Mixed Feelings

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 10:53 PM

I know that last year I made a post saying how much I was against dating in the sixth grade, and being a grade above then doesn't really change anything, but I can't help it =/. In the thread called "This Makes Me Angry" that I posted, I mentioned a guy named Caleb (a friend of mine). Lately, he has been different around me-he'll walk with me and come up to me out of nowhere, do these little favors for me, and smile every time he sees me. While hanging out with him over the year, I have grown an...affection for him, per say. No, that doesn't cut it...I really REALLY like him and I almost can't stop thinking about him.

The other day, he told me he likes his other friend named Morgan (the girl that my friend Leif had gone out with and was a total douche to), and that he thought she liked him back which kinda sucks because I nearly thought he liked me... Anywho, as it turned out Morgan didn't like him until she changed her mind today at school and told Leif that she was "in love with him", who then told me (Leif knows that I like him).

Tonight at the dance (from what I hear; I wasn't able to go because I got a detention from a teacher and thereafter wasn't allowed to go to the Middle School dance which takes place after school (more info in the ZAP thread)), Morgan changed her mind right before Caleb asked her out, which kinda pisses me off because Caleb was so hopeful of things, but anyway she said "I don't know" to it (remember, I am not sure about this, this is just what I heard from Leif).

This is as far as I know, but I really like him to an extent that I might break my morales and...um...how to say this...grow are relationship even further. At the same time, however, I don't know how things are going to play out between him and Morgan; whether or not they will take their relationship a step further. My plan is to wait and see what happends, and I'll only do as I wish if he himself makes the first move. (Also, he has suspicions of me liking him because stupid Leif had to go and hint about it to him.)

I'm not really asking for advice or opinions, I really just wanted to type this out and tell somebody...I don't know. Also, it's probably pretty confusing because I typed this up rather quickly, so sorry about that.

This has happened to me before, I hope things turn out the way you want

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 11:15 PM

I almost hope that they do to, considering things like this never work out for me, but at the same time he really likes Morgan even though she's almost a total bitch =/.

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:26 PM

having someone that you like going out with someone you don't like is really hard to handle... but, it could be worse, you could have been just about to ask someone out when another person interrupts MID SENTENCE only to ask the same question first, and THEY get the "yes" answer, so you have to make up some BS question to keep from looking stupid..... and then cry on the inside for the rest of the day while you try to comprehend what happened...

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 11:27 PM

Wow. Well, inferring that you meant that happened to you...That does suck. When did that happen?

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:33 PM

two years ago, I've moved on since then, but still... worst luck ever

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 11:35 PM

I know. Bad timing, it's one of those things where you play it over and over in your head, contemplating all of the things you could've done instead to make things end differently..

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:36 PM

i have those moments every day it seems like, some are less significant than others.

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 11:38 PM

Yeah like today and thinking of how I could've gotten to Guided Reading earlier and not have gotten a detention, thus being able to go to the dance and dance with Caleb, hopefully making him realise he likes me. That's all down the drain...

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:41 PM

i'm so used to my school, that i forgot how strict the rules used to be... i don't even think teachers take attendance after sophomore year

**Valigarmander** · 10-23-2009, 11:41 PM

Missing the dance was unfortunate, but there'll be other chances to be with him.

And don't worry about being "too young" to start dating or anything. You're at that age where kids start experimenting with relationships, so if you think you're ready to pursue something like that (or at least just dip your toes in the water), then don't worry about it. As long as you're not having sex or anything like that, it's nothing absurd for anyone your age to be doing.

Yeah, I s'pose.

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:47 PM

people started dating around the 4th grade here, feels kind of weired to me

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 11:48 PM

Yeah, for the most part same here.

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:52 PM

wow, i have lived here for 10 years, and i have only liked two girls, both times, things didn't work out

The Spark · 10-23-2009, 11:54 PM

I have only really liked..1, 2, carry the 5... three people and, as with your situation, none have worked out..yet.

PONIES · 10-23-2009, 11:58 PM

i wish someone would move here, because i know all of the girls at my school basically

wow, i couldn't have time this statement any better

That's pretty much all I got.

Also, it seems like Caleb likes you, but he's not sure what you think of him.

(Just my opinion by going on what you posted.)

Other than that I can just say I hope it works out.

CodenameV · 10-26-2009, 02:13 PM

This kinda thing has happened to me a lot, starting in 7th grade. Although it looks like I finally got things right. =) And I'm sure the same thing'll happen for you. It takes time to find the right person and for the right circumstances to happen where you can be with that person, but 10 out of 9 times it's worth the wait.

PONIES · 10-26-2009, 02:30 PM

your math is 1000% correct
