Today, I was on a date with a very intelligent and handsome guy. I was so nervous that when he was telling me about his twin sister, I asked him if they were identical twins. FML

Awkward.. but if the 'intelligent and handome' guy doesn't have a good enough sense of humour to not hold it against you, then you're probably better off without him :-)

I would probably do that too, honestly. He probably thought it was cute! If not...AVADA KEDAVRA!

Meh, just laugh it off. Just because he's intelligent doesn't mean he can't joke around.

Being a fraternal twin myself, that is one of the most annoying questions to be ever asked.. does the fact that ones a boy and the others a girl not make sense??

There are identical twins of a different sex. Not common but still there.

I could be completely wrong, but I MUST voice out my thoughts. Aren't there twins that although were born at the same date and time have different features? Like the twins were one was white and the other black. Don't get me wrong, I don't wish to stick my nose where is shouldn't, but I'm self-righteous to a fault. Just because they're twins doesn't mean they have to be identical, so technically OP didn't mess up by asking that question.

When I was little in elementary school there were twins a brother and a sister and they would tell people they were identical lol

59-Well, technically she did because girls and boys can never be identical twins. Fraternal, yes. Identical, obviously not.

59- I believe they can only be considered identical twins if they are the same sex. If that's the case, OP did mess up. However if this guy is trully intelligent, I'm sure he realized it was an error borne of nervousness, and will let it go. Laugh it off, OP. :)

What? That's not a stupid question; maybe they're fraternal twins!

what? that is a stupid question and an even more stupid comment as they almost always (99.9999%) will be fraternal twins if they are of different sex at birth
