LOL, you want a story? How about a book.I was at a house party, I’ll just guess that I was 15, grade 10. There was some drinking going on. A girl cornered me in the kitchen, guess she’d had the hots for me, so we spent some time making out. Now I’m not proud of this. The girl was a bit overweight and had braces, and had a nickname – “The Duck”. So I get back to school, and one of the older guys comes up to me and says, “You were making out with the Duck??” Being an immature idiot, I desperately wanted to fit in, and clearly making out with the Duck wasn’t doing anything for my cred. So I found her and said I’d been really drunk and did anything happen? She got the message and we didn’t talk again.Fast forward to grade 12. The Duck got seriously into swimming, slimmed down and lost the braces. We were in a class together that I was having no trouble with, and she didn’t get at all. She asked me to come over to her place to help her study. Which we did. But some very serious chemistry flared. We had a massive make-out session, and that kicked off a very interesting relationship.It was complicated, for reasons I won’t bother you with. But it was a very fun time, for a year or more. After the benefits, we stayed friends.

when i was 15, i made the mistake of telling a boyfriend i loved him, and it scared him away. we broke up and i was miserable, yada yada yada. a few years later, when we had both grown up a little and were what you would call friends, he admitted to me that he had fallen in love with me. but by then it was too late - i had moved on. we tried to remain friends, but now three years later, we're no longer in contact.
at 20 years old, i met a very handsome man slightly older than myself. he approached me for a date and i rejected him for extremely stupid reasons. i came to my senses a short while later and asked him to hang out with me (expecting to be turned down because of the way I treated him). surprisingly, he said yes. we've been dating steadily for about five months now.
sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. but if you're rejected, don't fret and don't hesitate to move on. if it's meant to be, things will happen. if not, don't worry, because something better is likely coming your way one day. :)
