Have You Ever “Error Kissed”?
November 14th, 2006 Posted in Dating and Mating
On Friday night, I got really really really drunk and I kissed someone that I shouldn’t have kissed. Don’t worry, it wasn’t a blood relative or anything like that. But, still, I feel guilty … so guilty that, even though I want to write a post and tell you who it was, I’m too embarrassed to carry through with it. Ewwwwww. Just thinking about it makes me feel really bad again. Error kissing. Have you ever kissed someone that you shouldn’t have kissed?

Yes. During my brief split with the boy I actually kissed 3 guys (it was a month split!), 2 of which resulted in my bursting out into tears and dragging my ass home (alone). The other was only after being so very drunk I puked in the parking lot of the biker bar. Not a proud moment in my life, or probably his.

Yes. It was a rebound thing although I didn’t realise it at the time. You know, the sort of guy all your friends hate and warn you against but you still don’t listen because you (foolishly) think he’s great? I think so far he’s the only guy in my repetoire I actually look back on and think “ugh” and feel an overwhelming need for mouthwash. Not to say I haven’t had my share of freaks but they weren’t 100% repulsive on hindsight like this guy.
My advice to you on damage control; DONT think about it, dont feel bad, and blame it on the alcohol if pressed for a reason. If at all, think of it as a ‘negative control’ for which to compare all subsequent kissing against (ok spending way too much time in the lab, is that obvious?!:)

I had a ex-coworker’s wife almost attack me at a Christmas party in Chicago a few years back. He got drunk and flirty. She got drunk and pissed off, so I guess she decided to get even. The incident was never mentioned after that night, but I always felt a weird tention around them.

I haven’t ‘error’ kissed anyone but I can say that it still feels pretty bad to kiss someone you’re considering breaking up with…

El: Just out of curiosity, was the biker bar the “Twisted Spoke” or “Life’s Too Short” or whatever it’s called over there on the end of Wicker Park. I’ve only been to that place once, and it was something to remember.
Darwin: You said, “You know, the sort of guy all your friends hate and warn you against but you still don’t listen because you (foolishly) think he’s great?” As a general rule, my friends hate all of the guys that I date. And, yeah, I think I’ll blame it on the alcohol because it really DID affect me that night.
AWE: I had an ex-coworker’s boyfriend hit on me SHAMELESSLY in front of everyone. I was so uncomfortable that I didn’t know what to do. It was just a really strange situation for everyone involved, I think.
kypris: Forget kissing, I had a boyfriend *SLEEP* with me one day and then break up with me immediately afterwards. I’m still not sure that I ever forgave him for that one.

Can’t say that I have, but I LOVE hearing stories about them. :)

heh, I’m living in Raleigh now… I wish it were a Chicago bar for all that would implicate (my being there)… but the biker WAS a Chicago man! If that counts for anything.

Shoot. I’ve error screwed. My only excuse was that I was 18 and, um, not smart when it came to matters of the heart. Don’t beat yourself up, baby. It’ll be okay.

Where do I begin?
Inappropriate kisses, stolen in a moment, never to be repeated, tacit understanding…*most of the time.* ;-)
Yeah, I’ve kissed alot of people. alot of people under all kinds of circumstances just because I wanted to.
When you are older, you will look back at moments like this and smile and think of it as impetuous, a moment in time.
because in the big picture, that is all it is.

(sorry for the double post)
MamaChristy – more than once. ;-)

Sorry, lady. Really I am. But at least you error kissed a pretty hot guy!
Check on the error screw. And I’d do it again, I think. Today.
*hanging head*

Howard: And, if I wasn’t so ashamed, I’d tell the story. :)
El: You error kissed a BIKER?! :) That had to be interesting to say the very least. And, by the way, I didn’t know that you’re on the east half of the US too! I miss the midwest, but it’s nice to live on the east coast for a moment.
MamaChristy: Yep. Did that, too. Not Friday night, but in gradschool. I slept with “The Face“. Two times. *AFTER* going on several dates with his best friend. It wasn’t the smartest thing that I’ve ever done.
Laurie: Ooooh, for my sake, I hope you’re right. :) And, yes, I’m sure that quite a few of us can relate to MamaC.
sid: The sad thing is that I was so drunk that I honestly don’t know if I’d remember his face if I saw him again. (I don’t even remember his name.) I do remember what he was wearing, of course, and I remember that he was really really tall & he had blue eyes & dark brown hair. But, that could be almost ANYONE in New York …

Hey he’s a cute biker… and kinda a friend of mine..
I’m adoring the weather down here lately. As much as I yearn to be able to get Thai food delivered to my door I think I enjoy being able to not wear a jacket in November even more.
November 15th, 2006 at 11:08 am
I suppose I should add that the error was more erroneous due to him being a co-worker.
And the full story comes out.
November 15th, 2006 at 2:08 pm
Oooooh, THE PLOT THICKENS!!! :)
November 15th, 2006 at 3:51 pm
Have I ever! It contributed bigtime towards me giving up alcohol. I can’t believe I did, what I did!
November 16th, 2006 at 9:04 am
Now THAT sounds like an interesting story.
November 16th, 2006 at 9:37 am
Yeah, I have. And I ended up dating my error for almost a year. That’s when I was young(er) and dumb(er) and felt a strong sense of obligation to other people, self be damned. I’m sooooo over that!
November 16th, 2006 at 9:45 am
I wish I was over that. I still keep dating error guys.
On a somewhat related note … One of my exes, Le Canadien, called me. We made plans to go to a party (as platonic friends) in a few weeks.
November 16th, 2006 at 8:33 pm
Oh yes.
And it took several months to extricate myself from the ensuing situation.

Depending on the circumstances, that could have been a lot of fun or sheer hell.
