OK, I had this really embarassing moment tonight. I was at my church texting while waiting for my parents, and a guy friend of mine came over and said his parents had something for us in their car. So we went out to get it, and on the way he was teasing me..saying I wasn't talking to a girl (I was) and saying I was talking to my boyfriend (I don't have one) after a couple of minutes of that I stepped or and acted like I was going to hit him and then I slipped on the ice and Smashed against him and had to use his arm to keep from falling over. Now what do I do? I avoided him the rest of the evening because he was making fun of me, but now what? I can't avoid him forever, but I don't want him to bring it up to EVERYONE in the nearby premesis...How could I make him just forget about my clumsiness? *Sigh*....Life is so dramatic.

A girl should be so lost in God that a guy has to go in Him in order to find her

i know how you feel, stuff like that makes me want to lock myself in my room
but when u really think about it, u should just stop avoiding him because its probably not as bad as u think
its likely that he's already over it
just start talking to him again, if he makes fun of you he's probably just using it as an excuse to flirt with you! unless he really is a good guy friend, in which case he isnt meaning to make u feel bad and he wouldnt actually have thought any less of you because of the incident.
you probably made him feel needed when u grabed his arm = )

Liz, I agree with Abi on this one. don't give a hoot about it! if he keeps it up and won't let it alone after a few days, then you should breath fire at him, haha. but if he lets it go and only teases you in obvious good fun (there's a line between "good" and "obnoxious"), then just let it roll off of you. like Abi said, I'm 99.9% sure he's forgotten about it by now and hasn't given it a second thought.

You may as well come quiet.

I agree with both girls, you can also talk to him and say "look, I know you think it was funny, but I actually felt really bad because you were teasing me and then I fell and you just laughed..." if he's a "good" guy he'll back off... and if he doesn't, he probably likes you? or am I wrong guys??

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Abi is basically right... except I wouldn't be so sure he has forgotten about it. Chances are, he is still re-playing it in his head and laughing... but 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% chance he doesn't think any less of you for it. He was teasing you, so... my advise would be to lighten up, and laugh it off.

And if you were seriously offended by the teasing, sure, you can talk to him about it, but remember, he probably did it all in good fun, and didn't mean to offend you or embarrass you (Unless he thinks you're cute when you're embarrassed... um... done that before.)

Thanks Y'all. Yeah he called me last night (strictly business...trust me) and didn't mention it at all, even though he had ample opportunity. There was one instance where I was thinking: OK, here it comes. But it didn't. I guess I was worried over nothing...much to my relief!

I hate embarrassing myself like that. I've had worse than that tho!
Our old church you never gave guys a hug at all ever. Forbidden. So the young people are ice skating in the moonlight, and this one guy who had a massive crush on me kept purposely bumping into me and showing off. I ignored him completely. We were doing a race and my skates hit his and i went spinning and almost fell, throwing him off balance. He was behind me and reached out and grabbed me around the waist as I was falling on my face. I didn't make it to the ground but was suspended there by two strong arms and a guy holding me close trying not to fall. I got my feet under me and all I said was a feeble "wow" I was so embarrasses!
Any way, your story just reminded me of that! They may not sound embarrassing but they sure feel that way. Don't worry, you'll get a laugh later!!!

hmm, I think ice skating by moonlight would be fun and exciting, but how does it promote the whole "guys and girls don't touch" thing? I mean it just seems to be a romantic setting for a group of people who are trying to not promote that type of thing?

A scary Dad who sees all was there, and his scary kids! And a minister:) they were sitting by the fire. And anyway, it was just my siblings, and those two other families and we went to school church, and grew up together. Oh there was a missionary there too, we tripped on eachother too. I'm a klutz,

Sorry, but he isn't gonna forget it for a little while probably, and like wjr said, he's still probably chuckling about it, but I can pretty much guarantee he doesn't think one bit less of you for it, and probably felt good that he was there to keep you from falling! If he actually half-way seriously makes fun of you about it in the future, just ask him to please stop because it's really embarassing, but I'm sure it's all in good fun and just teasing you. He is your friend afterall!
Clare, you just made me laugh, and I bet that guy felt 10' tall, and built like a german tank after that! :) Ice skating in the moonlight is kinda romantic, but just like everything else, it is what you make it. We skate all the time when it's cold enough to freeze the ponds. It's like a community social gathering.
