I have a boyfriend! I've posted about my stalking habits a few times before, so bear with me if you've already read this stuff, haha.</p>

<p>So basically, I "stalked" my boyfriend for two years before we dated. I met him freshman year; we had one class together (we've had exactly one class together every year from 9th to 11th grade) and he IMed me once to ask about homework in a different class. I don't remember how he got my SN, but we started talking increasingly more online. But we didn't talk in school, lol, which makes us sound like SUPERAWKWARDNERDS but it's not that; it's just that we didn't really have any occasion to do so. </p>

<p>So umm... then I... jokingly?... started stalking him, lol. I took pictures of his house; watched him play basketball out a friend's window; memorized his address, phone number, and parents' names; convinced him to take pictures of the inside of his house for me to keep; found pictures of him from elementary and middle school (and a baby picture); tried to learn his family's language (Gujarati); and eventually found out his social security number. This stalking was over the course of two years, from freshman year to junior year, with an eight-month break when I had a boyfriend and then another like three-week break with a rebound boyfriend, haha. </p>

<p>Side note about the SSN: He found out that I had it, and the next day, I came into English, the one class we had together, and said, "Guess what I just did during Computer Science!" He was like "What?" so I told him, excitedly, "I opened a bank account for you with your SSN!!! " Lmao the look on his face was priceless; he was terrified. (I didn't actually do it, but it would have been hilarious.) </p>

<p>Uhmmm so after the second boyfriend and I broke up, I fell hard for this guy again and started getting really frustrated that we, like, never talked... pursued him aggressively... made him sit next to me on the bus to math team meets (lmao)... etc. And one time we decided to hang out; it wasn't awkward so we decided to hang out again, and that time he decided that he was in love with me! It'll be six months the day after tomorrow. And we have five classes together next year!! Also, we do HW and apps and stuff together a lot of the time. </p>

<p>Hahaha wowww... I doubt anyone cares... but it's fun to talk about. :]

<p>@ ARLove: It's okay, just think of how much free time you'll have when you get that last application mailed in! I mean, there'll still be schoolwork, and there'll still be stress, but the bulk of the work will be over before your first semester ends (and maybe even before first quarter ends, if you get all of the involved stuff done early!)</p>

<p>@ BKR: You have no idea. XD</p>

<p>My boyfriend and I never had a class together lol. He got his GED and works nights so it works out quite nicely :).</p>

<p>@Poseur: Haha, that's an awesome story. :)</p>

<p>Mine isn't nearly as interesting. I just happened to be taking every band class I could my senior year, and in two of them I had a freshman boy sitting next to me (he played the same instrument as me). He was a cool kid, and I kind of "adopted" three of the freshman boys in band that year, including him. We mostly just talked in school until right before winter break, when we started talking online a lot - during winter break we were staying up until sometimes 1:00 AM talking on MSN. By the time we got back to school I had really fallen hard for him, but I figured he'd rather date someone his age, so I didn't really pursue it.</p>

<p>A couple weeks later our jazz band went on a weekend retreat, and we spent so much time together that weekend that the band got gossipy. A couple days after we got back we - with some prodding from a mutual friend - took a walk and talked things over. We decided to have a trial run to see how things went. We went on a date that weekend and it went so well that he asked me out a couple weeks later. We've been together ever since.</p>

25

<p>@ bandnerd: Awww, that's cute. It's been three years now?! Wow!! : ] There was a couple at my school that was a senior girl and a freshman boy, but I think they broke up. It's no big deal; most adult couples are like four years apart lol.</p>

26

<p>nope. waiting for college...all the guys i know are either hot/not smart or smart/not hot. i know kinda shallow but i want the best of both! hopefully college will be better...aside from the random "hookups" lol</p>

27

<p>i get annoyed because there was this person i met over the summer and it turns out he lives out of country, but the country is like right next to here (albeit it'd be impossible to drive and plane flights would take an hour)
so i thought ok wtv we'll probably talk on the computer and stuff
and he's too obsessed over games to log on >:(</p>

<p>of course, we're not dating. :P what happened over summer stays in the summer :D</p>

28

<p>^^^It was two and a half last month. :)</p>

<p>But yeah, we've never seen the age difference as a big deal. Before we started going out we discussed it and we figured that since five years down the road it wouldn't matter (he'd be 20, I'd be 23) it shouldn't matter now. We got a couple comments on it at first but now no one even mentions it, except when they first find out. And I don't look 20, so a lot of times people assume I'm his age or even younger. (Someone last year who knew me for MONTHS thought I was a sophomore and was surprised to find out how old I was. And when my mom and I went to register my sister for sixth grade (this was just last summer, BTW) they thought that I was the one we were registering. D: )</p>

<p>i have a problem with looking too old when im in america and too young when im here. cuz here the kids follow a rigorous academic schedule and i go to a different kind of school so im not wearing a uniform, im out on the wrong vacation days, etc. so they assume that im just an old-looking 6th grader (because up till 6th grade, the uniforms, academics, etc don't apply as harshly) which im so not</p>

<p>and in america i have problems with people thinking im a college student. i visited berkeley once and i almost didn't get my discount on the tower (17+ is 2 bucks anything lower is 1)
and upcoming freshman there were looking at me almost as if to ask what major i was.</p>

<p>high school relationships...lol</p>

I don't have plans to find a [strike]girlfriend[/strike] boyfriend anytime soon. I'm not going to actively look for one. I have better things to occupy my time. Like the Internet.

