already knew that this was not going to end well. While we were staring at each other still in silence, one of his friends came up to us trying to start up a conversation. We weren't having it. His friend left in confusion and I believe I even heard him mutter under his breath, "You guys suck." Finally I decided to break the tension by saying something like, "Well, yeah, I don't expect you to, yeah, I'm sorry, this was dumb, yeah, well...see you later," and I walked off to class. By this time I was laughing even as I turned around to see my poor friend still standing outside like a deer caught in the headlights. I guess I underestimated how big of a deal it was. Luckily it only took about five days for us to move past this embarrassing confession and remain close friends. It's even funnier now because we are actually dating. So I guess my confession was not too inappropriate, I just got the timing wrong. To this day neither of us have ever mentioned this story. Personally, I think it is hilarious no matter how embarrassed I was. Maybe the next time I bring it up it will be just as awkward. Then I will have some other embarrassing moment to write about :D
