I met and be...oh, this story brings back memories. I met and became friends with a boy in high school, we'll call him John (not this real name). John was popular with the girls from his Jr high, and there was this group of them who were desperately in love with him, as only love-sick 15 year old girls can be.<br />one in particular, we'll call her Mary (also not her real name), was his neighbor and they'd known each other for years and had been waiting until they turned 16 to date. Of course, as the time drew near and John became closer friends with me and my bff and discovered the relief of being with girls who didn't worship him, his interest in Mary waned. <br />I was friends with Mary, too, so I watched her turmoil throughout high school as she struggled with her completely unrequited feelings for John. <br />From my 3rd party perspective what I saw was that when John entered the wider world of high school he discovered that he had different tastes than what the limited options of Jr High had provided, and that Mary just wasn't his type. he wanted to play the feild so to speak, and never (that I recall) actually went steady with anyone during high school (except for a couple months with me one summer, but we'd been best friends for 2 years by then - he wanted most the girls he couldn't have, my best friend and me who never fawned over him). <br />Unfortunately, I never could come up with a way to convince his gaggle of followers to move on, especially Mary who I quite liked. It was sad to watch them and I genuinely wished that they'd learn to move on, fur their own happiness.<br />On the upside, eventually we all (John, Mary and I anyway) grew up and married other people far more suited to be our spouses.Azterothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711582973371384866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-17967972348846538022014-05-13T01:04:19.493-06:002014-05-13T01:04:19.493-06:00Not to be antagonistic, but it's also possible...Not to be antagonistic, but it's also possible her pride is hurt because this guy simply won't bend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048743917167632985noreply@blogger.com
