oh dear...I have some stories
6th grade: liked a girl. told one guy. he let it slip to someone when she was nearby. next day at school, she wouldn't speak to me and everyone was talking about it, trying to give me advice and whatnot.
7th grade: one week into the school year, i wrote a girl a poem and became crazy obsessed and everyone called me a stalker. people were always asking her out for me (sadly). i was used (kind of) by her and became depressed (she is still a ***** to me). i made some serious mistakes. like trying to find out all sorts of stuff about her.
8th grade: still liked the girl from 7th, but didnt have any classes with her. began to have a small crush on another girl i was friends with that didnt last long.
9th grade: end of 7th grade crush. new crush on an awesome girl that liked anime and whatnot and was really pretty. we were kind-of friends, and all sorts of people thought we would make a good couple. they decided to take matters into their own hands and ask her out for me. a lot. she stopped speaking to me or even looking at me.
10th grade: theres a girl I've never spoken to who is really cute and seems nice. I'm too shy to approach her in real life so I've been complimenting her anonymously on her formspring. My only friend is friends with her, and has offered to help nudge me into meeting her, but before that she said that i didn't have a chance with her (which is true. not only is she out of my league, but she is also into a completely different style than me). this has potential to become a romance fail very easily if i attempt communication.
