Yeah, I've known this girl for about 4 years now, and I like her a lot. When we first met at an after school art center, I was standing by myself, filling out my registration, and she comes over and says "Um.. Hey. We have the same book bag. You wanna come sit with me and my friends?"
So I figured sure, why not? I sat with her, we talked, and we found out we were actually taking almost all the same classes. We hung out during classes, and we had a lot of fun. Eventually I asked her out.
Now, what happened next seems to be a cursed of mine, as this type of thing happens every time I ask a girl out.
We went and saw a movie, and we had fun, we were laughing and goofing around, etc... We went out a couple more times, and I though things were going great. Then one day, I was talking to her on the phone, and I find out she already HAD a boyfriend the whole time, and only saw me as a friend. She never even realized I had asked her on a date!
So, I just kinda smoothed over that little bump in the conversation, and we kept talking for a while.
The next day at the arts center, it was kinda awkward talking to her, but she didn't seem to notice. to this day, I still don't think she realized I liked her back then.
So we kept hanging out at the center, but that was about it. Eventually, I graduated, and we lost contact for a while. She was a year younger than me, and still had one more year before college. Then one day, I figured I'd email her and say hi. We started talking a lot again after that.
I found out over time that her boyfriend was, apparently, a real ass. He had broken up with her, right before the prom, for some freshman girl. They eventually got back together, I'm not sure of the details, though...
Anyway, skip ahead to a month or two ago. She had recently been talking about how lonely she was. Even though she was still dating this guy, he went to a different college many hours away, so he only came to see her every six months.
Skip ahead to last week, I kept trying to talk to her over instant messenger, but she was feeling sick and was very tired all the time. So, instead of continuing to bother her on IM when she was feeling ill, I sent her an email telling her how I felt. I said that I knew she was still with this other guy, and I respected that, I just wanted her to know how I felt.
Unfortunately, this was one of the periods when her boyfriend was in town. I thought he wasn't going to be around for a while.
So, now I've probably got her all upset and confused. If I had known she had seen her boyfriend recently, I would've waited to tell her.
So, now we still talk on I'm once in a while. She is no longer feeling sick, and I don't think she's mad at me...
I still feel really stupid for telling her at the wrong time, though. I mean, if her boyfriend had not been around in a while, she may have had a more positive reaction.
Meh, girl troubles...
Whats your story, Yodaman?
If the good lord had intended us to go outside or have a social life, he wouldn't have invented the internet.
