Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Seemed like a good (drunken) idea at the time.I got to know a lesbian couple through work - really nice girls, only interest in life=drinking and having a laugh, so we got on famously (and the fact that I'm totally non-threatening to the opposite sex, weird that).
Went round to their flat on Saturday afternoon for a party on their rooftop garden (very cool!) and everyone got very, very blotted.
Suddenly I realise I'm the only straight male at the party - then someone suggests we go to a club - that's right, as lesbian club.
Out of my depth - it was the ones with shaven heads and leather jackets and bigger muscles than me that did it. Exit, quickly.
