<p>My romantic life? .........nonexistant. End of story. </p>

<p>It's kind of sad really.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>that sucks, im sorry</p>

<p>me:
6th grade- "boyfriend" for like 2 months... we did stuff like go see spiderman hahaha
7th grade- spent most of my time trying to avoid bf from 6th grade.<br>
summer- first crush (a girl)- but i didnt understand at the time
8th grade- diff boyfriend
9th grade- fell in love with my [straight] best friend. um, sucked. awkward. annoying.<br>
early summer- hooked up with 2 girls. first girlfriend, at a summer program. good but short (3 weeks) relationship-> she went back to ny, i went back to ca, we're still friends.<br>
later summer- went to mexico and hooked up with a few boys (from clubs/bars) and girls (friends who were on the trip too)
10th- another crush on a girl, but she was taken, we were friends... she later moved to ny, and then killed herself a few months ago :'-(. i came out to friends etc. hooked up with girls at parties but no one special.
summer/11th- girlfriend, became long distance, she was amazing.... and then it ended horribly (last month). hey, the good thing about long distance is that when its over you REALLY dont have to see them. not interested in relationships for the time. girls are mean :(</p>

<p>Romantic Life?</p>

<p>I don't have one. That's what you get when you attend an all-boys high school. I'm also introverted and quiet, so I guess that doesn't help either. I'll probably be screwed socially when I go to college.</p>

<p>I like keeping members of the opposite sex as friends, and maybe sometimes just a tad more (although it never reaches the range of romantic relationship), but I never admit it because I don't find it necessary at the moment.
Plus whenever I like someone just a bit, I always have a way in the future of telling myself that I was just being silly and foolish. If I did like someone, it would be for the heart, intellect, and warmth of the person, not the physical appearance. And I have, although I've never admitted it to the person or my friends.
Also, I don't look for relationships. I don't say things like, "omfgoossh ive neva hadz a date in mah lyff i needa get onee!11" simply because I don't believe in the phrase, "getting" someone. Perhaps I am overly critical of this phrase, but it seems to me to be implying that people are objects that can be bought off of the shelf like grocery items. It also tells me that the person who says that phrase wants a bf/gf purely for the purpose of having someone with the title "boyfriend/girlfriend," rather than true love for the person. I think that's cheap and repulsive. In my opinion it's like chaining a member of the opposite sex to you purely so that you can express your lust for that person and perform whatever moves of "affection," rather than actually mutually bonding with that person truly because of affection and using physical shows of affection to show that you love that person in the truest way.
I'm sorry if I don't sound very normal to you. I've been known to not be normal. And I post this without the intention of conflicting with anyone so if we have conflicting opinions that's okay. This is just how I see it and I guess I would be fine if only myself and my own little mind supported this idea. That's when the world of dreams is so much better than reality and sleeping is so much better than being aware of that disappointing reality. :)</p>

<p>I have come to the realization that I can't have a bf. I am the stereotypical smart girl, I have always been that way. Guys don't like me, they ask me for homework. I am tall and gangly, not strikingly beautiful, but an individual easily nervous. If someone decided they liked me, the stigma surrounding that would be ridiculous. "OMG, he likes her! That brain with legs?"</p>

<p>Tis my eternal problem. I have been pigeonholed.</p>

<p>Hm. My relationships in high school have not entirely sucked.</p>

<p>Freshman year I was just testing the water, and had a few crushes but nothing that actually went any further.</p>

<p>Sophomore year was my year of stupidity. I had a huge crush on a senior from another school that went to my church. He was actually my first kiss (yikes, embarassing) and we would usually flirt constantly, but he had a girlfriend that he met on the internet (he had met her in person though). However, he cheated on her with me constantly, and I was always angst-ridden and feeling used. He asked me to his prom, but only as a backup date because his girlfriend was grounded. I eventually told him off, and I got the last laugh when his girlfriend dumped his sorry butt. Oh- but it gets better- his girlfriend was bisexual and dumped him for a girl. xD I don't really talk to him anymore. Going to church has been awkward ever since.</p>

<p>Junior year I met a pretty nice guy through a friend of mine. He was a year younger than me but sweet, and cared the world about me. Unfortunately I was still learning how to act in relationships, and did some rather silly things that I now regret. He had his share of problems, however, which included Tourette's and hearing voices/seeing things, plus some depression. In the end, I found him to be too clingy. He was sweet, yes, but it wound up not working because he always wanted to be around me and I wanted some time to myself. I dumped him after two months, but we still talk. It wasn't a bad breakup and we're still friends- he actually always comes to me for relationship advice and still says that my mom was nicer to him than his mom ever was.</p>

<p>This year (senior year) I am slightly meh about relationships. I don't particularly want to get involved with anyone and then leave for college and a whole bunch of new possibilities. I've been on a couple of dates but only one has really made me think... hmm, this could work.</p>

<p>Needless to say, I'm satisfied. And it feels beyond weird to type out my whole relationship history and slap it up here for everyone to see. xD</p>

<p>Freshman year-sophomore year - dated a psycho for one year. not too fun, but i learned a lot about how to be in a relationship, what to do and not to do. I wouldn't take it back for the world, even if he was a psycho, overobsessive boyfriend. Why? Because it taught me how to be a better girlfriend</p>

