Ah, the dreaded day that saps romance of all spontaneity. 'Nuff said?
In eight years of blogging, I've told just about all of my unlucky-in-love anecdotes, but here's one that puzzles me to this day.
At my eighth-grade graduation dance, my sights were set on a girl I'd crushed on for four years. As I worked up the nerve to approach her, another girl asked me to dance. I put out my hands in acceptance, but she ran away crying.
Up to then, she and I had been friendly, but I hadn't been asked to dance much before. I regret if my gesture somehow signaled disinterest or reluctance. I didn't get the chance to ask or explain.
