For the Romantically Challenged... This Will Make You Feel Better.

Okay, here's a story for anyone who feels like some unknown force is continually crushing any hope of romance...

At exactly 11:11 last night, [I know it was exact because cell phones know shit like that,] I wished that the one person I've been trying to get to like me for the past well... the past lifetime it feels like, I wished that this would be the year. The year that he would finally ask me out and we could have a happily ever after.

Then, at 11:14, not 5 minutes later than my wish, I got a text from him. Needless to say, I was about ready to cry with joy.

"Hey Jess... I need help."

"Hey. What's up?"

"Help me I'm having girl problems."

"What's up with the girl problems?
Ooo la la tell me who this lucky girl is."

"Umm danielle"

Hey, hold the profanity

I'm sorry (have you ever wondered why people feel the need to apologize when they hear about something bad happening to someone else?). I hope things get better... I can't relate (although I'm sure someone can, and will give you better advice than me). But I hope you feel better about it soon (that, I do have experience with, and you probably won't for a while, but you can try and that will make all the difference)

aww, I'm sorry. If this is true. I hope things patch up :D

Don't forget, though that you have a lot of friends who care about you. I'm sure you'll find a guy who does one day. :)
