Here are the possible scenarios:

1. It was only 5 minutes, and you're insecure over the fact that he's "ignoring you" when the reality is that he has a life outside of his phone. In which case, get over it.

2. You got his number from somewhere other than asking him "Hey, what's your number". In that instance, I don't blame him. If I got texts from a random girl, my first reaction would be "Who is this, and where did you get my number?!" not "We should totally date."

3. You're both in High school...in which case MOVE ON, YOU'RE IN MUTHERF***ING HIGH SCHOOL!

I'm guessing at least 2 of these are true.

Took the words right out of my.. fingers.

You can say motherfucking on the internet. What are you, in high school?

agree with 42, this is NOT the way to hit on a guy you like, getting his number all creepily and texting him... of course he wants to know who it is because you could be hot, but then after he realizes its you and that you're fat and ugly he stops texting because he never wanted you to have his number in the first place... ydi for not getting it in real life from him

shallow much. It doesn't matter how hot the girl is, unless you are into creepy stalker sex then you need to leave that alone. No matter if she is fat or ugly, stalking is never attractive.

yeah, looks more like she's an ugly, creepy teenager with no life who steals phone numbers... freaking stalker, ydi

I can't agree more. Once I received a text from an unkown number asking me out for dinner. How did I feel ? Horrible.

My friend (girl) did to this me. I was not creeped out at all, i was pretty glad about it. Depends on how the person feels about the txter.

pfft.. and how can you say this? thats mature from an 18y old... speakingfrom personal experience? Gotten dumped and got slutty?

"You will never feel as strongly for something in your entire life as you do when your in high-school."

Is this speaking from personal experience? If so, then I feel extremely sorry for you. I may not again be as irrational and prone to getting depressed, but I definitely feel more strongly for many things now than I did when I was in high school. High school crushes are usually more self delusion than love.

I can't imagine looking at my current long term boyfriend and thinking, "This is nice, but it really doesn't live up to when I used to stare all googly-eyed at Bobby McGee from across the lunchroom. Ahh, those were the days... the loneliness, the unfulfilled desire, the self-doubt. I guess I'll just have to settle for passion, a deep understanding of each other, and shared humor and values. Waking up next to someone who makes me happy every day sure is getting old. Oh, how I long for the days when I had only my pillow to hug at night!"

Next time you sit and just stare at your significant other and feel all of those emotions swirling in your head, the passion, the uncertainty, the longing, then you can say your feelings were as intense as they were in school.

I'm not saying that it doesn't get better, or that the relationships don't get more rewarding, I'm simply stating that the level of emotion you feel in your adolescent years is unsurpassed by anything you are likely to feel afterwards. How many people feel like they would die for their love? How many teens do? I'm not saying its rational or realistic, but the level of raw emotion is unlikely to ever be matched by a reasonable adult. Anyone who disagrees must have completely blocked out what it was like to have been young.

Maddog, are you trolling or are you serious?

The thing that was different about being in love in high school is that my self-esteem was contingent on how he treated me. Did it make it hurt more? Sure, but more pain does not equal more or deeper feeling. The feelings I have now are wider spread and extend beyond myself. The love I feel now for my boyfriend runs much deeper and will last much longer. The passion I feel about my life's work makes me feel more alive than anything made me feel in high school.

Different aspects of the adolescent brain develop in stages. The dopaminergic system, which regulates affect and mood among other things, begins to go through serious changes at around age ten, but the cognitive structures which allow for self-regulation don't begin to mature until later in adolescence. The affective circuitry is very sensitive to reward cues, the most salient of which during adolescence are social acceptance and rejection. Adults are sensitive to these cues as well, but because various cognitive pathways are more mature in adults, they are better able to regulate how they react to them. So there is some truth to what you say, Maddog, in that adolescents react more strongly to reward cues, but there's a lot more to emotion than just desire for reward. (This, by the way, explains why more adolescents say they would die for love--because social reward cues are highly salient to them but their capacity for future planning and prediction of future affect are underdeveloped.)

If you want a less scientific perspective, turn to poetry. Wordsworth's "Ode: Initmations on Immortality" is a fairly compelling contradiction to your stance. In particular, he ends up acknowledging that "primal sympathy", "faith that looks through death", and "the philosophic mind" are more meaningful and stronger influences on "the human heart by which we live" than "the visionary gleam" of youth.

Maddog...I have more love for the jacket I'm wearing than I did for Cindy Lou Who from Mrs. whateverthehell's class during Sophomore year...and I forget the damn thing everywhere. High school love is fake love. It's the need for companionship, not the need for happiness. I remember someone who would rotate between boyfriends every 2-3 weeks, and she sure didn't look happy. If that's the happiest she'll ever be...she might as well kill herself. Hell, I'D kill myself, and I'm the most egocentric, narcissist there is.

I've never walked into a room and just burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably over some guy in high school.

If anything, my crushes were fleeting. They meant nothing. I had one bf in high school...I barely shed a tear when we broke up!

I can see what Maddog is saying. I'm a pre-service Middle School teacher and seriously, a fourteen year old's emotions are all over the place. Their whole world is wrapped up around who likes who, who texted who, who looked at who, ect. I can see why a sensitive 8th or 9th grade girl would be really upset by this. Obviously, she will look back on this and think that it was dumb, but she is not at that stage of emotional development yet. We were all at this age once, don't bash the OP for it.

There also was some truth in Maddog's statement "the level of emotion you feel in your adolescent years is unsurpassed by anything you are likely to feel afterwards." Children between the ages of 9 and 14 experience so many changes on a daily basis. (Emotional, relational, physical, social, educational, ect.) There is no other time of life when an individual changes so much. It's no wonder they react so strongly! I don't think that Maddog was implying that middle school love is "real love" (whatever that means) or that adults don't feel strong emotions. Adults just have more life experience and can control their emotions better than adolescents.

@45 same. I'm in high school, have dated a few guys but never cried over any of them. I also keep finding out my crushes have incredibly skanky girlfriends, and I get over it instantly.

And as for the OP, you're a creeper.

You guys are retards. Maddog has written the most logical and intelligent (not to mention something that doesn't make him sound like a total asshole) comment on this FML so far. Idiots.

"Noez Come Backz!!" lol thats hilarious

It was all pretty good.

*Waves* I accept this FML award from the bottom of my heart.

"I luvz you like edward cullen loves bella." lmao, i hate that movie (and book, and all related merchandise)

agreed. My step sister is on Vampire Crack, she went as one for halloween and has yet to take off the fangs or answer to her real name. "I am now Bella." I wanted to slap her.

I agree, there are two paths to any mans heart:
1. through his stomach
2. through his pants

The lesson here is either try to randomly hook up with him, or fix him a sammich. Otherwise you are wasting your time. When was the last time you heard a guy say "I really like her, but she just doesn't ever talk enough or try enough ways to communicate with me"?

I would actually be thrilled by it.

My wife, on the other hand, would at some point probably forcibly end the conversation.

holy cow, i saw your comment before you deleted it. I am now mildly curious as to where you meant to place it.

hahaha it was in reply to #13, but for some reason it appeared down here D:

I'm a little sad and disappointed that you totally stole the conversation idea from Flutist....

she's a thirteen year old girl. you can't expect her to be original.

OP, YDI for being totally creepy. seriously.

I got the idea from Flutist, I admit, but I didn't copy what she said in the conversation :/

I understand you didn't copy the convo. It's just not funny when it's already been done...

yeah. that's true.

I suppose copying is the greatest form of flattery, but really... It is pretty much mine with a twist, its longer. Oooo!

The sad part is he won't visit her in prison.

Lol, thank you. I am glad to be of service. =)
