Awkward and Love: Bad start

Bad start

By Anonymous - 20/11/2010 00:49 - United States

Today, I was running the track at my school. My crush of two years was running in front of me, so I decided to catch up and finally talk to her. When I caught up, the only thing I could think to say was, "What's your name?" even though I already knew. She replied, "Natalie". Her name is Melissa. FML

Today, I was paired up with my long-term crush for a project. She introduced herself to me and asked if I was new this year. We've gone to the same school since kindergarten. FML

Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other slowly backing away as we both realised that we didn't know each other. FML

Today, I ran into my crush of three years ago. We used to always walk our dogs together. He still remembered my dog's name. He didn't remember mine. FML

Today, I was on my first date with my crush. When I saw her, I greeted her with, "Hey, sweetheart." She's convinced I said, "Hey, retard." FML

Today, while running, I sped up to show off for a cute female runner I'd seen before up ahead. I passed her and not more than a minute later she sprints past me. I couldn't catch up. She not only out ran me, but waited to tell me it was a 'nice try'. FML

Today, I ran into my childhood crush. She was the one who made me realize I was bi, and I was enthralled by her. Too bad she was straight. She's only gotten more attractive, and now she's in my program. FML

Today, I was at the gym when I noticed a girl I like working out on the elliptical. I went to go say hi, but chickened out and went to run on the treadmill in front of her instead. I was so nervous that I tripped and the machine threw me headfirst into her machine. FML

Today, on my college visit, I met a perfect girl for me, sweet, gorgeous, on the same career path. I remember everything we talked about, where she is from, what sport she plays, and her recent internship. But when I went to look her up online, I couldn't remember one thing, her name. FML

Today, I went on a run with my crush. She expressed how happy she was to have a decent running partner, because the last one kept complaining he thought he might throw up. We got to the top of the hill and I puked right in front of her. FML

Today, I ran into someone I'd never had a crush on in school, but because I've realised we have a lot in common, I get nervous whenever I see him. I was so near to him while paying for food that I had an anxiety attack, and had to leave quickly. FML

Natalie, Melissa, pretty much the same thing if you ask me. It's either that or she has alter egos.

You've have a crush on a girl for 2 years who you obviously have never spoken to because you knew her name but she had so little knowledge of you that she gave you a fake name. I have 2 words for you that I think will be in your near future, Restraining Order

don't be sad about this, you wouldn't want to be with someone this self-involved.

how is it you have a crush on her for two years and haven't talked to her enough to be on a basis with her where you have asked her name already

Well... It's possible that: 1) you got her name wrong and it really is Natalie. 2) she could go by both; one could be a nickname or a middle name that friends call her by rather than her real one (and don't say that's ridiculous just because they're two very different names. I personally get called by a few different names, including Isabella and Guinevere). 3) she knows you know her name and decided to answer your stupid question sarcastically/ jokingly, without intending to actually lie to you about it to get rid of you. Of course, that last bit is also possible, but I'm trying to be positive here :)
