Freshman Year. Help.

[xXSilencerXx]

High school doesn't mean anything once you get to college, I'm a Senior now and barely remember anything from those days a few years ago.

And 4 day weekend FTW!

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Damn, 4th Monday in October for me
And wow - 5OUL ON D!SPLAY has a very deep meaning. The only other song I actually listen to mainly for the lyrics is 'Take a Walk on the Wild Side'.

More of a personal meaning for me. That's how I feel. If you're reading it, you may find a sudden urge to say "who the hell is he talking about?"

Well it really shouldn't be too hard to guess....



Oh and xXSilencerXx, at least this will be a nice thing to look back on when I'm older. Remembering my days of HS, looking back saying, what was my problem?

 

[GT_Prologue5]

I'm dying inside the more I don't tell the person...

I'm going to assume it's a girl you're talking about (if it's that obvious, sorry, I don't guess very well).

Just tell her. I know it's not that simple from experience, but just say it. If she's your friend already and you know each other well enough, the worst thing that can happen is she doesn't give you the answer you want to hear and everything stays as it is now. If she for some reason or another is uncomfortable with what you're telling her and reacts negatively towards you, well in that case she wasn't worth wasting your time on in the first place and you're better off without her.

This is, of course, if you're talking about a girl. Which I might be wrong about

Ugh...you're right. It's just how to say it. I just can't. It's not like I can just sit here anymore, letting the pressure build inside me. I don't know what to do.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Just tell her up front! Do it! It worked for me!

That said, I did at the very least give a bit of a run up to it, and we were alone.

Thanks for the help!

But she has a boyfriend

I think my brothers going to give me an idea, waiting for it,

Lol, I meant it as things that were a big deal back then will be meaningless later on in life you will do like you said and wonder what was your problem.

And as others said, just tell her. If you don't know her that well try to drum up conversation and get to know her well and then tell her. That's how I did it, and we're going on 4 and half years. 👍

 

[Nero9]

I can definitely see you have a _completely_ different personality compared to mine.

Anyway here it goes:
I did the board, arrived at school at 7:50AM (VERY LATE), annd uh yeah.
Tomorrow one of my classmates has to bring her book in a bucket LMAO!!!
Not that much humiliation today...P.E was horrible as always.

That's about it.

I suppose I do.

Labor Day here in the States, off for Monday, hung out at the book store with Wesley and Kirsten. (book store? Am I serious?)

Ha I'm glad we don't have to take supplies in buckets.

Oh lord, I hope not.



I gotta ask, why were you spending your day off in a book store?

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Oh lord, I hope not.



I gotta ask, why were you spending your day off in a book store?

Oh boy...well I really had nothing else to do! The book store is so calm and relaxing. We did head to some place called Ollie's, then finished off at Starbucks (no I didn't have any coffee.)

I don't know....we're just the people who actually have the guts to hang out at a book store!

 

[Talon]

Huh, well okay then. I guess I see your point.

That's rough about the girl. But as Mclaren would readily point out, there is probably nothing to the relationship, and it will be over in weeks I bet. You can tell her whatever it is then, and all will be good, no?



Yeah, I know it's not that simple, but it sounds like a good plan.

 

[McLaren]

If she has a boyfriend, you really probably shouldn't tell her how you feel b/c you'll end up putting her in a situation of her knowing she has 2 guys that like her & how she reacts is going to either cause a bigger problem with her b/f or more than likely, cause her to react to you differently than before.

In honesty, you're probably in the friend zone by this point.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Yeah I'm going to try not to worry about anything at the moment, it's the best idea. Well, I'm off.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Another day, waking up too early, felt tired. Hot all day because of my genius combination of a button up and a hoodie. Had swim class, the first whole swim class of the year. I'm beat. After getting splashed too much and constantly trying to find people. (I have trouble seeing without my glasses, and you can't swim with glasses.) I finally got back at Kirsten by elbowing her (I do not need a reason to stare at random women! )

I'm just beat. Chlorine just makes your eyes feel so tired, and it hurts like hell. I need some sleep.

When I was a freshmen. We never had a pool nor we were allowed to go off campus until a year.

Wow. Swim is part of our curriculum, you cannot pass without it.

I mean it's a nice down time class, but it's freezing. Although my friends are in the class (Helen, Kirsten, Wesley, Zak, etc. etc.)

 

[Crash]

We had a swimming unit in our high school PE, but we did it in late May, early June so that it would hopefully be somewhat warm by then.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Another day. Threw my arm out again, I'm having trouble typing due to a vein in my left arm. Kirsten not here, Wesley talked with a lot, Gio saw around, sat with Helen at lunch, SOAP TASTING ROOT BEER FLOATS IN ALGEBRA CLASS. Boring.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Um. I know her extremely well. Almost too well.

