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?

This has had me absolutely PMSL (and I am not a 12 year-old or a reptile). I think it's a joke, but I really hope it's NOT. Hilarious. Loving the snake eyes suggestion!

Velly velly funny.

Other posters, not the op. Just bonkers. You're not really very good at reading social situations, are you?

RumMum · 30/01/2009 21:57

this also really made me laugh...
just come clean...

stroppyknickers · 30/01/2009 21:59

I sooo want this to be true. I can't stop laughing.

HomeintheSun · 30/01/2009 22:03

What colour are your real eyes?

LittlePeanut · 30/01/2009 22:05

I just read it again. I actually have tears in my eyes from laughing at the red eyes bit, where he dropped his drink! This is such a classic. Well done, OP.

kitkatqueen · 30/01/2009 22:10

mnhq can we have a crossed eyes sticking out tongue smiley - please - eyes can be any colour previously used by the op or snake eyes!!! lol!!

givemeallyourpoison, This is the sort of self destructive stuff I have done to my own life in the past. FGS he is not going to find this funny - this is a funny story you can laugh about with your mates - its not one you will be regaling to you mutual grandchildren!!

Reveal all, apologise and tell him that it just got out of hand - if u are v lucky you will get away with it. Worst case scenario he will think u are a total nut and one day you will walk into a job interview to find him sitting opposite you. lol - believe me some of us are that unlucky!!! pmsl!

Yes, it was funny, really it was, but perhaps you should read the 'new partner is a nutter thread' to see the effect that such odd behaviour can have on a relationship and how people can suddenly back off.

Perhaps you should ask the OP from that thread for his contact details if she has dumped him. Sounds like you'd get on like a house on fire!!

Seriously though, he ain't going to believe a damn thing you say or do after this I'm afraid! Life's too short.

CuddlyKelpie · 31/01/2009 02:14

I think it was funny but you should have 'fessed up when he dropped the drink!

Poor bloke probably thinks he is dating a nutter!

I hope he still finds it funny!

I have a set of coloured contacts I am dying to try but they are one-use so would not prolong the agony as much!

I hope you have judged him right.

CuddlyKelpie · 31/01/2009 02:16

Oh, I just realised it was a wind-up...ok I was 'had'. Fair cop guv.

TheYearOfTheCat · 31/01/2009 21:22

Is it really a wind up? How disappointing. It would have been so much funnier if it was for real.