</p>

<p>Couldn't have said it better.</p>

31

<p>No, have never. My standards are probably too high; while I joke with my parents that I can't even consider talking to any girl with a 'B', it really isn't that far from the truth. I don't find any attraction to dumb girls. That limits the selection, so to speak.</p>

<p>And I have no social skills, which doesn't help either.</p>

<p>Edit: Poseur, that is incredibly impressive you found out his SSN without directly asking him.</p>

32

<p>LOL
i love nerds like amciw (no offense if you don't want to be classified as this XD im just assuming this from the "no girl with a B" thing) who aren't very talkative, smile a lot, and are awkwardly tall. i have a soft side for people like that :D
it's so amusing and at the same time enjoyable to talk to them :) and i don't mean that sarcastically</p>

<p>what's up amciw XD</p>

33

<p>I'm not tall, and don't smile, and the "girl with a 'B'" thing was really a joke. That being said, your perception of me is probably accurate.</p>

<p>What does XD mean, anyways? Based on the all the forums I've been to/seen, they are primarily used by girls-I've never used them, for sure.</p>

34

<p>No one answer him! I want him to always wonder what "XD" means (since I forgot to address it in that one message.)</p>

<p>And thank you, although I admit that the commendable stalking skills really belong to two of my friends, who subtly memorized it off of a school form on which he was inadvertently displaying it.</p>

<p>Ironically, when he found out, his reaction was "I've got two options: I can either kill you... or marry you." Prophetic, kind of, considering that I thought a relationship entirely out of the question until a few months later!</p>

35

<p>I'll offer a large part (50%) of my projected future wealth to whoever tells me...(: Its five seconds to type, and with a 15 million dollar reward, well, you can see what kind of money per hour we are talking about. You wouldn't want to pass up such a rare opportunity.</p>

<p>Seriously, though, isn't my observation correct? I really never see guys using it.</p>

<p>Exploiting resources is an integral part of stalking, though. You still deserve credit.</p>

<p>And he forgot his</a> third option.</p>

36

<p>My "story" is basically an exact mixture of romani's and bandnerd's. My boyfriend dropped out of school his junior year and got his GED and works a lot (and is going to take courses at community college), AND he's 20 and I'm 17. My parents weren't huge fans at first...</p>

37

<p>Not since last November ^^</p>

<p>The dating pool out here could use a little chlorine.</p>

38

<p>Why do you mock me.... ;)</p>

39

<p>Nope. I've never had one and it doesn't look like I'm getting one any time soon. I would like one, but there's always someone else. Always. </p>

<p>When I do finally get a boyfriend, I fear I will be terribly unexperienced. Every single one of my friends has dated someone, and recently.</p>

<p>My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 months now (we got together the end of Junior year, we're both rising seniors now). He's an athlete (football & baseball) and so he has a busy schedule even if it wasn't senior years. I'm in a lot of demanding classes where I'll have homework in atleast half of them every night, not to mention I have to take Yearbook pictures, I'm on the Speech Team, and if we ever start NHS meetings. All this not counting senior stuff. We also go to different schools so seeing each other during the school day isn't possible. We also both have jobs. So last year what we did is I would go and watch his baseball games && then spend time with him after and then if we both had a day off on the weekend we would also hang out then..</p>

<p>This year I will go to most of his football games and hang with him after but thats only once a week & we will probably get together a few other times during the week when we both aren't too busy after school (after his practice of course) we also always see each other on half days. This also doesn't prevent us from seeing our other friends because we can hang out with them the rest of the week so. It's nice. </p>

<p>As for the college aps, the aps themselves aren't that tidious, it's the essays. So (once I start, a few of the aps for my college choices aren't up so I'm waiting) I'm planning on sitting down to do the actual aps once or twice a week (prolly Sunday or something, and a non-busy week night) and he has a similar plan. Since we both usually work on Sundays we won't be around each other and stuff. As for essays, I'm just working a little bit at a time, usually in my study hall. </p>

<p>And think of it this way, application season is only so long, then you and your girlfriend can enjoy your senior year and have fun!</p>
