[–]Itwasme101 206 points207 points ago

Oh man that was hilarious.

[–]mightymight91 158 points159 points ago

He really could have gotten himself out of that one with every message.

[–]neverdreams 99 points100 points ago

It's like he purposefully kept digging himself deeper.

[–]GrammarGorilla 105 points106 points ago

Does that mean we can do a sex? I never had one before so I don't know the rules.

[–]JHallComics 6 points7 points ago

We can start slow or w/e I can like cunniling your snizz or we can start as friends first I have condoms

[–]GrammarGorilla 4 points5 points ago

I love looking in my comment responses and not knowing which one they replied to. It's always so confusing and a little bit scary.

[–]kimchifart 0 points1 point ago

It's almost like he...meant to get a thread of awkwardness front paged.

[–]LooksDelicious 26 points27 points ago

Can still dig himself out of that easily... "I'm sorry, I went out with a few friends last night and drank way way way too much. I don't usually go that hard but it was a celebration for my friend."

Or... Teenager Version: "My uncle came to visit and he brought tons of booze with him to watch ChooseYourGame, I'm sorry about last night.

And the games back on.

[–]noitsapen 53 points54 points ago

Sure he could get out of it but seeing as how he was actually just being himself and not drunk, he's just gonna fuck it up again.

[–]LooksDelicious 8 points9 points ago

I feel he was doing that on purpose though. If not... good luck to this kid.

[–]noitsapen 5 points6 points ago

Yeah I was leaning towards him trolling too... if not, god help him.

[–]awesomemanftw 0 points1 point ago

If that's his normal self, he's going to need a lot more than God.

[–]noitsapen 0 points1 point ago

As will the ladies.

[–]_oogle 0 points1 point ago

I agree, to the point that I think he must have been messing with her.

[–]dfxck 238 points239 points ago

When 4chan says you're awkward, you're one awkward dude.

[–]AATroop 68 points69 points ago

And if 4chan calls you racist... you're evil incarnate.

[–]gabriot 23 points24 points ago

And if they call you a pervert... there are no words to describe you.

[–]AdvocateForLucifer 5 points6 points ago

Even I have yet to be called racist by 4chan. I think you're wrong with that premise there.

[–]AATroop 0 points1 point ago

You're just a puny advocate, you

[–]AdvocateForLucifer 0 points1 point ago

I'm speaking for the master with that comment.

[–]onbacon 83 points84 points ago

... Or I could just eat you out or something.

[–]ecnosihtgnisu 48 points49 points ago

w/e

[–]MolsonIce 20 points21 points ago

But seriously I have condoms.

[–]redvelveteenrabbit 81 points82 points ago

I sputtered out loud at the last bit. That would be understandable in real life but if you can't filter yourself in texts, you can't filter yourself anywhere.

[–]aim1ess 65 points66 points ago

I couldn't read the convo to the end, my body doesn't want to.

[–]8Cowboy 16 points17 points ago

The ending is the best part.

[–]DramaMeter 23 points24 points ago

dude... you have to, i rarely cringe at videos, and even less at pictures... but oh my god... this kid is either a genius or a grandmaster brony

[–]aim1ess 3 points4 points ago

I tried to but, it's physically impossible for me. I started with the end and it made me feel uncomfortable, then I read from the beginning, but there's a point in the moddle where I'm so uncomfortable, I can't finish reading it.

[–]C_IsForCookie 1 point2 points ago

Dude me too. I got to the part where he said he had condoms and she called him and perv and I closed it. It's the only thing on this sub I've ever physically cringed at. It actually mindfucked me. Couldn't finish.

[–]Prothean_Javik 166 points167 points ago

There was cringe on both sides, I feel. "That's it? CALL ME CUTE GOD DAMNIT!"

[–]HotDinnerBatman 83 points84 points ago

EXACTLY.

Oh thats it? :(

[–]Rafeeq 69 points70 points ago

No ! I'm sorry, I mean yeah you're cute. I could bring condoms.

[–]colucci 53 points54 points ago

Condoms? Is that it? :(

[–]wtfisdisreal 34 points35 points ago

Please respond.

[–]ep-w2012 35 points36 points ago

Please wtfisdisreal......stay safe......

