You like this girl a lot. You're not sure how to approach her. You want to impress her with your approach. Why would you say "hey stupid"? That seems counterproductive to me NevanB. I assume you're joking. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)
I had this HUGE crush on an 11th grader. I was in 10th grade. He played football and was dreamily handsome and ALL the gals had a crush on him. His name was John and the first time I approached him was when yearbooks came out and I asked him to sign mine. I had to tell him my name. He had no clue who I was. Then I did a really brave thing for a very shy girl which is what I was. A couple of weeks later. Where I got the courage I don't have a clue. It helped that he was a very kind person. I asked him if I could wear his Letterman's sweater to that night's (Friday night) football game in which he was playing! I still marvel at my nerve/courage! He said "sure"! I'm not joking. That's what he said. As if it were a reasonable thing for me to ask of him. So I had the joy of wearing it and keeping it until Monday morning when I returned it to him. I put a handkerchief, nicely pressed, in the pocket hoping he would return it to me when he discovered it. He didn't. That is the bravest thing I've ever done. If he had been a jerk he probably would have been rude and sloughed me off. But he was as nice a person as he was handsome so it remains one of the memories from high school that I treasure. I don't think I've ever shared that with anyone on the internet Lulu'sMom! That's how I got his attention! Pretty brazen of me. Very atypical of me then. Of course if he had had a girlfriend at the time I never would have done that because SHE would be the one wearing his Letterman's sweater! I tracked after him in later years and he became a cop. I saw a picture of him. He had gained weight and gotten older as we all do! Life! Sometimes it's amazing! Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)
It was my friend. It is by far the bravest thing I"ve ever done in my entire 79 years! How I got the nerve I don' t know. But he was so kind to me. I actually marvel at his kindest. There aren't many who would have been so nice I'm sure. It could have been humiliating for me but it wasn't. It's a very sweet memory of long ago! Thank you for your reply Lulu'sMom and Happy Friday! :)
Hi there friend!" This may be the start of a beautiful friendship". I'm a HUGE Humphrey Bogart fan. If you are unfamiliar with the line it's from the movie "Casablanca". If you are familiar with it then I'm sure you'll recognize it! :)
