Forums - General - I pulled a horrible prank on my cousin will he ever forgive me?

That was a really cruel prank there. Borderline harassment if you ask me. People who have never had anyone to love romantically know the pain of lonliness all too well. The fact that you did it as a prank will make him feel absolutely worthless. If he was dealing with any sort of mild depression beforehand, this event could cause him to fall deep into depression and in even severe cases suicidal. I'm just going off of my own judgment here because if this happened to me I know I would never be able to get over it.

The only thing I can recommend is to find a way to make it up to him. Also don't be too invasive and give him the time he needs to be alone when he needs it. I hope he gets better. Good luck.

So my cousin Jim is 18 years old now and he is a bit shy and timid around girls and has never had a girlfriend or even any friends. Although he is a pretty smart kid at school and excels in each class. So me and my other cousin Tom love to tease him a lot for our amusement (yes it's horrible and we shouldn't..). But he is always nice about it and never gets mad at us.. perhaps because he knows we are bigger than him and he can't hurt us? or maybe its just that he has a kind heart, that could also be a reason why.  So anyways recently my other cousin Tom suggested we should ask one of our female friends to "pretend" to like Jim and show interest in him.. We thought that would be hilarious.  At first our friend Ashley was hesitant to do it but we finally convinced her.. We told her no kissing or making out just make him feel good and pretend you like him romantically.. So for the entire week Ashley was talking to Jim, she was texting him , going to movies etc.  Eventually, Jim became so utterly happy I had never seen him like this before. We thought it was amusing and we couldn't help but laugh.. but Ashley insisted that it should be over and we should just tell him it was a prank because shes tired of pretending. So the 3 of us decided to invite him to my place to tell him. When he arrived he had flowers with him which he gave to Ashley..  I saw the look on his face he had the most happiest face i had seen in my life(not exagerrating).  So then Jim looks at me and Tom and he hugs us saying "guys I just wanna thank you for arranging a date between me and Ashley if it wasnt for you i would never meet her!"  And then something shocking happened which made me feel horrible..  he started weeping out of joy and saying he thought he would never have a girl to like him ever but he is glad that that isn't true any longer..  At this point, Ashley was just looking down out of guilt and embarassment and Tom just gave me a look that said "you tell him..".    Thus, I had to find the courage to calmly explain to Jim that Ashley was in fact hired by us to pretend to like you for a week because we thought it would be funny however we are sorry because we did not realize that this could potentially hurt your feelings..    Suddenly, Jim's whole faced changed and he was in disbelief he looked at Ashley and said "is this really true?"  and Ashley said "Im really sorry Jim.. your a nice kid".    Then Jim abruptly left my house.   I tried texting him and calling him but he doesn't want to reply.

This is the first time Jim has been mad at me or Tom.. I think this was a horrible prank and how can I apologize to him? What should i do?

Update:  A lot of people are wondering if I may be joking about the whole thing, unfortunately i didn't make it up and it all really happened. I wish I could go back and cancel the whole prank but I can't do that. I have tried contacting my cousin Jim and still no luck.. his parents told me that he doesn't want to talk to me or Tom. I just hope he is ok thats all i care about at this point.

if even 10% of this story is true then you are scum.  You deserve shame, you deserve ridicule,and you deserve a quill in your eye. Seriously, how dare you. 

That's some cartoon villain shit, right there.

I hope you'll find it in your heart to repent what you've done every day for the rest of your life!

It's absolutely unbelievable how you violated that line of trust between a FAMILY MEMBER. You should be lucky you got off easy for emotionally and psychologically damaging your cousin. You can be forgiven on many acts but I wouldn't see it anytime soon or ever in your case ...

This disgusting topic needs to be closed and never touched upon EVER AGAIN ...

Edit: You want to know about his well being ? After what you pulled off you have no right ...



so, is ashley available?



Watch your back, Jim is pissed off.

I can only imagine 2 thing after this.

Either Jim will commit suicide or he'll commit homicide by shoot you, that chick and Tom with a gun.

You three just destroyed a man's life. Be prepare for what about to happen next!

Only for a week.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I obviously don't know anything about you or Jim. But from what I read, I think he'll forgive you sometime, but not too soon. But even if that's the case, you should continue to feel sorry indefinitely. Hopefully you learned something from that. Always treat other people the way you like to be treated.

I won't point my finger at you though like so many other people do in this thread. We all do stupid things we regret afterwards, I don't believe anyone in here has been a perfect person for all their lives. At least you had the courage to actually tell him the truth. I know enough people who would have been like "I don't know what that crazy bitch's talking about!" or something in such a situation. Hell, I don't even know if I were honest if I was that cornered.

My take on what you said (assuming your UPDATE reassuring us it is real lol)

Version 1:
Ashley reaction to me indicates that she told him about the prank because she felt guilty about it, because any decent woman after a guy said all those nice words, would have stepped in and said "Yes thank guys for setting us up" then a few weeks later would have said don't think it is working and you should split up.

So assuming she did tell him about the prank, Jim played an Oscar winning performance and is now punking your ass lol.


Version 2 (probably the reality):
You fucked with his emotions and Ashley was gutless and wanted you to admit to the prank. Now he will hate you forever, may turn to drugs, turn to eating and gain a lot of weight. Then eventually worst case may commit suicide. Then on his Gravestone it will say "Thanks DIngDong and Tim for cutting my live short"

Version 2.1:
Instead of actually committing suicide he would pretend to do it and punk your asses at the funeral.

Version 3.0 (pray this never happens):
He has no trust in women and love any more and turns into a serial killer.

That would actually be a pretty fitting payback.
