Had a pretty embarrassing moment on a date and it’s been eating at me. I was out with this girl I just met, and while turning left to park, I clipped the bumper of a parked car. It was totally my fault. I came in too fast and just wasn’t paying enough attention. I think I was nervous because of the date and it threw me off.
I’ve never been in an accident before, not even a small one, so this really shook me. The damage wasn’t terrible, just a scratch, but I still left a note with my info. What’s really bothering me is how much it ruined my confidence. I tried to act like it didn’t phase me, but I was clearly thrown off for the rest of the night.
I keep replaying it in my head and wondering if she now thinks I’m some kind of idiot. I know stuff happens, but it sucks that my first real impression was this awkward, flustered version of myself. Just one of those nights where nothing goes how you hoped.
TL;DR: Nervous on a first date, scratched a parked car while trying to park. Left a note but felt super embarrassed and it killed my vibe for the night.
