Incoming friend zone story...but with legitimate complaints. Probably long too. Probably not worth the wall of text.
So, I was 15 when this new foreign girl came to my school. When I first saw her in class I thought "Well, that's a strong accent. She's going to be mocked." and thought nothing of it. Sometimes I'd see her before school waiting otuside the library like I do, so I cna sit down indoors, and she'd often be smiling politely as I walked past. She was in my english class and my extension my religious educaiton class.
One lesson we had to talk about things we liked, and this is when I discovered we had something rare incommon, which I thought was pretty suprising. During break I asked her what she did at the weekend, and she said nothing much, and I purposely let it slip I was doing the common interest. So we talked a little, and when break ended she walked off with a smile and "Thanks". We became friends, which I thought was all fine and dandy. We start making jokes in class, she became one of the people I'd regularly play chess with in the library in lunch. Then I screwed it up. I got feelings for her. The first girl I'd ever had much incommon with. She made me smile for no reason and she made me not feel like a loser. She'd wink when she saw me, and on non-uniform day it took me the entire day to say "You look nice today" because everytime I thought about I felt close to throwing up. We'd tlak over MSN for hours, even passed midnight. This girl was the reason I got MSN and Facebook, and I don't regret either of those choices if they were the only gain of this.
The main problem started when my friends, being immature assumed that if I actually spend time with a girl, I must fancy her, unfortunately they were right, even without getting confirmation, and stating making lewd gestures behind her back and telling everyone to piss me off. Then I thought I had to tell her before she found out like this, being mocked behind her back. So being the sad person I am, I told her best friend that she could tell her. She then messaged me on MSN that day to talk about, and said she didn't want to date anyone until she was 17, and I thought that was fine. Give her a chance for it to soak in, and see if we can remain close friends for that long, and then I could aks her and then she could say yes and we could tyr it, or she could sya no and I could stop worrying.
Then at some point she switched her main interest to twilight and started going to the gym a lot. At one point she messaged me on Facebook jokingly saying "I don't know why you like me, I'm so fat XD". To which I responded with all the reasons I could fathom that I like her. Then we started a conversation where she said what she thinks of me. "Unique, thoughtful, and actually kinda cute". The lesosn of this story is obviously not cute enough, as will get explained later. Having this cute moment we were, she then said "The only reason I wouldn't date you is because we live too far away", which was resonable since despite going to the same school, we lived about an hours drive apart. I said I'd be willing to take the train. she said she didn't like one sided relationships. Here comes the kick in the teeth.
The next day we were walking to class together and she said she's seeing someone. I was in instant despair.
So my knee jerk reaction was "Good for you". She said thanks. Then I stopped and thought to myself. "How far away does he live?". She avoided the question, and I only managed to found out through rumour who the guy was. It was the asshole who whenever she was present would insult everyone including me and her best friend, then compliment her. And he lives very close to me. I felt like I had been screwed with. It ended after three days, so nothing at all serious happened. She said she missed being single. When I finally got an explaination she said she just wanted to do something spontaneous, and she doesn't want a boyfriend. (Yes, that's right, the Twi-hard that I watched Twilight with which was for her and her friend the 15th time so they knew all the words, DOESN'T WANT A BOYFRIEND. This obviously where I get self conscious and think "Obviously not cute enough")
She made me feel sad, and so she finally got to see my normal face that looks very depressing, and so she thought I was depressed. We went to different Colleges and barely talk now, which I think will fuel a possible diea of hers that I only wnated to eb friends to date her, which isn't true, we just don't have much incommon anymore and she screwed with me. She has new friends at her college, and once after she went to a new college her Facebook status changed to in a relationship, with a status that said "Having a boyfriend feels weird XD". She switched back to single with an hour so it could've been a frape.
So yeah, that made me sad about my first and only attempt at a relationship. I have the skills of getting screwed over BEFORE I actually start a relationship. Ain't I great? And I'm sorry that you actually read all this if you did because it's not very climactic compared to other people's. Also this isn't the first told I've said this story on this website. It's pretty much my only story (sad or otherwise) in my uneventful life. Sorry for possible typos, it's a big post.
EDIT: Some part of this she said she'd prefer a good friend to a boyfriend, which I thought was ok. And at a later point, in two IM posts, right after eachother said "I think I love you" "Like a brother, you know"
The painful thing is that in the early parts she never gave me a straight yes or no, then got my hopes up, that screwed me over. Only to bother getting things clear at the end, and even then it's a pretty hard pill to shallow that the type of girl that obsesses over Twilight isn't interested in a boyfriend. Or maybe that seems obvious to you, because you may think they'd never settle for real people.
