Everything happens for a reason.

Oct 10, 2005 10:47

Yesterday I went to Portsmouth with Melissa. On the way home, I asked her out, with every hope and intention of getting over the awkwardness that comes almost entirely from Ryan. Once that is behind me, I have a feeling this relationship has much promise ( Read more... )

Yay for you and Melissa!

But uhh thanks for the phone call last night. I'm sorry I missed it, I have a feeling it would have been highly entertaining. You boys :-P

wow rich, nice way to make it seem like you'd choose girls over your own friends any day.
i don't understand how you can not understand why that would be akward for ryan; it is his sister you know. and if anyone's making a big deal out of it, you can blame me because i personally thought it was a lot weirder than he did. you should be happy that ryan still wants to be friends with you, because if it were my sister, i dont think i could even handle that.

I have considered Ryan's point of view, and I, as well as almost every other person that knows the situation, think that Ryan is overreacting. He has talked to me many times about it, and there is no real reason he has given me except that he thinks it's going to become awkward between him and me, and I am out to prove him wrong.

I don't understand why you can't see it my way. If you were in my shoes, maybe you could understand how this all makes me feel. Who is Ryan to tell me who I can and can't have crushes on or date? Do I have to run every girl I like through him? Should I have to? Maybe you should take a step back and look at this from both sides.

And as to me choosing a girl over my friends, I haven't done that, and I don't plan to. And isn't it a bit hypocritical to accuse me of that, when you choose Ryan over your friends all the time?

I am certainly not mad or pissed at you, but your comment makes me feel like you didn't think before you posted.

i guess i understand where you're coming from, but i do have to disagree with the statement that i pick ryan over my friends all the time. because that is NOT true, and there is no way that you can even say that because who are you to know when i do and when i do not hang out or talk with them ? actually, ryan and i have a lot of mutual friends.. i thought you were one of them ?
thank you for making me feel personally attacked.
and rich i have looked at this situation from your perspective and to be honest- i dont understand how you could act so deeply interested in one person one minute, and then get over her in the blink of an eye to go on and try to find another girlfriend ? it seems like the relationship process of a middle school boy.
i'm done with talking about this, i probably should have never said anything to begin with, but i hope you won't get overly offended and hold it against me for the rest of your highschool life. i do value you as a friend you know, and it wouldn't be the same without you.

I won't hold it against you, and I didn't mean to make you feel attacked, but I guess I do owe you an explanation as to how I got over Brittany so fast. You see, I knew deep down that she didn't feel the same way, so I guess you could say I was over her already when she told me the truth, because I had known it myself for a while. I know on the outside I said to you well I think she does, but deep down I knew the truth.

And I agree, high school wouldn't be the same without you either. I'm sorry if I made you feel bad.

rich isnt the only one to blame in this situation, it takes two to date and if people have a problem with it they shouldnt just be mad at rich. actually they shouldnt be mad at either of them because i personally only think its melissa and rich's business. sure ryan has the right to find it a little bit awkaward but u cant help who you like. no one else seems to have a problem with it.

actually, i'm not just mad at rich. i was just commenting because what he said in his journal really bothered me. so please don't get all defensive. and by the way, you can leave your name because i know who you are anyway.
