I have been playing nasty joke on DP and am too scared to stop

I've been with my partner about sex weeks. I usually wear contact lenses but I like to buy the different coloured ones. However, as it was a firt date I wanted to just wear clear ones.

So that morning I totally forgot and put in some deep green ones. I meant to take them out before the date but things were running late and I forgot. On the date, he looked at me and said "wow, I never noticed how green your eyes were before ... how strange"

I was a bit embarrassed to say "actually, they're contacts" so I just changed the subject.

After the date I told my friend about it and she said it would be hilarious to wear different coloured ones next time to see what he says.

So the next date I wore really, dark brown ones. He noticed straight away and said "do you wear contacts then?" I acted dumb and said "no, why?" so he said "your eyes were green last time". I acted all confused and suspitious and said "err, no ... they've always been brown, you sure you're not thinking of someone else?" and HE got embarrassed but he looked totally and utterly confused and it WAS funny.

The next date I was due at his house, he was making dinner for me. I went in my brown contacts knowing he'd definately remember this time. He didn't mention it. I took with me however some red contacts (obviously I never usually wear red, these were bought specifically for this) and during the course of the night I slipped them in when the room was dark. At one point he turned to me as we were watching TV and jumped and said "shit! your eyes, whats wrong with them??" so I acted confused again and said "what now??" so he turned on the light, saw my bright red eyes and dropped his drink

I ran upstairs to the bathroom, took them out realising I may have taken it too far, came back down in the brown ones and he said "why didn't you just tell me you wear contacts??" and I said "I don't wear contacts, can we please just drop it?" and refused to speak about it.

Anyway this was on Saturday night. He has phoned since but made no mention of the eye thing. So, either he thinks I'm nuts, thinks I'm just trying to be funny or thinks I'm ill.

Do I bring it up and apologise or leave it and hope he doesn't mention it again?

He probably thinks he is going out with a crazy woman, with the humour of an 8 year old..... dont think he would be wrong

AliceTheCamelHasGotTheHump · 30/01/2009 08:43

How odd.

If you want to have any sort of sensible, mature relationship with this poor man you have to sit down and explain that it started as a joke but got a bit out of hand and you're sorry.

Alambil · 30/01/2009 08:44

Why lie? What's the point...

You realise you may lose him, don't you?

What's the point in THAT?!!! It's hard enough to find a decent bloke these days - why deliberately sabbotage your budding relationship?

Ashantai · 30/01/2009 08:45

LOL i'm till laffing at you being with him for "sex weeks",

I guess if he really likes you, he will overlook your craziness! I'd probably bring it up anyway, cos unless he is very strange, he will know you were wearing contacts.

The only way to get over this is to tell him it was a daft joke that got out of hand and you are sorry for appearing like such a loon.
He might see the funny side and agree to start again.
If you dont say anything he'll just think you are a freak and wont want to see you again!!

IAteMakkaPakka · 30/01/2009 08:58

and some more ...

ruddynorah · 30/01/2009 09:01

hey why not get some fake vampire teeth for next time he tries to kiss you. that would be err....cerrrrazy..

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 30/01/2009 09:06

I'd bring it up, apologise and hope that he sticks around.....

ClaudiaSchiffer · 30/01/2009 09:13

You are very strange. And possibly not in a good way.

troutpout · 30/01/2009 09:16

But this is both very funny (sex weeks made me giggle a lot) and very very odd
What an completely odd thing to do Poisen... surely you can see it is?
Poor bloke...i bet he is totally confused and slightly disturbed by your behaviour.

I think you need to grovel and perhaps behave slightly more errm 'sane' if you want to keep seeing him.

troutpout · 30/01/2009 09:17

lol @ ruddy norah

independiente · 30/01/2009 09:18

You're 'too scared to stop'? Very odd. Your friend probably said 'oh, that's hilarious, imagine if you turned up next time wearing different ones', as in IMAGINE, not actually DO.

parentA · 30/01/2009 09:22

Get a lot of different wigs to start on him next week! And tattoes that come and go so he thinks he's going mad.
I'm joking by the way.

sleepyeyes · 30/01/2009 09:38

'sex weeks' LOL freudian slip at its best.

I cant blame him for not calling, very strange behavior.

Amani · 30/01/2009 09:46

The word 'TWAT' comes to mind...

I think she should aplogies to him - whilst at the same time wearing some 'snake eyes' contacts

thisisyesterday · 30/01/2009 09:50

i would apologise. otherwise he'll just think you're a twat

Lemontart · 30/01/2009 09:52

How old are you? Seriously?

Amani · 30/01/2009 09:53

I guess 14 ????

You sound a bit 'cuckoo' to me

Divineintervention · 30/01/2009 10:06

Very very funny for a couple of hours but over such a long period it is a little odd.

GiveMeAllYourPoison · 30/01/2009 10:09

Ok, I'm going to do the snake eyes thing and THEN I will stop.

Thanks for the idea Amani!
