I'm not too sure of the point of this thread. I guess I'd like to see if anyone has any truly ass-holish moments in their lives which screwed up a good thing. I'm not really talking about a "I got drunk and cheated" type of thing, but something you do sober which is completely not you... and it ruins something good.

Basically a couple of weeks ago I meet this girl. She's smart, funny, friendly, and stunningly beautiful. I just moved to Chicago and really didn't know anyone.. and she introduced me to her friends after a date and we all got along really well. It went so well, actually, we ended up staying the night together.

Well, the next morning we were having a conversation about Ben Stiller. I mentioned how my two favorite performances were Zoolander and Heavyweights. I told her that his other roles were, "stereotypical Jewish self-doubting male". What I meant was the long line of Jewish Comedians, Billy Crystal, Jason Alexander, etc. that it had it's time and place... but have been overplayed as the easy comedy. I found Ben Stiller's performance in Something About Polly, Meet the Parents, etc to be too typecast to really appreciate.

Well she's Jewish, I knew she was Jewish since the first date... I honestly never thought twice about it. It did, however, offend her to the point of her not wanting to see me again. She feels that it's basically unforgivable. She's so nice, that when she told me that she tried to not make me feel bad.

My head is spinning because all of a sudden, I'm "that guy" and forever will be to her. This is the first girl in a long time that I've really really liked and my tasteless joke forever ruined it.
