TIFU by zoning out while my girlfriend was talking


Full disclosure, this happened two days ago.


So I was an event with some professional acquaintances, and I found myself the target of some pretty intense flirting.


I had my hands on the table, and she touched them when I brought up a good idea. I moved my hands under the table.


I said a funny joke, and she touched my shoulder. I moved to the next seat when I could.


As we were leaving, she went in for the hug. Nobody else got hugs. I barely knew this woman.


So I was having coffee with my girlfriend the next day, telling her all about it. I was half proud for my careful avoidance tactics, and (to be honest) half bragging that I was getting attention. I paused for a moment, pleased with myself, smiling and nodding.


Meanwhile, at the instant that I began smiling and nodding, my girlfriend asked me whether this woman was prettier than she was. I continued smiling and nodding, lost in thought.


She asked me, "Are you sure?". Somehow, I missed the incredulous tone in her voice.


I said "Yep!", confident that we were talking about what a good boyfriend I had been.


... needless to say, I slept on the couch last night.
