Stupidest Night of My Life

[MC_KENNA]

Ok, so

long story short, I was driving my hopeful girlfriend's car. I backed up into my car and put a small dent into

both of our cars. I've been dating this girl for a good long while and was thinking of asking her out as a

girlfriend, but now I've got to pull myself out of a *huge* hole here.

She's really angry about it and I

decided after talking with her friend that it would best to send her a rose during the day to break up the tedium of

school. We're both 18 and I'm wondering if ANY of you have made similar mistakes or have an opinion on what I

should do. If there are any potent phrases I should use in my letter, let me know!

I guess I can salvage this

and turn the situation upside down so I'm also wondering if there are any moves that can smooth this over.

I

feel like crap.

accidents happen. You

didn't do it on purpose. Are you able to get her car fixed I guess is the real question?

[DrSmellThis]

Accidents do happen.

IMHO,

just take responsibility, be a gentleman, and allow time to heal before changing the relationship, unless you get

strong signals otherwise. I'd avoid an emotional rose and send a house plant as a token of good faith and good

will.

Doc, you're the best

Mistakes are an opportunity

to show what a good man you are.

(you could also get a dent popper on ebay)

Welcome back, Sillage. Thanks,

bjf!

Or send her a legal notice about

her bumping your car and you wanting reimbursement :P
