Alright, here's mine, btw, for reference, I am currently 16, almost 17 years old and in my senior year of High School:
I usually never even try dating. Last time I asked a girl out was freshman year of high school after I had spent the past 6 months flirting with her World History Class. It got to the point that the clown of the class would make jokes about us kissing in the hallway during group projects (we didn't). I finally got the courage to ask her out and whoopdie doo, turns out she has a boyfriend that I didn't know about. I was pissed cause she led me on so much and never talked to her again after that. I ended up going to homecoming with some friends and having no fun at all. I gave up on dating for a while, even though my denial wasn't that bad.
I went the next two years after that without really talking to any girls much. My mom has always wanted me to ask out my neighbor that I have known since I was 11 months old. She is pretty, and I enjoy spending time with her, and I could literally ask her out at any moment, seeing as we are pretty much closer than friends, but both of us have like this unsaid agreement that it would be awkward, even though we both kind of want to try dating. Its really weird, but I have yet to ask her out at. Idk if I ever will.
Then Junior year comes around and I was hanging out with one of guy friends at the renaissance festival and a girl named Ashley that he had known for a while came along. She wasn't really all that attractive, but we spent a lot of time talking to each other and really hit it off. She was sweet and nice, but kind of depressed and awkward. I decided to ask her to homecoming because I felt obligated to. Homecoming was the weirdest thing ever and I had like no fun at all. We dated for about two weeks after that. She straight up asked me why I hadn't kissed her after about a week, and then when she could tell that I wasn't that into our relationship, she said she wanted to go see the school guidance counselors to help us figure things out. Turns out she was pretty crazy and her parents were rednecks and terrifying. I broke up with her the next day and she just walked away and never looked at me or talked to me again. I tried to forget about her cause I am almost ashamed of dating her.
Sometime in all that mess, my friend Tom, who I had known since eighth grade and sat at my lunch table started dating a girl named Leigha. She started coming to lunch with us about halfway through the school year. She was absolutely gorgeous, and I can honestly say I was kind of jealous. I have a tendency to flirt with any girl I am even friends with, so it just kind of happened with her. Tom kind of noticed but didn't think much of it. Tom was an extremely emotional guy and very submissive, which Leigha, also being somewhat emotional (as are most girls) hated having to deal with. He started to notice us flirting more and it really bothered him. Me and her would walk in the hallway after lunch dead-legging each other and stepping on each other's heels playfully, and Tom had to ask me to stop because it bothered him so much. About two weeks later, he stopped me on my way out after school and asked me "Do you have a thing for Leigha". Of course I lied to him and said no. Later on, they had a fight and she was too depressed and fed up with him to come to school the next day, so she wasn't at lunch with us. He explained what had happened and was angry at her because he thought she was overreacting. The next day, she was there again, and you could tell she was still mad at him. When he went to the lunch line to get him and her food, she told me a slightly different story about what had happened and how she was pissed at him. This went on for about two months until they finally ended things. I didn't see her much after that because I never had her number and only passed her in the halls occasionally. I still had a huge crush on her.
Then when senior year started, I saw Leigha some more in the halls, and she was in the same rec soccer league as both me and Tom. They both absolutely hated each other, and I sided more with her on a lot of their issues. Me and her didn't end up on the same team, but I did whatever I could to talk to her after practices and games, continuing to flirt. When homecoming came around, I thought about asking her, but I hardly ever saw her so I didn't end up asking her to go with me. I wasn't even going to go to homecoming, but I got sucked into going with a group of friends from work.
Homecoming senior year was a heck of a ride. It was the first school dance I have ever had fun at. I ran into my neighbor and ended up slow dancing with her and it was really romantic, and I didn't know what to think, but then I ran into Leigha there too, and we ended up dancing for like 2 hours, a couple of slow dances and what not. I ended up dancing with Leigha till the very end, and got her number afterward, then just left. I knew I messed up by not staying and talking to her more that night. I ended up asking her to go get ice cream after school the week afterwards, and then a week after that we went to a Haunted Hayride together. We sat int the car talking for like 20 minutes afterward, warming up, and then drove to get Taco Bell. When I went to drop her off at her friends house, we hugged and then it was just kind of that point where you're like "I know I need to kiss her" and I did and we ended up sitting in the car in each others arms kissing for like 10 minutes straight. It was really surprising too cause that was my first real kiss. My parents met her after a soccer game the next week. Btw, she is 16 as well, actually 6 days older than me.
