Who Was It With?
a boy from my school
When Did You Realize It was Love?
when I could straight up say "I love you" cause I really don't say it a lot
What Did It Feel Like?
What did it feel like? Love. Haha, just jokes. I was thirteen at the time so most people would say that I had no idea what love is, and I probably still don't. but I'd like to think it was love...it was one of those things where I wanted to tell him every single detail of my life and I wanted to be next to him every minute. You know, all that sappy stuff :P
What Happened Next?
At first he liked another girl. But we still managed to become friends and I guess along the way he came to like me too. We didn't date though, my parents wouldn't allow it. I really did want to date him though, I just forced myself to believe that it was for the better since we were so young. But I do have to say that it looked like we were going out...but it only lasted for about a year and a half. There was this huge misunderstanding because he thought that I liked another boy so he tried to give me space and all. I don't really wanna go into details but I'll tell you that the whole situation basically blew up. Both of us were left broken hearted and crying. It was pretty messy....but it made me realize how glad I was that we weren't actually "dating", I think it would have made everything that much worse. After that, things got awkward and I tried to stay friends with him, but it didn't really work out. So now I guess we're just classmates.
Lessons Learned
- COMMUNICATION!!! You NEVER want to assume.
- Girls - guard your heart. Definitely. I know what it feels like to want to give everything you have to this guy, but don't. You never know what's gonna happen. You're only allowed to give everything when you're married ;)
- Guys - I don't really know what to say kuz I've never been on the guys' point of view, but if you think your girl likes someone else, just ask her. Hopefully she'll answer you truthfully.
- All in all though, "falling in love" is a pretty amazing thing. Don't ever be afraid of it. But do be cautious.
