Unfortunate words or unfortunate timing...
What's the story?
A few years ago I started dating a man and he was pleasant enough. We'd gone out a few times. He seemed to be very interested in my cooking, homemaking skills and very appreciative. I knew he'd been divorced not too long before we met.
He was over for dinner and I had gone all out with roast, potatoes, baked apples, green beans with a cake for dessert. He ate like a starved man. lol While we were having coffee he was talking about his previous wife and he let it slip that he'd been married 4 times... I laughed and my reply just flew out of my mouth, "Well, don't look to me to be #5."
The moment the words were out I knew I'd been crass. I looked at him and his face fell. I realized he had been looking to me for #5. The evening was strained after that and I didn't hear from him again. Not sure if it was what I said or how I said it but either way I dodged a bullet there. IMO
Do you have a faux pas you'd like to share?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I think my worst was: talked for a few weeks with this guy, and finally had a date. Eventually we ended up in bed. When I saw his underwhelming endowment I blurted out: It’s ok, I’m not a member of the big-dick club.
It was all DOWNhill from there!

I've got one that seems funny now, though it wasn't at the time. It was many years ago when I was in my 20s. I was dating a girl, and we were at a party with some band-mates of mine and various other people. After a certain amount of time, I would say, "Well, we're going to leave now." And everyone would say "No, no! Not yet! Have another beer!" This went on for a while. I kept trying and they kept persuading us to stay. Finally someone said "Why do you want to leave anyway?" And, being kind of angry by this time, I said "Because we're going to go fuck!" We left, but needless to say, we didn't have sex. She was not happy with me.

@LetzGetReal No, it wasn't our first date. She was upset that I was so blunt about it.
