Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I suppose I

I suppose I had it coming to me. Of course I knew it would happen. 

I went to my crush's bar mitzvah, and of course just as I was wishing him mazel tov his girl friend had to come up to him and give him a hug. Of course.

Now I feel bleh.

It's not like I didn't know he had a girlfriend. I did. But I had never met her before, or seen him with her. The reality didn't really make it's way into my brain. Also, I was practically convinced that he liked me. Practically, untill I saw her. It's really just plain bleh. And I know that I might be too young to worry about this kind of stuff, it's just that I care! I really care! And the fact that he's dating someone is just really hard. It really makes sense that he has a girlfriend. After all, he's friendly, and sweet, and funny, and really good-looking. I'm not sure what to do, because we have assigned seats next to each other on Monday during tfillah (prayer). And since school is starting again on Monday, that means I'll have to sit next to him. I don't know how I'll be able to do it. 

As I've mentioned before, bleh.

Aww, OtR! That's sad. I hope you handle alright on prayer day! I for one am really excited to see all my friends and cellists at school in two days. Just. Two. DAYS!! YAY I'M SO EXCITED!! [note: Rare display of emotion observed from Scylla. Will record and discuss later.] Speaking of cellists, I need to practice soon! Oh no! Argh I'm using too many exclamation points (!). What is happening to me!? :shakes self violently: Okay, I feel better now. Good luck, Over The Rainbow! (Again with the exclamation points.)

Thanks, Scylla. You're really kind. 

(BTW, we actually have Prayer on Tuesdays and Thursday as well, but at least we don't have assigned seats.)

Top.

Oh, sorry OtR!

I really don't know what else to say... but I'm really sorry for you!

In my opinion, 13 is too young to have a girlfriend. But I get what you mean about bleh. Maybe during tfilla you could just ignore him? I don't know if that would be possible at your school.

You're not too young to worry about this. I feel really bad for you.

Do you think you could try just being friends with him? Or at least acting like he's only your friend? Even after you met his girlfriend?

I'm really bad at advice.

I already am friends with him...but I always have also had a crush in him. And yeah, I guess I'm trying to do what you said.

Toto says mmay. Almost a word. Come on, Toto! You can do it! 

 

Try to stay friends, because that current girlfriend may not be his future girlfriend.

Oh . . . Otr. I know how you feel. Kind of. I had a crush on this guy at my church when I was 8/9, and I told another girl at my church that I liked him and she told him. I have never gotten along with that girl since. Although, over about 4 years, things have repaired between me and that guy.

I know how you feel. This probably won't help, but just remember that you are amazing and that you don't need a boy to complete you! And somewhere out there God made a boy that is perfect for you and he will treat you like a queen. You may have to wait a while to meet him, but he's out there. And what boy wouldn't like you? Your crush is missing out.
