Thanks, CE. I feel rather unjustly discriminated against ever since I've had more posts than everyone else but you. After I stock up on enough posts to not get passed by RD during my month break, I should calm down verily again. Notice that I am trying to stop this stupid contest. |

CAUTION: EXTREMELY LONG, EXTREMELY EMO, AND POSSIBLY VERY ANNOYING POST AHEAD Okay, instead of starting an entirely new thread about my latest relationship problem, I'm just gonna revive this one. (mainly for sentimental reasons) Okay, this latest girl completely trumps all the others up to this point. So, instead of referring to her as Girl D, I will just refer to her by her first syllable, "Kay." Okay, I go to this one church camp every year. I could make this post about how much this camp helps me stop being such a total jerk and kind of prevents me from being totally evil sometimes but I won't. I could even make this post about how I refound God and rededicated my life to Christ, but I won't. This post is about a girl I met there. I actually met this girl last year at this camp. From the moment I saw her, I was in love. Seriously, all the other crap about girls I've said in this thread and others is pretty much meaningless compared to her. And it wasn't love at first sight simply because she was so gorgeous(in fact, Girl A is hotter). I don't know why I immediately fell in love with her. Maybe it was the way she sarcastically joked around with me and tryed to not act impressed by me, even though she really was. Maybe it was the fact that, despite her being a year younger than me, she was far more mature (emotionally and mentally, people, get your mind out of the gutter) than most adults I know. Maybe it was her pale blue eyes that lit up whenever she saw me. I swear I could see the entire universe reflected in those eyes. Her eyes always spoke to me more than when we were actually talking. I'm gonna be honest with you guys, writing this is actually making me tear up a little. Anyways, I met this girl last year and there was immediately a lot of tension between us. I couldn't even get near her. She was like this angelic being in my mind that if I touched she would dissolve before my very eyes and everything would be ruined. I was so, so, so polite to her; I was the perfect gentleman, holding the door for her, complimenting everything about her, being careful not to sit or stand too close for fear that she might not like it. It was this that was probably my downfall in the end. I wussed out on telling her how I felt until the very last day of camp last year but I got her email and managed to go to another camp with her that same summer. At that camp, I told her how I felt, rather romantically too, and suddenly she was my girlfriend. Here was where I made my mistake, I think. I never held her hand out of reverence for her. Whenever I was around her, I was way more silent than usual and I couldn't even explain that I felt this way about her so she probably thought I just didn't like her enough to get near her. The camp ended and after a tearful goodbye hug and an exchanging of mix tapes, we departed. I got her phone number though and kept in touch with her for three or four weeks, talking with her almost every day, telling her about my latest dreams or attempts at short stories and listening to her poetry or theories on life's many eccentricities. Then she broke up with me over the phone because in her words, "We live too far away from one another and we don't see each other enough to continue this relationship." (It was only an hour's drive away, but I guess thats a long ways when neither of us have a car) After crying for two days, I called her and tried to get back together with her. (stupid stupid stupid me, I know...) She said "okay" rather reluctantly and it was awkard talking with her for another week before she broke it off again, saying that we could still be friends. I cryed for another day and a half before, (in another fit of utter stupidity), I decided that it would hurt too much to remain friends and left her a message on her voicemail saying that I couldn't be "just friends" with her and that it would probably be best if we didn't keep in touch because it would hurt too much. About six months later, on the random advice of either a complete stranger or a fortune cookie, I can't remember which, I called her and we talked like old friends again. It was still kind of awkward but it was so much better than trying to just forget her. Not a week had gone during those six months, sometimes not even a day went by, that I wasn't reminded of her by either a song by Blink 182 or The Killers, or a mention of something Scottish (she loves Scotland), or even sometimes something as simple as a certain shade of dark green. I never told her this of course, she was dating someone else by then and besides, we still lived an hour away from each other. Instead, I just called her every once in a while, like on her birthday and about once every two months, just keeping in touch. Then, about a week and a half ago, she called to ask if I was going to camp this year. I said "yes" and then a couple days later I was back to where we first met. I fell in love with her all over again despite knowing that she already had a boyfriend, one who was superior to me in possibly every way and had already been dating her for a few months. I mean, this guy lived near by to her and they went to the same school, he was in band with her, could draw better than me, could play guitar better than me, he even has incredibly beautiful handwriting, its like calligraphy, dammit!! The worst part was that he was more confident than me and actually held her hand and kissed her. Anyways, I spent all week with her and was on the verge of telling how I felt all over again the whole time. I never did though, despite writing a letter (in my crappy handwriting) that explained why I never got close to her last year and why I was always so quiet around her. Here's the letter:
I never gave her the letter. Camp's over now and I didn't say what I wanted to, but now I have to either just try to get her out of my mind again, or do something about it. I don't know what. |

