Guest Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 This is a girl he has been friends with since they were in diapers. Unfortunately for the young buck, the feelings weren't mutual. I did tell him you probably don't want to skip over the step where you let a girl know you like her and run head first into an I LOVE YOU poem So I'm going to go take him for his first rated R movie at a theater now that he has felt the sting of feelings not reciprocated. He is now a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Should have pulled the classic “throw a rock at her window and serenade her with a guitar” move. That shit never fails 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I originally read this at "My 15 year old wrote a girl poem and I told her he loved her" which didn't make a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked him to show it to me, and he was like “Uhhhh, do you want me to ask her to send a pic of it?” 😂 But he is a very strong writer, so I’m sure it was well constructed. All those years of classical education and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I know that feel, bro, but at least he had the guts to express his interest/feelings. That is its own kind of bravery that not everybody possesses at that age, or sometimes even at any age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Ah, the sorrows of unrequited love. We've all been there. Well, maybe you haven't since you've been with your wife since you were like 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I can still feel the deep cringe in my own youthful attempts at poetry, my condolences to your boy! People say its stings, but remember it burning and at times regurgitating... Here is a sample snippet of my "brilliance" as I recall it: "My face is a icy glaze but my heart is a rage; a testament to the fear of the lash from the world's eye." <---this is me, trying to tell a girl I like her! Tip one to my former self: If you're trying to tell a girl you like her then maybe don't spend the poem's length talking about how hard shit is for you! Stay on target son! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an English teacher who made us write love poems for Valentine's Day, and then made us read them in front of the class. That must have been at least 20 years ago but I still sometimes break out in a cold sweat when I remember it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I spent a good portion of high school writing erotic and romantic poetry to someone I had a crush on. It worked. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 We had a good talk about it after we left the movie, and fortunately he was level headed about it. He was basically just like “She’s one of my best friends and I’ve had a crush on her a long time and it had gotten distracting to not know how she felt, so I just wanted to rip the bandaid off and I feel way better now”. I can appreciate that. I do think it is harder to not know than to know the answer isn’t what you want, especially when you’re a little box of hormones. but this is true even outside of the things of romance, so good experience learning rejection in low stakes scenarios. I really love the person he is turning into as he inches closer to adulthood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could NEVER talk to him about my feelings and personal life, let alone have him ever say he loves the person I’m turning into. Wow. Your kids are liked by their father and he’s rich too? They’ve hit the jackpot. I'll be your Daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
