Oh, and for me it was 2nd grade. I loved him deeply. I thought he was amazing. One day, leaning on the wall outside the bathroom I told him. He never spoke to me again. We graduated together 10 years later in a class of 188. Like he could have consciously avoided me that long. :)

One time I went to the movie theaters, the only four consecutive seats in the theater were next to me. Four girls went to sit there, and the one that had to sit next to me said to her friends loud enough for me to hear "Ew, I don't want to sit next to him. Trade with me, please!" and they argued a bit "Just sit down next to him!" I wasn't doing anything, I wasn't gunning them with my eyes, I took a shower, brushed my teeth, put deodorant on, cologne on, etc. I feel very repulsive and things like that really reinforce it. Perhaps I am wearing the same cologne as the guy from Anchorman. Y'know, the puma one?

I think I feel so repulsive and very fearful of rejection just because I got shot down at a very young age. Had a sixth grade crush that totally went wrong, labeled gay in Jr. High School because I didn't have hair on my legs in PE, didn't have a deep voice, and I wasn't kissing girls in the hallways, and pretty much just lived the life style of not approaching girls and just keeping to myself "Why don't girls like me?"

There were some girls that I went after that I didn't straight up till them I was interested. I was put into the friend zone and tried getting out of 'em, but never did get out of it. I didn't even really like a friend sometimes. One of them I could never get to go get food with me just me and her. She always had to have another guy along. Perhaps she knew? Even a friend would go some place alone with me. She didn't. So the last time I talked with her, I decided that she really wasn't a friend anyhow since she wouldn't even go somewhere like In-N-Out with me after work, she always bailed on me, so I just told her "I don't want to hang out with you anymore" when she wanted me and another guy to go to the movies with her, lol.

It's lame, lol.

Oh, I don't have much to be confident about either.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I seriously am. People are cruel.

To be like that, girls really have to hate themselves.

You've had a run of really crappy people in your life. That's okay. You will eventually meet better people who deserve a spot in your life. Don't settle for people who suck as friends.

You are very smart, aprz. You're passionate. I see it through your posts here. You do have things to be confident of, you do have things to be proud of.

I'm the forum mean girl, if I can say something nice about you, its got to be true.
 
It's a numbers game

Well, good news is I tried being a little bit more aggressive today (taking Anjel advise). I saw this gorgeous girl at Chipotle too. I walked up to her to tell her that I think she is gorgeous, but she walked away really quick, and I said "Excuse me", and again "Excuse me ma'am", and she just kept on walking and I stopped cause I didn't want to look like a creep.

Keep doing it and doing it and don't give up and you'll get the big "YES!".

(Keep track of how many turndowns before the success.)

Then, do it again and again until you score, keep your tally

One more round until you hit paydirt and then average out the numbers and you'll figure out about how much work you'll have before you make another connection.

(If it averages over 400 turndowns and more than five black eyes before you score, give it up!)

I'll put my junior high and high school photos up when I get back from this trip. You will die laughing. My idea of fashion was green velour shirts and knee high moccasins with extra fringe. Oh and thick photogray glasses.

They had cameras back then?:P

Aprz a good way to get girls is to talk about stuff you know, you can't walk up to a girl and say she is gorgeous, she will feel uncomfortable because you were looking a her, or she could think you're hitting on her. Make friends with girls and then ask them out after you know them for a little while. One thing to not talk about is the old ladys' vomit you had to clean up earlier that day!
Good luck.

Oh goodness, I would have run too. Being directly approached like that makes me very very uncomfortable and suspicious. I hate it when guys express interest solely in my looks. It also makes me suspicious that some guy just lost a bet or is doing it on a dare. So don't take it personally, some women just don't like being approached so aggressively.

This is good advice. It also prevents you from asking out girls already in relationships.
 
Let me share my humiliation.
I was kind of the oddball in school. Not too many friends, no real girlfriend..more of the loner type.
9th grade, one of the popular girls came up and told me that another popular girl had a crush on me. She wanted me to ask her out.
If I wanted to I was to meet her in front of the school store at lunch and ask her out.
Man...I never had a girl have a crush on me...let alone one of the hot popular ones.
I was so excited. I couldn't wait for lunch.
When it was time, I got to the store and there was all the popular people in the school, and a small crowd along with them.
I spotted "Beth" and proceeded to ask her if she wanted to go out with me.
At this time, she reeled back with a look of utter disgust and said, "What would make you thin I would EVER go out with YOU? You are a freak! So gross."
The crowd that had gathered all started to laugh.
I was set up.

Talk about wanting to crawl in a hole....

I had a hard time with women for a long time after that. Until I met my wife.
She is the most beautiful and caring soul on earth. I still can't believe she married me. Our 15th anniversay is coming in June! I married soooooo far out of my league with her.
We went to my 20th class reunion a couple years ago. Most of the crowd (from that day) that was there didn't age or fare so well in life. "Beth" has been divorced 3x already, and looks much older than what she is.

I guess it all works out in the end.
 
My permanent Wednesday partner is fun sized like me. This'll be fun.
 
Well got a 90%. Didn't do as well as I hoped, but I'll take it.
 
I'm proud of you and so excited for you. I can't wait until you're a medic. You are going to be a strong asset to the profession.
 
I have 2 classes left. I will test out on my practicals this week, and next week will be tested on medical and trauma assessments.

Graduation on the 19th

NREMT practical exams on June 2.

Had a meeting last night with a volly service (as an EMR). Possibly as a volunteer Fire Fighter as well. First responder will not pay, but FF will (per call and a small monthly amount)

Will be meeting with another service once I obtain my EMT-B license. This one will be as an EMT-B level of service (they are ALS, but use EMT's too.)
This could be a part time position, but if it is just volly, it is a paid per call service.
 
The awkward moment you receive a break up text in the morning. The truly awkward moment when you never realized you were dating someone. I don't know whether to laugh, be confused, be angry. Do I reply with a "I didn't even know we were dating." or is that unnecessary? Oh and to make matters worse, there is only 2 more episodes of house and what kind of horrible person ends last nights episode the way they did?
 
First day back in San Antonio and I get to spend the day in middle of nowhere Live Oak county.

So freaking easy.
