But yeah. That friend of Shayla's. That was the roommate, you know, the one who started the whole thing a year ago by getting married. TOLD ME that she thought I should still pursue her. So you know what I did. I wrote a letter, to Shay. 7 pages. That letter had everything in it. All my feelings, even the VERY negative ones. Instead of mailing it, I GAVE it to the friend. Telling her she can mail it if she wants. If she tossed it, I don't care either way. I did that over a week ago.
OP, you should have just told that friend off. What are these people, schizoid? It's good to put all your feelings down on paper, but you're not supposed to deliver that piece of therapy to anyone. You're supposed to tear it up and throw it away, or burn it (I find flames very purifying, myself.) Do more of that, until the emotional charge is gone. But DON'T give your writing to anyone!

Damn I wish I knew. But I couldn't tell her off, I was at work.

Once you gave the paper away, you gave control away. If you kept the paper, your emotions and such were completely in control. I'm curious if in a month or so you'll be back, wondering why you didn't receive any response to your 7 pages. =c(

Turns out I have to do one more year of undergrad to get my GPA up before I can do any Grad School. If I do school, even if I leave the state to do it. I'll have to do it in the Fall. But like I said, money is coming up short. My parents started charging me rent.

I haven't heard from "S" (everybody knows who I am talking about here) for 6 months now. Her best friend talked to me one day saying I should still pursue her. And that girl's aunt came into the store, and asked if I knew that group of girls. She asked if I knew "S", I said I did, and she just fecking tells me "You two would make a cute couple.", so I still get reminded of it.

My parents are putting this house up for sale, so we are moving in a month or two.
Calling her "S" still counts as talking about her. I thought we agreed that there would be no more posts about her. If someone mentions her to you, just ignore them or tell them that you two aren't interested in each other.

O lawd.... If you didn't finish undergrad with a good GPA what makes you think getting a graduate degree with mediocre grades is a path to success?

You could join the military with an officer's commission possibly.....

Go learn a trade

Go into sales

Umm, Desert Kid...FYI, friends discuss sexual stuff ALL THE TIME. Obviously, there are boundaries, but many of my male and female friends talk and laugh about sex. It's usually not a big deal. Oh, and just because someone flirts with someone doesn't automatically mean that she's romantically interested in him. "Flirting" is just a fun thing to do for some people. It can lead to cool and humorous moments when all parties involved just "get it" and roll with it. It can lead to awkward moments when someone misses or misinterprets things.

I'm with Zen, you read too much into this, perhaps due to your desperation of wanting a girlfriend in the first place. Nevermind the romantic stuff not working out...you've likely lost a friend. Oh well...hopefully you'll learn from this and don't become too bitter towards women (although I'm already seeing signs of that, sadly).
