Who and Where?
It was with the guy I really liked, and I always got the idea he liked me too but I was never sure. His nickname is Pomegranate but I didn't come up with it my friend does that for the guys that me, her, and her 2 cousins like. I'm friends with her cousins too. I've liked him since like the 2nd week of the school year. (He was new to the school but most of the guys already knew him.) He was so different from any other guy that I've liked, and I think I might be in love with him. This all happened at the 7th and 8th grade dance.
How Did it Happen?
When me and my 2 friends arrived it was 8, and the dance started at 7. At first we were just talking and then I went over to my other friends and then we all started dancing. After a while a slow song came on and people slow danced. I wished that Pomegranate would ask me to dance but he didn't. After that was over it was a faster song, so me and my friends were dancing and singing along with them. Later on a few more slow songs came on, and I was all tired from dancing so much so I went out to get a drink of water. On my way out I purposely elbowed Pomegranate in the back so he would look at me and hopefully get the hint I wanted to dance with him. I looked back and smiled at him. When I came back in we both smiled at each other. The next slow song came on and I was standing alone watching people dance and I was trying to stay close to Pomegranate. He was with a few of his friends and it looked like they were talking about me because they would look at me every few seconds. I kind of just smiled at them. Then finally Pomegranate came up to me and asked me to dance. I agreed and we stepped out onto dance floor. My arms were around his neck while his hands were on my waist. We moved closer together and at the end of the song he gave me a peck on the lips. I just smiled at him and went back to dancing with my friends. The next slow song came on and me and Pomegranate danced together again. This time he didn't ask, we kind of just found each other and naturally moved together. In the middle of the song he kissed me again and it lasted about 30 seconds. When we separated we could feel a lot of people looking at us but we didn't care, we were too lost in each other's eyes. Then I was sure that he liked me because I could just see it. All the rest of the night we found some way to look at each other, even if we were across the room. After the dance, everybody was outside waiting for their rides. When mine came I elbowed him again and looked back and smiled and he smiled back at me.
Advice
- Don't be nervous and just go with the flow because if you try too hard things might not turn out the way you want them to.
- It might not happen the first time but it will happen eventually.