And thanks for the advice.

 

[Talon]

I can't help but think you're talking about Kirsten. Am I right?

Although, I guess with my knowledge of names it could be Wesley too.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

You are right my friend. Although nice job on the name confusions.

I don't really like talking about it though, I have a paranoia that she (or anyone close to me) is watching my every post. It's troubling.

Now, I need some rest for swim class tomorrow.

 

[The Gran Finale]

Also, she won't be my wife! I'm her friend, she has a boyfriend.
I don't care for a high school relationship.

I can't help but think you're talking about Kirsten. Am I right?

You are right my friend.

I've been following this thread since it's inception (glad you enjoyed the movie), and it's scary how much you sound like me. (Except I would never have the courage to talk about it on a public forum to total strangers:tup

I'm a junior in high school now, and I experienced what you're going through at the beginning of my sophomore year. When the time is right, you'll have to tell her. I was in this situation and I was extremely nervous about saying something, but it was ripping me up inside. I finally did in the latter half of the year and it was a huge weight off my chest.

Lastly, how do you put the snazzy bold-face type of the person's name in the quote box, because obviously I don't know how.

Edit: Thanks FoolKiller!

 

[FoolKiller]

GT_Prologue5, you are in the friend zone. You like her but you all are just friends. It is a hard place to be but I spent two years in there with one girl when I was in high school. When I was your age I somehow managed to be in the friend zone with a different girl every year. It is the teenage burden of the nice guy. What you don't likely realize is that while you are doting over your friend, some girl you could only ever think about as a friend has stronger feelings for you. The thing is you won't know who it is until she decides she hates you for not noticing her the way she wants.

All of that is normal. I didn't gain the confidence to do and say things before I reached friend status until I was in college.

I gotta ask, why were you spending your day off in a book store?

Some people do find reading fun. Plus, if its a fancy bookstore they have a coffee shop, and a music section, and story time with the kiddies. My personal favorite is "The Poky Little Puppy."

Lastly, how do you put the snazzy bold-face type of the person's name in the quote box, because obviously I don't know how.

Well, you could use the quote function which does it for you, and even adds a link to the post. The Quote button on the bottom right of every post will do that. To Multi-quote click the small chat bubbles icon next to the Quote button on all the posts you wish to quote.

Or, you put an =Username in the opening quote tags, like so:

Haha it was a good movie (and thanks for following.) I don't know, it's just really strange. It's almost like she doesn't understand when I try to come on to her. Problem of being a nice guy.

Foolkiller, it's hard to stay in the friend zone when you talk about things we talk about (let's not say them here...) I don't know anyone who notices me, no one truly comes on to me or anything, so I don't know.

Yes, bookstores like Borders got the whole music/books/cafe thing, very nice, calm spot to be.

And for today!....

Um. Let's see. Kirsten's back, of course I had pool class with her.
Erm. Now I see why the water's so cold....

French class, Algebra, English, lunch with Wesley as usual. My hair's screwed up from it and I feel like I just took a chlorine bath.
Went off the diving board twice.

I ended my day by doing the robot up the walkway while listening to Kavinsky's Testarossa. It felt appropriate. I mean, I night be a nerd, but I can be one cool guy to be around.

 

[FoolKiller]

Foolkiller, it's hard to stay in the friend zone when you talk about things we talk about (let's not say them here...)

There is a good chance she talks about those things because she only thinks of you as a friend who she can trust, and thus you are safe.

I don't know anyone who notices me, no one truly comes on to me or anything, so I don't know.

And you won't.

And you won't.

It's almost like I'm trusted too much. I know things I never wanted to know, but know they're crammed in a "hey remember when she said that?" part of my mind.

And your pretty much right, I probably won't notice. I think I might actually be coming onto something here. Thanks Foolkiller.

I still smell like chlorine.

Control that thing!

I'm gonna be the blunt a-hole of the thread here: You got hair on your peaches? Tell her how you feel. Stop being a little priss, man up, and do it. Once you embrace that, life gets much easier. And go into it with the expectation she's going to deny you, so you're not dissapointed if she does.

Basically, work on the IDGAF mentality. You don't like me? I don't care! I feel better having said my peace, let's continue on now.

Haha. I'm dropping it for now. I'm just going to shut up and not say anything.

So nobody talk about it unless you really want to!

Yeah, that was kind of blunt. Anyone a computer technician? I can't seem to get my router to work today.
