I recently realised I do have quite a bit of experience in one aspect of relationships - and that is failing spectacularly to initiate them 
With that in mind, I thought of making a semi-lighthearted semi-heartrending thread based on sharing the stories of all those potential relationships that never got off the ground.
I'll kickstart it. Heart-rending one first! I think I may have told this one before.
I used to sit in a class with this stunningly pretty blonde-haired girl about 3 years ago. She was really smart, had a great sense of humour and we had a bunch of in-jokes together. We'd help each other out if we got stuck on the work and things were great.
One lesson we were doing a pretty tough topic, and I remember her breathlessly whispering to me "Come on, Solitary" (okay, the name was different ) "We can do this!"
Probably the hottest thing a girl's ever said to me actually. Anyway, it was either that lesson or the next that her leg touched against mine and we sat happily like that for the whole hour, not saying a word.
I had been talking to her after class for a long time, and alarm bells should have been ringing for me to ask her out.
Instead I didn't, silently changed off of that class due to timetabling issues and didn't see her for about a year, after which I came dangerously close to suddenly asking her out during the permanent-end-of-school-you're-never-seeing-these-people-again-disco.
Unfortunately my "friend" was hideously drunk and continuously ruined my attempts to approach her, leading me to sit for the rest of the night, completely sober, with a drunken guy clutching a cigarette between his teeth nattering gibberish into my ear.
To make it worse, I had to watch this guy I knew to be an absolute ******** really getting into snogging the lips off this other girl I was friends with. Fate has a cruel sense of humour
That's the painful one out of the way (sort of, I still regret it every couple of nights )
The more amusing incident was when I once noticed this highly attractive girl who had been smiling at me all year walked towards me with her friend.
At the time I was eating a salad sandwich, and the combination of shock, surprise and lack of due concentration meant that when she said "Hi" all I managed to do was choke loudly, open my mouth like a fish and claw self-consciously at a long strand of lettuce that dangled precariously out of my agape mouth.
Much laughter was had by all
She invited me to her birthday party, with the words "You really must come!" As luck would have it, I couldn't go on the day. TheSolitaryMan, what a romantic hero!
Anyway, what are other people's, if they feel like sharing that is?
