I think I pissed off my girlfriend.

[Magrittes Pipe]

I made fun of her in the same way she's been making fun of a friend of hers for over a year. I figured that meant it was fair game.

Should I:

[tjwmason]

1. Just because it's fair and legitimate

doesn't mean that it's permitted.

Flowers and apology.

[DS1]

2. Set her up with Big Jim Slade for a night

:shrug:

[ret5hd]

3. i don't think this poll is fair without a pic.

:evilgrin:

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. You mean like a pic of a nice cobb salad?

[ret5hd]

17. oooh, that looks good. wonder if it's lunch time yet.

[Ironpost]

4. Apologize to her you may need a reference later.

[liberal N proud]

5. Learn now, always apologize and give flowers

You will be doing lot of this in the years ahead.

[terrya]

6. I'd say apologize.

Since I'm close to both of you, maybe I'm not objective enough to answer this....

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. If I wanted objectivity, I wouldn't have made a Lounge poll.

:7

[terrya]

11. Well, yep...that's certainly true.

Thanks for putting things into perspective. Helping me see the forest from the trees and all of that.

[JimmyJazz]

8. You are already in trouble for wasting time posting this poll

when you should already be at the flower shop. Get going, dude. :o

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. I'm working.

:P

[JimmyJazz]

14. No. You are not.

You are posting on DU. :P

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. That's my job.

I am a federal agent.

[Bok_Tukalo]

50. The difference between a man and a boy

Is standing firm on the important and acquiescing on the unimportant and knowing the difference between the two.

Apologize.

[sui generis]

9. well if you managed to hurt her feelings it's because

she gives a damn what YOU think

:shrug: maybe flowers and a special treat would be nice

or maybe you're being manipulated :evilgrin:

I guess if she gets offended often enough you'll know there's something afoot.

12. If you made fun of her to point out her own weakness

you shouldn't apologize. But if you did it to be mean, then you should say you're sorry.

I would save the flowers for a happy occasion. When someone gives me flowers after they've done something wrong, it feels like I'm being bought off.

[Patiod]

16. Guy with flowers = "what did you do?"

According to my SO, whenever he sees a guy with flowers he assumes
1) it's an occasion (birthday, anniversary)
2) the guy fucked up

[leftofthedial]

18. I am one of the biggest copycat whores on DU

but I'm not touching this one.

[johnnie]

19. Well, if you "think" you did, then you don't know for sure

I wouldn't get the flowers because she might not think it is as bad as you do. If you get flowers, it only will tell her that you think you did something horrible, and then it WILL turn in to a "thing".
I would play dumb :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. Good advice!

:thumbsup:

[Blue-Jay]

20. Sack up and apologize.

Then make some tea.

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. I plan on doing all that.

Except for the apology.

[cassandra uprising]

24. well it all depends

if she gets real cute when she pissed, tell her it was all part of your lavish plan to ravage her.

if she starts banging her head on doors or dissecting your physiological ineptitude, like i do when i'm pissed, run away, wait till she calms down, then ravage her accordingly.

signed,

jose mcgills, sexy, high maintenance, physco woman.

:evilgrin:

[Fleshdancer]

25. why don't you apologize to her but buy me the car??

that will teach you not to make fun of your girlfriend :)

[XNASA]

26. I'm not even sure why you bother with women anymore.

Everyone knows you've moved on.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. Where is that picture of us?

:loveya:

[XNASA]

28. I don't believe that there were any cameras around to capture that event.

At least not to my knowledge.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. Then why did I kiss you?

:o

[XNASA]

36. I thought you were being sincere.

:cry:

[eyesroll]

30. Goddammit, hedges, you've kissed more boys than I have since the split.

:cry:

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. I kissed more boys than you did while we were together, too.

Hell, I have kissed more boys in the last 2 weeks than you have in the past decade.

[eyesroll]

32. Sad but true.

But, I think we got groped by the same number of boys when we were together. Unless I'm forgetting something.

[Beware the Beast Man]

33. Buy her some jerky and a Steely Dan CD.

Failing that, you have two man-sluts waiting for you in Cleveland.

[asthmaticeog]

34. Maybe just one man-slut -- I'm thinking of holding out.

Maybe *I* want some flowers and an apology. Did he ever think of that? No, of course not. Hedges is all about Hedges' needs.

Also, I want to be respected for my mind.

[GOPisEvil]

35. Better than pissing ON your girlfriend.

Unless you're into that kind of thing. :shrug:

[flvegan]

37. Play the "I was just showing you how it might feel to your friend" card.

"hurts, doesn't it, honey? see, you shouldn't make fun of people. it's not nice."

That way, you're caring and sensitive, and not afraid to take a stand for what you believe in, even if it means nookie depletion.

If she doesn't buy it, maybe her friend is single.

[Magrittes Pipe]

38. Her friend is a man.

:shrug:

[flvegan]

39. From the looks of previous posts, you don't seem to mind kissing other men

Maybe he'll cook you breakfast.

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. Yes, but I've seen this guy.

:o

[flvegan]

42. You haven't seen the men you HAVE kissed? Party animal.

[liberalitch]

41. I'm sorry I hurt you. Maybe if I can explain why I did what I did...

we will both feel better.

After y'all talk... if she's reasonable... then take her to dinner.

[redqueen]

43. Oh man... COPYCAT!

[SOteric]

44. Other:

Try to hump her leg so she knows how special she is to you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. Apologize profusely, give her a hug and STOP KISSING STRANGE MEN!!

:P :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

48. Yeah. They *are* pretty strange, aren't they?

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. Yes, but to be fair...I can see how, in the right light, with a given

amount of alcohol, they could be stunningly kissable. ;)

[JimmyJazz]

52. aw - Beware the Beastman and asthmaticeog aren't strange --

a little offbeat perhaps, but not "strange."

:)
