When joking goes bad???

I've been dating Lisa for about a month and a half. Things are moving along. We talk 1-2 times\week by phone and email\IM\text message in between. Things went well until yesterday. She called me in the AM. I missed the call and emailed her later. We e-mailed back and forth a few times and she busted my balls a little. We decided to go out tomorrow night. I told her I had a few ideas of what we could do. She asked what? and I joked saying, "Play naked twister...No...someone could get hurt...then it'd be tough trying to explain it..." I then gave her a few "realistic" ideas...Dinner, Comedy show, concert, etc. Said I'd call her last night and we could discuss it then. I did and got her voicemail. PROBLEM...I haven't heard from her since...No e-mail, no phone. Maybe she didn't take it as a joke, as we haven't had sex yet, just heavy kissing and feeling... I don't want to call and apologize like a wuss or seem desparate and don't want her to think I Just want to have sex with her. I like her and think she could be "The One". What should I do?

I don't think you'd have to apologize. I wouldn't have found what you said offensive.

What did she bust your balls over? Missing her call?

If you don't hear from her by tomorrow afternoon, send her an email stating that you hadn't heard from her, and hoped it wasn't because of the comment you had made. That you hadn't meant it as offensive, and hoped she hadn't taken it that way.

I think shes probably just busy. I highly doubt (unless she's very religious, or strict background) that she'd completely drop you over such a harmless joke. Give it some time. She may have run into some problems that she isn't able to tell you yet. Parents, job, money, etc...

Other possibility is she's tired of you ignoring her calls and only getting back to her when you feel like it, so now she's doing it to you. I'm guessing.

naked twister!!!! ahhhhhhhh!

i had just written about that in another post. i'm seriously spooked right now.

Anyways I have to agree with what Walk wrote. You said it in a joking manner and it's not really something to get all worked up over.

Dh and I can see a problem with naked twister joke...........

He would have said it as a way to judge possiblity.

I would have assumed that you were trying to judge if you can get in my pants.

Now, if I had known you for longer than a month and a half I could would have laughed it off.

She really doesn't know you that well. She doesn't have to be a prude or a religious nut to feel this way.

I would wait till tomorrow and then apologize. You overstepped a boundry, first time is ussually forgive. Just take it as a clue that you should joke that way with her (at least yet)
