I read " I poked her dead in the eye " as you you rammed her with your man meat in the eye sockets until she literally bled out and died. Wow your date wasn't that bad after all !

On the bright side op, at least she didn't turn into a zombie and try to eat you..

What a noob.

I actually think it's kinda cute to have embarrassing moments like that. As long as she's fine just make it a joke. "Remember our first date when I almost blinded you cause I was trying to be romantic and failed?" And it'll be a cute memory.

Shit happens and life goes on.

Surely if you explain that it was an accident, it will blow over. If I were her I would think it was kind of cute, like you were nervous or something :)

You're still good. I'm sure you two can get over you blinding just one eye. I mean come on does she really need two?

I voted ydi only because of the 'like they do in the movies' part. Be yourself! Not much in a relationship will be like the movies. My boyfriend elbowed me pretty hard in the eye once and we laugh about it to this day. Hopefully it will be the same for you- no hard feelings!

lmao made my day... all good relatioships start like that. good luck..

Just buy her safety goggles for the second date :)