Lol, your reluctance to hold her hand, and being afraid of doing something wrong sounds exactly like my only relationship which ended because of that. I know how you feel, and the best thing to do is to try and get over her. Though its true that it will take months to get rid of all the feelings, it should become bearable soon enough. And remember, though I never liked hearing this advice, there's plenty of fish in the sea. |

:o I'm actually quite nervous to weigh in on this one. I know what I would do, but I don't think that it helped you last time. But perhaps that was fate, keeping you away from other girls? I want to tell you to stay away from some other guy's girl (terrible form! ;) ), but that seems inappropriate. I feel like you should send her that letter, terribly and unequivocably cheesy as love letters have become, but this seems to fragile. I don't want to ruin something tat appears so pure, so untainted by the base desires. It's beautiful really. I've always wanted to feel like that about a girl, but I haven't found the right one yet. You'd never know that if you knew me for real, but its true. Cheers for finding someone like that. I guess I should just leave you with some wisdom. If you feel that its the real deal, worst case scenario is that you're right, and that you're letting it go down the drain. If you feel like you really belong with someone, don't let them get away. You'll hate yourself for a long, long time. |

... Damn it man, you've got me misting up over here. Ok back to the matter at hand... I know where you're coming from here. But so far everything I've tried in a similiar situation has... well backfired horribly. I am reminded of the song Hard Candy by Counting Crows:
Actually this reminds me of the whole song but hey! Ok... Nope, can't help... I've got my own problems over here. Problems that yours kinda remind me rather a lot. Ok... uh... There is one thing I can help you with. No guy is better than you. Just because you can't see your own charm, doesn't mean this new guy is any better than you. That said... if you love her, let her go. You can't wade in heavy handed, and as depressing and emo as it sounds, I think you did the right thing by "wussing out" over this letter. Stay friends with her, maybe you'll get another chance and when you do, remember you've got to act. Being ackward arround her doesn't show that you love her. It is possible to be loving and reverent without being a jerk and "dirtying her". But you can't tell her how you feel if she's happy with someone else. If she's not happy, by all means tell her. The best way to know she's uphappy is if you stay close to her. Stay friends, tell her how you feel when the time is right. You are a great person, no-one is "better than you in any way" and it's clear you really like this girl. I really hope you end up together, but it's not going to happen right now - and you can't let yourself lose a friendship because you want more. |

Nag is right about one thing: Anyone with a soul as beautiful as yours to be able to write that letter does not have anyone better than him walking on this earth. Keep in touch with her. Monitor how things are going with her new boy-friend. Some time, when the time seems right, tell her you wrote this letter, but were afraid to send it. That might just be enough to start a conversation about how she really feels. And if you are at a camp again, do hold her hand when you walk together. Good luck, and remember, unreturned love is a losing proposition. As long as you love from afar, and do not recieve love in return, you will get nowhere fast. PS: My middle name is Evan. My father's middle name is Evan. My Grand Father's middle name is Evan. My Great Grandfather's middle name is Evan. My Great-Great Grandfather's middle name is Evan. . . . This goes back to my Great times 7 Grandfather who came over with William Penn's fleet in 1682, who's middle name was Evan. We have no idea where this comes from. My lover's aunt's German Shepard that we gave them is named Evan, in honor of me. They live in Texas (Dallas area). I don't know what this means. |

:wub: Nag pass the tissues.....that was as many have said and I will say again very beautiful for a multitude of reason...but I'll leave them be to get to the point, which is your problem. I have been in a similar situation and unlike you I was daring enough to send the letter....mistake one on my part. I never recieved word back about the letter and have spent some what the better part of my young life wondering what happened. It's an enigma which if I think about hard enough drives me utterly insane. But, that was luckily enough for me a good while back and the years past that point have allowed me to move on. No you won't forget about her, who does? Can anyone say they've truly forgotten a person of whom you devote so much of your soul to? I think not. I agree with everyone when they say keep in touch. That of course (in my case) was mistake two and a regret (one of few in my life) that I am now forced to live with. So do take that advice and who knows, life it a funny little bastard and maybe in the end you two will live happily ever after. ok I'm done ranting again....I do wish you the best of luck though. |