[–]DramaMeter 19 points20 points ago

Pls ep-w2012 respond... I will pray for you...

[–]HotDinnerBatman 25 points26 points ago

Lol you're a perv ;)

[–]Annarr 21 points22 points ago

wtf lol why are talking about condoms

holy shit your a perv

[–]cedricchase 46 points47 points ago

I think she was still DTF at that point.

[–]Marcob10 21 points22 points ago

At first I thought OP was the pink one. Awkwardly trying to flirt a girl but it turns out OP can't pick up flirting cues and then misinterprete them for sexual offers.

I know some (most) of us aren't used to being chased but the dude couldn't see her holding a big sign saying "ask me out to grab a drink idiot!".

[–]CaptainVulva 9 points10 points ago

I know some (most) of us aren't used to being chased but the dude couldn't see her holding a big sign saying "ask me out to grab a drink idiot!".

I was assuming they're both 14 years old...no?

[–]crazylegscowpuss 25 points26 points ago

Damn, normally I can read the stuff posted on /r/cringe as opposed to some of the videos here but holy hell that was hard to finish. Just how? Why? That condom comment was so unnecessary it's just, dude...

[–]MisterUNO 38 points39 points ago

It all stems from the fact that he misunderstood the "we can sleep together" comment. He actually forgot he had brought up the whole sleeping in class thing. From there on in he simply assumed she was interested in fucking him.

This temporary loss of short term memory is what brought about his tragic end.

[–]Problem_GASH 24 points25 points ago

Never forget.

[–]Drunken_Observer 7 points8 points ago

Forget what?

...What's spaghetti flirting?

[–]MestR 99 points100 points ago

When anon tries to hook up with a girl.

[–]FuarkBrah 134 points135 points ago

And spaghetti falls out ofhis fanny pack. Making things awkward for everyone.

[–]lebowskisweater 153 points154 points ago

Hang on. Is that really what spaghetti flirting is? I came here for answers!

And don't woosh me. I'm 38. Help me be hip.

[–]lebowskisweater 38 points39 points ago

Thanks. I am now caught up!

[–]HotcakesUnited 15 points16 points ago

[–]lebowskisweater 9 points10 points ago

Thanks. I feel...better?

[–]PeerzPressure 23 points24 points ago

Spaghetti is kinda social retardism, so if someone fucks up and makes a awkward situation "spaghetti starts falling out of the pockets".

[–]cyberslick188 15 points16 points ago

It's important to note that usually this meme is like the Bel Air or Everyone get on the floor and Dinosaur memes in that it's used to troll, not actually be true.

[–]Splitshadow 30 points31 points ago

[–]moderndayvigilante -1 points0 points ago

No, wrong..

[–]AtheistBale 4 points5 points ago

Why is it called spaghetti?

[–]MestR 16 points17 points ago

Would you consider it not socially retarded to have your pockets full of spahetti?

[–]Viking_Lordbeast 15 points16 points ago

Well it's important that you ask the place of business' spaghetti policy.

[–]AtheistBale 5 points6 points ago

But why spaghetti? Why not salad or cereal or sausage?

[–]mrjack92 9 points10 points ago

Spaghetti is so awkward. It just noodles around.

[–]coffeetablesex 14 points15 points ago

Sometimes my sausage falls out and this weird music from the 1970's starts playing. Then I get this over whelming urge to drop the Pizza I'm delivering and bang the lady who ordered it.

[–]HINDBRAIN 3 points4 points ago

As with most memes, it originates from 4chan. In this case, the /fit/ board. Some guy had a story involving spaghetti spilling from his fanny pack and it stuck.

Spaghetti is often accompanied by bursting into treats, "y-you too", or "b-back that ass up"

[–]LiterallyKesha 1 point2 points ago

"Hey, you got a cigarette buddy?"

"Y-you too"

"What?"

[–]MestR 2 points3 points ago

They're easy to pick up again, but you look really awkward if you try to pick up spaghetti from the floor.

[–]FilthyBojangles -1 points0 points ago

Just say the word "spaghetti" out loud. It's kind of an awkward word in and of itself.