During this time, I still talked to Tom occasionally, and he ended up "warning" me about her saying that she would just try and make me spend all my money on her and destroy my emotional state. I talked to her about it, and she said that she had hated him for the last 4 months (they dated for 8 months) of their relationship and that she started having him buy her obnoxious stuff and do stupid things just trying to get him to break up with her. She never broke up with him because she was afraid he would commit suicide. Tom was a messed up guy.
Back to me and her, one night, she said she was going to hang out with some friends and that they were going to smoke flowers. Half of my friends are stoners, so I wasn't even fazed at all, and I asked if I could go with them. I ended up sneaking out of the house at 2:30 in the morning and walking two miles to meet them at the park. I didn't end up smoking at all that night, and I still never have. Her friends decided to walk home about 30 minutes after I got there, and then me and Leigha stayed in the park, laying under a blanket on the grass making out and cuddling for like the next hour. By far one of the sketchiest and best experiences of my life. Turns out that during this time, she hadn't told her parents that we were dating for a while, and my parents were pissed that they didn't know. I took her to a festival a week or two later and my parents made me take a picture with her family to prove that they knew.
Then, about a week after that, the Tuesday before thanksgiving, my mom got super pissed at me because I wasn't putting 100% effort into my Air Force Academy Application because I don't want to go there. She flipped and made me giver her my keys, my license, and my phone, and made me text Leigha and break up with her. I called on Friday night from the home phone and explained what had happened to her, and told her that I wasn't actually breaking up with her, but that I didn't know what the fudge was going to happen. That was our 1 month anniversary too. Well during that time, my mom read through my phone and found out that I had snuck out, that I had intended to smoke flowers, and some other stuff about me and about Leigha that I don't care to make public. She didn't want me to see Leigha again. When I was explaining most of this to Leigha on Saturday night, she got really depressed and stressed, I was too. In all that, she told me she loved me and I wasn't sure how to respond. I ended up saying it back, but I was upset that I hadn't said it to her in person.
On Monday, when school started again I told her that I wouldn't be able to see her outside of school for a long time, and she was okay with it. When I told my mom that we were going to continue dating at school, she got mad at me and told me I had to come home with Leigha's parents' phone numbers on Tuesday or else. I spent most of Tuesday depressed and considering breaking up with her. She obviously wouldn't let me give my mom the numbers because she didn't want them to ruin her life after they had already ruined mine. Tuesday afternoon, we decided that I would convince my parents that I broke up with her and it actually worked. It was really easy to fake, because it was something I was already thinking about all day. My parents believed me and now we are just dating in secret only at school.
The other day, I pulled a really cheesy stunt and told her I needed to go get something from the athletic wing and asked her to come with me. I was looking for a nice quiet empty hallway, and she was mad at me cause I wouldn't tell her where we were going, then we got into a good hallway and I stopped and she asked why we were here, and I said "Cause I wanted to find a nice quiet spot" and she just smiled when she realized what I did and we spent the next 5 minutes kissing. That was this past Thursday.
I sit back and think about our relationship, and I can't help but smile, because me and her both hate our parents, both get really depressed occasionally, both did some messed up things in the past, and both want to just become adults and leave our family behind, yet we hold on to each other and are always there to deal with all the **** together. There's also the fact that I have been working towards this since she was dating Tom last year that it just makes me happy knowing that I'm finally with her. I was hesitant when she told me she loved me, but now I don't doubt that I love her too. Christmas day will be our two month anniversary
Idk anything else to add, but that story ended up being way longer than I thought it would be when I first started typing XD. GG to anyone who read all of that, and I encourage you to share yours.Click to expand...
