Here's my story.
This took place when i was 16. About 2 years ago. A girl named Ashley was the one i fell for. I knew her since middle school. So like 3ish years. We had classes together every year, which was great. I've always liked her and my friend's knew it, but i'd never admit this to them. It was embarrassing mostly because i'm not the GREATEST lookin dude there is, and a girl like her just seemed to be out of my league. We always ended up talking to each other in class and even after school for this poetry club i joined, knowing she joined it. Spending time with her meant everything to me. Although it didnt feel that way to me. Ashley would always tell me about how she liked some other guy. It really did break my heart knowing that she liked someone else, but i played it off and supported her. I knew the dude. We played soccer together. He said that he didnt like her b/c "she didnt have the body of a woman." Me being the stubborn douchebag i am couldnt let this slide. I basically told the dude off. It's not something i'd normally do, but i hate someone who talks another person down, and she was the girl that i had feelings for. Her friend knew about this little argument. I didnt really care at the moment, but when Ashley came to me asking if i did this for her, i said yeah. All she did was smile and thanked me. I'm guessing by this point she had feelings for me too. I didnt know this at the time, because i took it as a friendly gesture. I remember staying up at night just thinking about her. I was definitely in love. I never had a girlfriend before at the time. I never had the confidence to tell her this, but i did like her a lot. Her best friend would always joke around with us, saying that she liked me, but Ashley always seemed sure that she didnt have feelings. Eventually it was obvious to everyone that we liked each other. A few weeks passed and we still heard people saying we should just go out. I still wasnt sure if Ashley even liked me! Her bestfriend said this to us in class when us 3 and my best friend were in a group. Our best friends brought up us liking each other and all we did was instantly look at each other and turned red. That day was the last time that i've ever seen ash again. Due to some unfortunate decisions from my mom, we had to move. It was an immediate thing, we left without warning. My friends had no idea what happened to me until i created a facebook. I couldnt stop thinking about Ashley. She messaged me within a day of me sendin the friend request. We chatted, i told her what had happened...
I cried that night knowing i'd prolly never see her again. That night she messaged me telling me how she liked me a lot and wished that she had the confidence to ask me out. I felt like a huge pussy for not asking her out. I'm the man here. After that we never talked to each other again. Until very recently...
Like 2ish years passed
Yes, the day before Valentine's day she messaged me on fb, telling me about the school i was supposed to graduate from with her, catching up. It was a great feeling. We exchanged numbers and it so happens that she lives about 20 minutes away! We're gonna go on a date or "Meet Up" next weekend to go and see the deadpool movie. I'm so excited and i feel blessed knowing that i was given another chance to be with the girl i've always loved.
Please wish me luck!
The only advice i have is to take a chances. The worst that can happen is being rejected. Ik it sucks being rejected, bur it's better than never taking a chance in the first place. Be confident in yourself.
This was a little scary to talk about, but i feel that it's worth it in the end, sharing my story.
Ps: i was high af and sleepy making this. Probs alot of fucked up grammar.
