I said I'd keep my love life (or lack thereof) a secret, but I might as well spill a couple failed experiences.
2 years ago, when I was 17, there was this girl from the golf team that I thought was pretty cute. Took a few months for me to tell her my feelings. I got rejected, but she left me with an encouraging message telling me not to give up on finding that special someone someday. It did kinda hurt, but at least I anticipated that she didn't like me back. If anything, this was nothing compared to what happened earlier this year.
What happened earlier this year, you ask? I came to like another girl--one from one of my classes. She was quite friendly to me, almost to a flirting extent. I enjoyed sitting next to her in class, at least for a while. So Valentine's Day comes around and I ask for her number. I text her that evening and she texts back, asking who I am (even though I clearly introduced myself in the text I sent her).
And then...I called her back the next day. She answered, and started talking to me, in a not-so-happy mood. I couldn't exactly make out what she was saying, but I knew it wasn't good. So I messaged her on Facebook asking her to clarify what she said, and what did she say? She says she only likes me as a friend. Okay. Standard rejection fare. But the next part of her message? She says that we should only talk to each other in class and not outside of class.
I was in shock. She only wants to contain whatever friendship we still have within class? I said not a word to her in class the next chance I saw her. It took me a month to recover emotionally.
I was not alone in love-related things going into epic fail territory though. My younger cousin in Pinole, who I hold much respect for, broke up with his girlfriend over her mom apparently finding out about something. He couldn't push himself to find out the truth. And then my other friend was in a bit of a panic over a long-distance relationship. I guess V-Day causes more broken hearts than united ones...or something like that.
That's all I have to say...for now.

Yeah, class-only friendships are becoming increasingly common these days. It's pretty lame and sad.
Well, as long as we're sharing failures, I might as well post the most notable one I've got.
So, I mentioned being single for a few months now since the end of a 10 month relationship earlier, well, it was a fairly serious relationship, and there were multiple points throughout where we'd talked about solidifying it with something a little more tangible, gold, and shiny. Toward the end of the summer, we started fighting a lot, due to tons of stress in both of our lives (her busy internship, my failing out of engineering, and the death of my last remaining grandfather), and she decided to break up with me. When asked why, she initially gave a bunch of bullshit answers that didn't add up. Finally she admitted that it was because she didn't feel like it was worth it to put forth any sort of effort to try to fix things.
I was pretty much struck dumb... I could come up with 10 months of "worth it," and for someone who said that she had no regrets about the relationship, the fact that she was unwilling to put forth a single once of effort now, since she hadn't done so at any point previous didn't help.
I figured it all out later, though... she didn't really care all that much to begin with. I was pretty much being used.

Everyone also goes through that sort of situation at least once in their life. Relax bro, it maybe because the girl has other priorities, such as focusing on her studies among others, that's why she said that she only wants to talk to you during class. On the flipside, at least she was honest about how she feels and that she didn't give you any false hope or use you...
@cmspaz OUCH... I feel your pain...

QUOTE (fuji* @ Today at 12:32 AM) | Lol. That's true, but remember, how would our racing gene's go any further in our life time without a girl by your side? I wish i had a nice girlfriend =_=. |
If you're doing it right, she's in the car directly next to you or slightly behind you. If you're doing it wrong, she's ahead, or sitting at home pouting about you spending time with your car. I've tried to keep my interest limited to girls inside (or close to) the local car community, so that I can be sure that my car won't get neglected down the road. I'd honestly like a gf right now, but I'd also like to move back out of my parents' house first.

QUOTE (fuji* @ Today at 12:42 AM) | Lol i kno how that feels. I brought my friend to my room ( a girl) to look at some old year books we were in back in middle school. We stayed in my room quiet awhile and my parents thought we were up to something. Sure they trust me with 1 or 2 girls but 1 girl? Come on =_= |
Now that's rather odd...
