Head over heels for a girl.

[BOZ]

If it makes you feel any better, I think you're a little better off than I was then. I was so afraid of rejection I could never get up the nerve to ask a girl out, even when it was painfully obvious to everyone else that she was into me. Eventually, they'd figure I wasn't interested and go away. And THEN I'd realize, and... well, you get the idea. Being in these sorts of situations can cloud one's judgement.

dude, i hear you. i was there myself until about the age of 23 or so. after that it didn't take me too long to catch on - i got married at 27.

I can't give advice, since I struggle with dating issues, too. The way I dealt with it is to not deal with it. I'm focusing on my own my "self-improvement" through school and career (school's finished, career welll...) instead of caring whom I'm dating.

yes, you've been grounded! now don't come out of your room until you've learned your lesson!

You sure that's wise? There's some pretty neat stuff in my room*

*now that is. In my childhood home, the room was smaller, two beds, no TV or computer, and electric heat.

Nice job everyone.

I'm kind of shocked that one of these things worked out without a complete and total disaster of a thread.

Good luck, man. I'm just telling you what I wish someone had told me when I was sixteen and agonizing over Rose Reitzel-Perry, the lovely sardonic poet who sent me letters with e.e. cummings passages.

And I wish someone had told me that when LC said 'I'm a bit busy at the moment', she didn't mean 'ask me again in a few weeks'. What she actually meant was 'Don't be ridiculous, I go out with 19 year olds with cars and jobs, not schoolboys'.

This sort of thing makes me glad my teenage years are far behind me.

I'm glad my teenage years are behind me, but I'm starting to wish they weren't quite as far behind me...

i've known ferret long enough to figure he was a more reasonable fellow than a lot of people were taking him for. of course, i had no idea he was so young!

Ah.... unrequited lust. That intangible emotion that caused sharp pain in the...err....hea...heart....

My favorite story was actually have this gorgeous red head agree to go out with me. We had a great time and seemed to enjoyed each other's company. Of course, I was a teenager and did not know that rules existed such as "do not call her 20 times a day when she had not responded to the first message."

I had even scored a second date confirmed at the end of the first, but those hormones. Yeech! If only I had known then what I know now....

LMAO!


Just for the record I'm 16, turning 17 in 3 months.