[–]MisterSjeiks 1 point2 points ago

If I'm not mistaken, some socially awkward guy on /fit/ actually had spaghetti in his pockets and it actually fell out while he wad flirting with some chick.

[–]wounded_knee 49 points50 points ago

My internal monologue while reading it was something like: "........................................Oh no, please, dude, come one...no...oh dude....fuck, why? oh god, dear lord have mercy....just no...I can't go on..............oh dear god, it gets worse, please no."

[–]kfour 4 points5 points ago

just post this comment to every single submission in r/cringe

[–]myrpou 39 points40 points ago

It's kind of like this, but backwards.

[–]loihadf9a90s 16 points17 points ago

That feel when you realize all those missed oppurtunities.

[–]ChrisCipher 5 points6 points ago

I think we all have at least one of these where we just blew it and didn't realize until days later. Can you truly forgive yourself?

[–]glowghost 6 points7 points ago

What's worse is the times I get there, she expects me to actually teach her the biology, I walk home feeling stupid and horny. But at least I'm not the one with a biology test Monday.

[–]HINDBRAIN 0 points1 point ago

"I'm gonna go and change, wanna come?"

"Uh, sorry, I'm going home"

...

...

"oh!"

[–]righteous_scout 24 points25 points ago

what the fucking hell is the rhino for

[–]-rm_system32 35 points36 points ago

...because the rhino is horny...

[–]DickRhino 11 points12 points ago

Ah, you know of our kind.

[–]koobaxion 16 points17 points ago

It's Sexually retarded rhinosaurus or something! It's what all the kids love these days! You can't just make jokes, gotta have an animal to go with it! Like Constipated Neo-Nazi Wasp, or Homicidal-Alcoholic Capybera! Advice Animals! It's like jokes, for morons!

[–]ArcticSpaceman 8 points9 points ago

This is what happens when your only experience related to sexuality is pornography.

"Oh sweet, a girl is talking to me, she must want to have sex!"

[–]Inaudible_Whale 23 points24 points ago

What the fuck?! Am I the only one who thinks that is fake as shit? It's like the dialogue from a shitty American comedy.

[–]boxmore 12 points13 points ago

It could be fake, but it's plausible. Fact is stranger fiction. We can't determine if it's authentic or authored, but we can judge its plausibility. I'm certain that something this bad, or worse, could go down in real life.

[–]FilthyBojangles 4 points5 points ago

Considering the other videos and pictures on this subreddit, my expectations of people's social skills have dropped dramatically. I'd say this is plausible.

[–]lionheartednyhc 3 points4 points ago

I like to believe everything I read on reddit is true. It makes everything much more enjoyable.

[–]righteous_scout 31 points32 points ago

Can't deal with it.

[–]Jrook 32 points33 points ago

R/cringe where nobody points out op misspelled "lose"

[–]brainfire 18 points19 points ago

I completely forgot about it after my mind was blown by the amount of awkward in the picture.

[–]SecularMantis 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, when I initially clicked I saw it but after ten seconds of that story it was the furthest thing from my mind.

[–]pitlord713 3 points4 points ago

this is the best subreddit by far

[–]Pharien 2 points3 points ago

So many people misspell it as "loose" that I hardly even notice it anymore. I don't even know where they get it. =/

[–]AdvocateForLucifer 0 points1 point ago

The "oo" sometimes makes a "u" sound, like the one that the single "o" in lose makes.

[–]Viking_Lordbeast 2 points3 points ago

I think it's a good sign because it shows that people actually look at the content and forget about the title before commenting.

[–]naobatt 5 points6 points ago

yikes. Poor guy

[–]asurroca 3 points4 points ago

I didn't think you could actually feel the mood change via text/IM, but this has proven otherwise. I could almost hear the record scratch. 4chan delivers the best spaghetti in town.

[–]caiada 2 points3 points ago

Life throws a girl at this guy and he says no. That was just... painful.

[–]fishnetdiver 0 points1 point ago

that was just painful.

[–]IRHR 6 points7 points ago

[–]DoctorNose 5 points6 points ago

Were the 4chan comments necessary?

[–]niqqaplease 17 points18 points ago

[–]Panthertron 2 points3 points ago

best part.

[–]Droidsoldier 25 points26 points ago

Yes. The picture of the pug was hilarious, and an accurate example of what my face looked like reading this.

