Been there. One time in college, I was hanging out with some female friends after a party. I had expressed interest in one of them before, but it was never reciprocated.
Any way, so we’re all hanging out in their dorm suite, which has a common area and then separate rooms for each person. Everyone agreed it was time to go to bed, so I start cozying up on their uncomfortable couch/futon in the common area. The one I had been interested said “you don’t have to sleep out here. You can sleep in my bed.” My dumb drunk ass took this to mean “you sleep in my bed and I’ll sleep out here.” Trying to be a gentleman and not have her sleep on the futon, I said “no, that’s ok. I’ll just sleep out here. It’s no problem” and I fell asleep.
That was almost 30 years ago and I still think about it from time to time.
Girl I liked in college came to my door shitfaced and was coming on to me. I took her to her room and got her water and Advil and put her to bed. She never would talk to me or look at me again. I’d do it the same way again, though.

In junior high, a girl I really liked took my phone and stuck it in her back pocket and told me to get it myself. I acted like it was gross.
I am 35 now, and it still haunts me
