So here's my story. When I was in college, there was this girl in my astronomy class. I was really taken by her, because she was quiet and shy, and she had a mysterious beauty about her. It was like she was dark and cold on the outside, but shined so brightly on the inside. She had a sour puss look on her face and seemed to want to be left alone, or maybe she wanted to be approached. There was a definite shyness about her, like she was so desperate to show the world the real her, but so afraid of what the world might think about the real her. One day our teacher was asking us what our biggest goal was and what our biggest fear was when it came to traveling into outer space. I said that my biggest goal was to one day soar through the clouds of Jupiter but that my biggest fear was being stranded in Uranus. When she laughed, and when she smiled, I nearly fainted. It was the first time I saw her smile and my God, it was bee-yoo-tee-ful. I wanted to talk to her, but I was too shy to approach her. Meanwhile there was this other guy in our class who also took a liking to her. He was not scared away by her sour puss. I remember my jealousy when I saw him constantly sitting next to her and talking to her as I did nothing. He was trying to make her laugh as I would have tried to. I specifically remember the day we went on the roof to look at the stars. I remember she was walking off to the side to be alone and I was *this close* to walking up to her and starting a conversation. But naturally, my shyness and low self esteem put me in a headlock and yanked me away. But lo and and behold, "he" was there a few minutes later, trying his best to make her laugh (which he apparently couldn't do.) I even overheard him asking her out, but I never heard her answer... A few weeks later, the class ended. I never thought that much of it. Then, last night, thirteen years later, I am on the train and who do I see? Her. And him. -huh And their son. -ohmy And their daughter. -shock As soon as I saw them I said, "Well I'll be damned. He asked her out and now they're married with children." Funny thing is, she still had that grumpy sour puss on her face as she was fixing her daughter's coat, but then her son said something and she cracked up. My heart jumped out of my chest, put a gun to it's head and pulled the trigger. She still had the same quintessence of a smile that I had ever seen. And he was still happy go lucky, smiling as if it was crazy glued to his face. And their kids were absolutely adorable. And I am alone. :( So this message is for all of you hesitators out there. Just remember, someone else might be there to scoop him or her up. You can't wait forever, because if you do, he or she will be gone. And you're wondering what their kids would have looked like with your eyes instead of his...
>.< cries........sad story......... i know what you mean....there is this girl i like but i never could ask her out because i'm so shy....but one day i see this guy walking up to her and starting talking. then i over heard his saying if she wants to be his gf. After i heard that i flt like my heart was being riped apart.
I hesitate when I see the girl I like too. Maybe that's why they always turned me down. Anyway, I will keep trying.
soo darknight: have you asked anybody out lately? Have you learned your lesson? or are you still waiting for that speical person to come by again?? But thanks for the story.
Same here. I was caught by surprise. Though I think it's not a completely sad story. At least she's happy with her husband, right?. Isn't that what's important? But yea, I got the pt. I recently just fell in love with one of my friends but never got the guts to ask her. Makes me feel like I'm giving up on a huge opportunity and quite possibly the only opportunity with her. But at the same time, we're still good friends and it seems like she hasn't gotten over her last crush. So iunno... choices choices. =/
awwww, seems like a movie i watched long ago...um.. 13years later o.o why are you still alone? i would of thought, you would of hooked up with someone already....if worst comes to worst and you still like her...you could act upon yourself to commit a sin...adultery....not that im insinuating you should... u_u
awwww... poor thing... but i'm sure ur happy for her that she found happiness that's y i always say to ppl not to b scared to approach girls... even if u have to make a fool out of urself just to make her smile...
i hear ya... but if you're shy... u're shy,whether you're a grl or guy... may b wen you meet the right person u'll be brave enuf!!
I like the story! I think it's a great example to some guys out there that just expect happy endings for no good reason. Hope this is motivation for some guys to get a grip on their life and start going after their goals. I don't even feel bad for the poster because now he knows where he went wrong and probably won't repeat the same mistake. This only happens in the movies... truth is, the more a shy person likes the other, the harder it is to approach the guy/girl for the first time.
Awwwwww ur story....-cry2 I hope that u will find that special someone and have the courage to ask her out