[–]SocialBunny198 5 points6 points ago

Yes and that whole comment about Italy.

[–]MestR 9 points10 points ago

I thought they added to the experience to hype it up. At least it wasn't like most OPs in /r/4chan who adds their own "/thread" to make the whole image cancerous.

[–]FilthyBojangles -1 points0 points ago

Yes.

[–]ivras -3 points-2 points ago

This is a really old repost and was originally found on /b/ and eventually spread as far as I know. So yes, it's necessary.

[–]DoctorNose 0 points1 point ago

So when this is reposted here on reddit it will have all our comments attached?

Odd system.

[–]cl0tho -2 points-1 points ago

Am I the only one who thought this was a genius troll at first?

[–]ArcticSpaceman 14 points15 points ago

> Am I the only one

Probably not ever, please don't use that phrase.

[–]Rothulfossil 1 point2 points ago

Shit, and he was being pretty smooth* there for a bit.

*All things considered

[–]terranopp 1 point2 points ago

[–]AlwaysPineapple 0 points1 point ago

I had to force myself to finish reading this...

[–]bluerose2 -1 points0 points ago

I don't think he managed to make his friend 'loose' at all; she seemed to reject the condom idea.

[–]test0 1 point2 points ago

Hey! I had a math teacher named Mr. Feldman in 8th grade! What is this?!

[–]Phratello 1 point2 points ago

Reading that hurt me physically.

[–]cris178 -1 points0 points ago

The sad part is that U think I did recently. Not to this extent but still.

[–]Pharien 0 points1 point ago

Lost it at the Reginald image. This was hysterical. I'd have cringed if I knew him.

[–]NigmaNoname 1 point2 points ago

One of my favorite spaghetti related images ever...

Part of me thinks it's fake, part of me doesn't- but the majority of me doesn't even care anymore. The story, coupled with the reactions, just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing I'm not as socially retarded as this guy.

Absolutely hilarious, 10/10.

[–]MinimaL_SC 0 points1 point ago

CRINGING AT TITLE

[–]wtfisdisreal 0 points1 point ago

Upgraded his spaghetti level to fagottini.

Google it. its a real pasta.

[–]joazito 1 point2 points ago

Retarded as that was, the girl was into him so there's probably still a chance. It looked more like she thought he was messing with her on purpose and that's why the cold bye. This will probably go better face to face.

[–]Thehealeroftri 1 point2 points ago

He went full spaghetti on her.

[–]captainburp 1 point2 points ago

Kinda reminds me of when I first started dating this guy. He called me up drunk one night and left a message. In the background I could hear his friend yelling "he wants to shag you!" then my bf said "my friend is saying I wanna shag you but that's not...no that's...well...ok...NO! bye!" He was embarrassed, I thought it was hilarious.

[–]AdmiralPancake 0 points1 point ago

That Omega thread on /b/ was painful. Those people are disgusting.

[–]anonthecannon 0 points1 point ago

Aaaaah!Stop it! It was painful just reading it!

[–]XelNaga -1 points0 points ago

Wow. This is the oldest, most reposted pile of spaghetti out there. It's from god damn February.

[–]TheAwesomeinator 0 points1 point ago

So old, but so good.

[–]dromaide 1 point2 points ago

I don't understand at the end when she says "we don't have to fuck? seriously we don't have to?" What does this mean? She wants to have sex or what? Did he phrase it the wrong way?

English is not my mother tongue so I think I don't understand it right.

[–]Isunova 0 points1 point ago

I got through like 1/6th and honestly it's just getting too painful to read

[–]youarei 3 points4 points ago

seriously WHAT THE FUCK, how can anyone be this awkwardly retarded? I feel sorry for the dude, she was totes hitting on him and he jumps straight to sex, no shit that'd freak her out BUT HE STILL HAD A FUCKING CHANCE AFTER THAT, HOW THE HELL DID HE CONTINUE TO MAKE IT WORSE?!

[–]glowghost 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. If he'd recovered after his first or even second fuck up, he probably could've still done it. Jesus.

[–]brainburger 0 points1 point ago

What's it got to do with spaghetti? Is it something to do with copy-pasta?