<p>Spring sophomore year - Present : next month will be our two-year anniversary.</p>

<p>We have not had one fight. Ever. </p>

<p>I think that's pretty good for a high-school relationship</p>

<p>thats messed up if u havent had a fight, me and my gf have even taken a break (or more) haha...everybody gets into some kind of conflict, stop holding back that ANGER</p>

<p>i don't know. we've just never had anything to fight about!</p>

<p>I mean, yeah we've gotten mad at each other a few times. But we've never had an argument. Like, back and forth yelling or really-mad-tone-of-voice discussions. </p>

<p>I guess we're just pretty laid back people</p>

<p>7th Grade: </p>

<p>I had a crush on the most popular guy in the grade. He wasn't in my class, but we were in the same math class and he was just so funny. We became really good friends during the last two months of school and then he moved to Ohio (I live in Denmark.) He somehow got my MSN address this year and admitted that he had a HUGE crush on me and that he really regrets not doing anything about it before...</p>

<p>Had my first kiss during the summer of 7th grade with this 16 year-old hottie in Italy. :D</p>

<p>8th Grade: </p>

<p>I didn't have any major crushes or anything that year. Towards the end of the year (age 14), I had a fling with a really hot guy who is two years older than me. He asked me out and we went out a few times. The problem was that although he is smart and intelligent he is also an arrogant snob who just wanted me for things I wasn't willing to give him...The end.</p>

<p>9th Grade (this year): </p>

<p>I had a crush on this one guy in 10th grade for a couple of weeks until he started really talking to me....Then I realized that he's not very smart.</p>

<p>There is one really nice guy in my grade who apparently liked me for as long as he's attended our school (two years.) He's sweet and kind and expressed his feelings for me one day after school, telling me that I'm "funny, nice, and the one who can make his life whole." He's such a nice boy, but I have nothing in common with him and find it hard to speak to him. I felt so horrible, saying that I don't feel the same way, but it would have been even worse to let him believe I was interested.</p>

<p>I started liking a boy in my Danish and French class. We spoke on the phone a lot and then he told me that he likes me and that I'm hot and blablabla. However, by the time he told me that I found out that he's a player and lost interest in him.</p>

<p>I became really good friends with boy who I met through student council (he's the 11th grade rep) and now he's expressed interest in being "more than friends." He's an amazing friend and I don't think I want our relationship to change...</p>

<p>There is another boy in 11th grade (student council boy's friend) who I talk to on MSN a lot (we don't see eachother much during school.) I think I'm beginning to develop feelings for him, but I don't know. Student council boy told me a few weeks ago that he thinks 11thgradeboy#2 likes me. This was BEFORE student council boy started liking me.</p>

<p>I have a friend in 12th grade who is absolutely gorgeous, smart, and funny...I know he likes my personality (as a friend, I assume) and he calls me beautiful and everything, but I'm not even going to bother "pursuing" him because of the age gap.</p>

<p>Ahhh boys.....Yes, I'm pathetic.</p>

<p>"I have come to the realization that I can't have a bf. I am the stereotypical smart girl, I have always been that way. Guys don't like me, they ask me for homework ... If someone decided they liked me, the stigma surrounding that would be ridiculous. "OMG, he likes her! That brain with legs?"
Tis my eternal problem. I have been pigeonholed."</p>

<p>Wow. You basically just summed up my own romantic life =)</p>

<p>But, this problem is somewhat self-inflicted... to be honest, I'm too wrapped up in my own stuff to care about what types of 'signals' guys are putting out. I'll talk and joke (maybe even flirt?) with a guy, but I see those types of encounters as nothing more than brief distractions from the things that I'm truly concerned with-- conversations or meetings with my friends, school (yeah, whatever, I'm a geek =D) projects, or even just getting lunch or taking my books from my locker. Maybe 'distractions' is too strong a word... but the point is, if I'm in line to get lunch, I'll chat and talk with that guy from my PreCalc class... but once I get my salad, I'm on my way, and I don't think anymore of it. I guess I'm too independent for a relationship now? (eh, I hope not, I sound so self-destructive!)</p>

<p>(Oh, and speaking of self-destructive, I think I'm now falling for the guy who has been smitten with my best friend for two years now. I fail at ... everything.)</p>

How funny. I like this one dude who my closest friend likes, and I think he likes her back, but she doesn't know I like him. Eurgh. I don't know whether or not to tell her; should I?</p>

<p>Ooh. That's a sticky situation (I should know, haha). I'm terrible at giving advice... I will say that I don't plan to tell my friend, because a.) she's very sensitive and b.) she doesn't EVER say what she thinks, and instead allows all of her emotions to build up until they explode. I've witnessed these explosions, and they are NOT pretty. So, I think that everybody would be better off if I kept my sad little crush to myself, as it's never going to evolve into anything, anyway (and, yes, that was a teensy bit of bitterness leaking through...)</p>

<p>But, your friend would probably react differently- in fact, your entire situation is most likely different. You know your friend/the guy better than I do...</p>

<p>I just think it would be very awkward. nkjsfldd mfnxiudf nxzmkd uf eriufn bxc eryhfgbzSAEuiwrgthfm Z srdbuf zs erufiz xeriufbiuguzxbeg GBui fvbuirega.</p>
