MichaelMoore 0 #1 May 2, 2008 Every few years, I like to google peoples names that I knew way back in high school, just out of curiosity/boredom to see if I can find any info about them. Well, after a quick search, I found out the girl I had an enormous infatuation with in high school has just gotten married…..to the same guy she dated throughout high school. I can’t say I’m surprised at this. I guess some things just never change. She was a cheerleader, and the guy she dated was a football jock. I had very strong feelings for this girl. I tried so hard to get to know her and she was always nice to me, but she was always dating this other guy. I guess some things were never meant to be. I can’t explain the intense feelings I had for this girl. I would have laid down my life without question if it meant saving hers. One day after so much frustration, I told her off. I called her a bitch and told her never to talk to me again. Yes, it was stupid, but I didn’t have it in me to be honest about my true feelings. I knew I didn’t have a shot in hell of dating her, with so many people that had the same affections for her. About 6 years ago, I sent her an e-mail telling her what I was doing with my life, and told her it would mean a lot if I got some sort of reply from her. She sent me a response but didn’t reply to the 2nd e-mail I sent her, so I just left it at that. So now, 12 years after high school, she is married to the guy I could never compete with. I really feel like shit. Life just isn’t fair sometimes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aresye 0 #2 May 2, 2008 I've had a similar thing happen to me not too long ago. When I really thought about it, the more it dawned on me that we really weren't the right type for eachother. I mean think of it this way, if she married some football jock, what does that tell you about her taste?Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours.

ElJosh 0 #4 May 2, 2008 Some may call that stalking. The world has a population of 6.5 Billion people. A little less than half of the population is female. Dude, stop pining over a girl that wasn't diggin' ya and hit up one of the other 3 billion still roaming around out there.~El Josh AKA Ruby DS #149 Yes I only have 3 jumps...it's the magic number dude.

MichaelMoore 0 #6 May 2, 2008 So I'm stalking?Nah, I haven't thought about her much in years. The article on the internet just brought back a lot of painful memories. I knew she didn't dig me in high school. Sorry if I sounded creepy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move on to what, a different gender?Seriously, women don't like guys who see themselves as unlovable. They really do want a guy with a sense of humor, especially if that sense of humor looks like Brad Pitt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad Pitt just doesn't do it for me. I think a guy needs to find his own style and be confident with it. Yes, you have to have a sense of humor too. However. you don't have to look like Brad Pitt or Gerard Butler in order to get women to like you. Oh, that's probably not where we were going with this thread though.... Sorry about your loss dude.

Especially when I went back for my 10 year high school reunion! I was actually a cross country and track runner back then, but nowhere near the best, and I kept busy with schoolwork otherwise. You could say I was a late bloomer since I had a baby face growing up. Well at the reunion, I met the guy who finished 2nd in the cross country state championship our senior year and he had a beer belly! I had just quit running a few years before but was still in good shape and had started skydiving. But my revenge was seeing the beautiful girls who wouldn't so much as talk to me back then show up fat, ugly, drinking and smoking. It's enough to make me go "yuck, I can't believe I liked her!"
