Every failure is still a great anecdote...
So I'm sitting in a bar with a girl from work, all the other work people have drunkenly ambled off home and there's just me, her and a mate of mine at a nearby table waiting patiently so we can go see a band.
"Anyway," says I, "I must be going. Actually it was great to finally chat with you outside work though... in fact would you like to come out to dinner with me tonight?"
"Oh God no!" she says and cracks up laughing.
The aforementioned mate was texting the story to everyone we were catching up with before she could even finish her drink.
By the time she left, he'd congratulated her on giving him such a wonderful moment (while still wiping the tears of joy off his face) and had half the bar shouting "Oh God no!" at everything I said.

She sounds a bitch.
You were better off without her.

Jesus!
You poor bastard!

It does sound pretty funny though.
