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!

It is actually possible to have identical twins of different gender. EXTREMELY rare, but still possible!

Spike300 - True, but if OP was aware of this rare scenario, she would also be aware that it would be a highly inappropriate question to ask of the twin brother, especially early on in dating. I would bet that OP would rather like to come off as a forgetful of logic when swooning over a handsome gentleman. That's actually quite a compliment to him, in my opinion.

Haha, No males and females can't be identical twins I know all about twins cause I am one! Identical twins are when an egg splits into two cells and develop into two separate people so their DNA is the same so they can't be two different genders, fraternal twins is when two separate eggs with different DNA develop at the same time so technically fraternal twins are no more alike than normal siblings and identical twins have the same DNA, now you know :)

People, it's absolutely positively impossible for there to be a boy and a girl to be identical twins. They're not identical when their downstairs are different.

Don't worry nerves happen that shows no reflection on your intelagence. ( sorry if I spelled that last word wrong spelling is not my strong point)

It actually wasn't a bad question because some sets of twins aren't identical. Two of my friends are twins and they look nothing alike.

ones a boy and the other was a girl, so it is a bad question, or to her it is... i mean if you had a twin of the opposite sex would you like to be asked if you were identical?

Lmfaoanl. : ):P. I would say that on Purpose
