TIFU by telling a British girl I am crushing on that Elton John was my favorite member of the Beatles

And yes I realize I am not helping the ignorant American stereotype here.

Story is pretty straightforward. I work with a British woman, we get a long well and often talk about stuff from Britain like Dr. Who and Cats Does Countdown. We also have normal conversations.

I also want to have babies with her because she is beautiful smart and funny, but I am trying to build a real friendship first so that I don’t come across as a creepy coworker hitting on her.

Anyway, today we were talking about British music and I mentioned that Elton John was my favorite former Beatles member. She just kind of just looked at me, so I tried to save face by saying he was the most successful with his solo career at least. She started explaining that he was never in the Beatles then had to go help a customer. She did not look amused.

Well, I fucked this one up.

EDIT: I also lied about liking Elton John, I just wanted to mention him because he is British. I am now listening to every song he has ever made and learning all Elton John facts that the internet will give me.

EDIT2: Well I tried to take your advice and salvage this Reddit but as usual I fucked it up and she blocked me on Facebook. I will never attempt to speak to her again.

EDIT3: I stopped replying because apparently I’m an incel now 🙁 I was literally trying to be the opposite of that by genuinely building up a relationship. Things were going well we even planned to see a movie together soon. I just panicked and said some stupid shit and ruined it. Y’all are making me think going forward I should just walk up to a women and say “Hey wanna fuck?”

TL;DR: Title
