Friend Request.... DENIED!
Okay, has this happened to anyone else?
Out of the three recent friend requests I received on Facebook, all three were from girls were I knew in Junior High..... AND all three of three of these Junior High friends I asked out.... only to be rejected (with varying degrees of humiliation).
What really strikes me as odd is that these girls did not become friends in any meaningful sense. We did not speak to each other in High School... much less in college or via email.
I wonder if Facebook now affords them the small consolation of feeling as if they could make good on their promise to "still be friends"?
...Or do I somehow still remind them of more innocent days? Perhaps in their minds I remain a totem of unrequited affection, a perpetual Dawson to their Joey.
At any rate, I did grant the friend request.
...Now to see if they FINALLY want to come over to my house and listen to Vanilla Ice together.
