[b][u]this should be everything you asked for in detail... Sorry its long. But its every bit as usefull to you.[/u][/b] 7 years... This red headed girl... Lets call her Olive for now... So yeah 7 years... Middleschool through Highschool crush...I was under a short leash of my parents so i wasnt able to really talk to her like i wanted to until year 7... Now what im about to say is probably not in your realm of reality but this was my experience... We were pretty much twins mentally. In fact i think the best way to describe it was that i sat down and we became two running faucets followed by a synchonised inhale+sigh as we looked in each others eyes... In a time perspective, this was the third day of school i was 16 she was 18 School school school... I take her on a date to the movies. And pay for everything of course. In october she begged me to go to the Halloween dance. I went and danced in her group of friends all night... Even aking her to a slow dance (because screw it. Lol) didnt pull anything else that night though... Later on we did a history project together and studied for two test together at lunch where i saw her and our friends every day Along comes January 16th and i hype her up to go to winter formal When i got there we huged at the door, i said she looked beautiful and we walked in BOOM! Slow dance! I offer and... We may have gotten a bit into it... Nothing graphic but still... So yeah start the couple clock here. Ima breef over the rest if the year... Saw her at lunch,choir, and history every day. Also watched both her tap dance classes. Met her whole family at her house... School school school... OK so here we are a day after school ends... I become well known and respected at my school by adults and students (wouldnt say popular because that would entail i changed which i didnt) but i digress... Day after school ends and its prom... I bought: Tickets A new suit A new wallet New dress shoes Got my hair profesionally done So on and so on the money flys. Half a year of yardwork seemingly welll spent... She stands me up... I dance with her a total of 5 seconds out of three hours because she invited her other friends... Still i pay for dinner and keep a calm and un imaginably patient attitude... 2 days after prom (May 31st 9:31pm) ... She breaks up with me for... Drum roll please... No reason stated... I asked our friend if it was because she was graduating... She said no... Otherwise than that there was no reason. acording to everyone i was a godsend in the form of a boyfriend. So there you go. Side note... Im going to assume here that this applys to you like it applys to some others... For all intent and purposes, i start and end school a week earlier than you and do not have early release days or veterans day off durring that school year... So yeah finall numbers for you [b]7 year crush[/b] [b]talking first week of school[/b] [b]relationship starts on 1/16/15[/b] [b]relationship ends on 5/31/15[/b] Now your most likely wondering... [quote]you spent 7 years chasing a girl you would only date for a half a year, working the entire time for enough money to keep everything going perfectly smooth, only to be stood up and left at the worst time possible... Was it even worth it?[/quote] To this i answer [b]Every last second of it... I will never regret a single thing about us for as long as i live.[/b] Side fact of fun My last gift to her (was never able to give) was a set of pearl ear rings set in sterling silver (i found the pearls personally while scuba diveing in hawaii a year prior) it took all that year to earn enough money to make them "for the right person". These were set in a sea shell jewl conainer lined with gold And set in a second hand crafted box made 100% of sea shells. Displaying a beautiful scene. Over all about $360.70 =take note this is overkill... No one expects you to do this for a 6 month relationship for any reason XD = [b][u]IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY. FEEL FREE TO ASK. IT WOULDNT HURT YOU TO.[/u][/b]
