Pranksters Revealed

April 1st, 2009, 1:27 pm by Tara

Love Bytes asked all of you pranksters to submit some April Fools Day pranks, gags and jokes. And did you ever!  Following are some of the responses.

Fake Ring

My boyfriend took me to an Irish club on April Fools Day. We closed the place down. When he took me home he was rather nervous and excited. He pulled out a box and asked me to open it. It was a ring! He then asked me if I would marry him.  I was so surprised!  I immediately said “yes, of course.: After he left, I called my mom, my sisters and my best friends. I was so excited.

The next morning we met for a late breakfast. I told him I had called my family and friends to give the good news and he immediately became very quiet and uneasy. He then told me that his friends bet him $100 he wouldn’t pull an April Fools prank on me. The ring was fake and the proposal..well it wasn’t for real. I was livid…felt like the biggest fool in the world. I got my purse, stormed out of the restaurant and told him where to go. For weeks after, he would text me, leave messages on my phone and post comments on myspace. He was begging me to accept his apology. I finally took my friends advice and called him. That was 6 years ago…and today we are happily married with a beautiful baby. Humor continues to be a big part of our relationship…it keeps the sparkle in our lives.  — Christina

Fishing Date?

I took my girlfriend to the Island for April Fools Day. I told her we were going to spend the evening fishing on the bay. She hated to fish so she whined a lot, saying she would rather do something else. When we arrived on the Island she wanted to go home. I blindfolded her and told her I had a secret fishing spot just for her.  All she did was complain. Before long we were at our destination. When she opened her eyes she could not believe it as people shouted April Fools Day. We were on a chartered boat with 12 of our best friends celebrating her 30th birthday.  She was speechless. Since then she has never complained about going fishing and every year on her birthday we try to go on the charter boat. April Fools Day is a day we will never forget…an evening filled with laughter, fun and romance.  — Tony

Stolen Car

On New Years Day I decided to pull a joke on my boyfriend. He was in Dallas visiting family and I was home. When he called I told him I had received a ticket for DWI on New Years Eve. That an officer pulled me over, made me take the breathalizer test and then gave me a ticket. I even had my sister collaborate on the joke. When he came home, the joke continued. Two weeks later I received a call from an attorney friend that my boyfriend had contacted. It was then that I had to confess that it was all a joke.

Well he was furious. “Wait till April Fools Day” he kept saying. Well he sure pulled a good one. He came to my office and moved my car in another associates parking place. He then asked my fellow associate to go to lunch with me. When we left for lunch I noticed my car was missing. I immediately went inside the office and said “my car has been ripped off.” Various associates began calling the police department, U.S. & Mexico bridges, etc….alerts were everywhere. Nobody wanted my car to cross into Mexico. After 10 minutes, my lunch partner looked at me and said “isn’t revenge sweet.” I was pissed.  How could I be so gullible…that same morning my boyfriend told me I better watch out. I was definitely the fool.  And you know he even went to the police department the day before to let them know if they received a call about the missing car…it was just a joke.

We’ve now been married for more than 1o years, and to this day we still laugh about the prank.  — Jennifer

Boyfriend Jealous over Guy

February 4th, 2009, 9:00 pm by Tara

My girlfriend and I go to UT-Brownsville and we’ve been dating for 6 months. Brinny has a “best friend” who is male. She always talks about him and text him almost everyday. She tells me that they loved each other (before she met me) but never became lovers cuz he’s separated from his wife. Now she says they’re only “friends.”  I don’t know if I believe her. I got pissed last night and told her to stop talking with him. She says it’s not fair since she’s known him longer than me, and that she loves me as a lover…not him. Am i right to get jealous with this guy? Am i not trusting her? Am i wrong to ask her to stop chatting with him?  - DJ

I would be jealous too! Maybe Brinny wants you to be jealous. This may be her way to show her that you care and love her. It’s hard to say. Whether she’s just playing a jealous game with you or not, the problem is their friendship is longer than the time you’ve been hanging with her. If they are only friends then she should introduce you to him.

At this point, I would try to brush it off, and act as if it doesn’t bother you. If you really think it’s a jealous ploy, I wouldn’t play her game. You’ll have no problem finding other ladies on or off campus.

Love Bytes viewers…what do you think? Is Brinny playing a game? Should David keep hanging with her or dump her? David is looking for advice.  Post your comments now - click “Post a Comment”

Liar Liar

December 10th, 2008, 8:23 pm by Tara

Recently I’ve had an intuition that my boyfriend had been talking with another woman. Lo and behold, I discovered a woman’s intuition is never wrong. Text message inbox showed he had a conversation with a girl whom he had previously kissed while he was involved in another relationship. He also spoke with her for about 10 minutes. Given it was around the Thanksgiving holiday and it could have been an innocent “Happy Thanksgiving” conversation. However the clincher is when I casually asked if he had spoken with this girl, he denied it. At this time he did not know that I already knew he HAD spoken with her and had even deleted the text message. My concern is if the conversation is so innocent, why did he feel the need to lie?

Obviously there are trust issues and trust is one of the base components of the relationship. Why do you have a need to sneak around to find information? The only way you will ever truly trust him is develop deeper and honest communication.  You’re allowing your mind to run wild with basically little or no information. As you wrote, it could have been merely a “Happy Thanksgiving.”

He may have denied it because he would rather not communicate about sensitive things, especially things that might upset you. Trust issues can tear you apart and weaken your love, or bring you closer together and strengthen your true love. It’s up to you how you deal with them.
