In the last year of high school, there was this girl in my class who, at the time, I found to be very annoying.

She'd keep teasing me every time about me being her boyfriend. Over and over again. I wasn't so sure what was funny about it, but I assumed it was just a dumb joke that made her laugh. She seemed to enjoy the bit anyway. But I really didn't, and I remember I'd respond quite coldly to her teasing at times.

But she kept going for months despite my unenthusiastic reactions.

I just began to ignore it.

When the second semester arrived, she began to tease me less and less.

One random day during May, I was sitting at the Cafe and, for no real reason other than curiosity, I began to think of her behavior, all that teasing... was she really just mocking me like I thought she was? What an odd way to mock a classmte though. My suspicions arose, and I finally began to understand; but I couldn't believe it still. I looked up in Google

"Signs a girl likes you"

Reading the articles and watching the videos, it was as if they were perfectly describing her own behaviors towards me.

I finally understood, though there were only 2 weeks left until graduation... I understood.

I began to feel deeply flattered, then those feelings quietly and quickly evolved into something more.

The next day was Tuesday, I bought a candy bar from a nearby store and had a fun idea.

I walked up to my classmates and said jokingly, "WHO WANTS A CANDY BAR?". Of course, all of them wanted a candy bar. I fought my way through their extended hands and desperate pleas and gave the girl the candy with a wide smile.

She seemed taken aback and didn't say anything.

That same afternoon, she came to me looking very happy and said, "Jay! Haha, thanks for the candy! It was really delicious. "

"Haha, glad you liked it!"

Over the next 2 weeks, we began to grow a little closer. She started to tease me once again, and I had no problem with it this time. In fact, I was kind of enjoying it, which I think she knew.

I'd tease her too here and there. It was frankly pretty fun.

Every time we were around each other, it looked as though we were both very happy.

But I knew the clock was ticking, and during the final day of high school, we had a philosophy exam.

She finished it before me, and right as she left the classroom, she quietly smiled at me and handed me a small rose saying "Haha Jay! I wanted you to have this~"

My friends, of course, began to laugh hysterically. Their teases that day were brutal.

I pretented not to care about the rose and just kept it untouched on the table.

But right before leaving class, I secretly put it in my pencil case and went back home.

It's the same rose you can see in the picture. I glued it to my diary as I didn't wanna lose it.

It's old, faded, and dry, but seeing it still makes my heart skip a beat.

It has now been almost 2 years since this happened.

In the meantime, two weeks ago, I was rejected by my crush in university, who ghosted my confession letter.

That made me sink into self-doubt for a while...

But today, as I re-opened this old diary to relive some sweet memories, I got to relive the sweetest of them all.

It made me happy. It gave me hope. It gave me what I needed.

It showed me that rejection doesn't mean no one will want or like me. It just means one girl isn't interested. That's all.

I just wanted to share this story somewhere. Hopefully, it made some of you smile, gave some a bit of hope, or was at least entertaining to read.

Take care of yourselves!

I'm sorry in advance as this will be a long story. I hope you'll be patient and enjoy it though.

Ever since i was a child, there was one thing i was always sure of: that i was clearly very ugly.

And so naturally, I never even entertained the hopes of a girl liking me one day when I began to have crushes during puberty.

I was a pretty impressionable kid it seemed: I had a different crush ever year. It was as if I always needed that quiet spice in my life for some reason.

I never did or considered doing anything about any of them: about 5 different girls I had a crush on during middle school and high school. The only thing I did was I liked to stare at them... a lot. At the time, I thought I was being subtle; but now? I'm pretty sure they had all noticed.

One day, with the fifth girl, my friend tried to help me and told her I thought she looked cute, she immediately rejected me and said "uhhh it's better we just stay friends". I was very sad that day. It seemed to confirm everything I thought about myself...

The last year of high school, maybe I had given up, because for the first time since becoming a teen, I had no crush on anyone. It was honestly quite liberating.

But there was this girl in my class who at the time, I found to be very annoying.

She'd keep teasing me every time about me being her boyfriend. Over and over again. I wasn't so sure what was funny about it, but I assumed it was just a dumb joke that made her laugh.

Reading the articles, watching the videos, it was as if they were perfectly describing her own behaviors towards me.

I finally understood, though there were only 2 weeks left until graduation... I understood.

Remember me saying I was a pretty impressionable kid? Well, I began to feel deeply flattered, then those feelings quietly and quickly evolved into something more.

It showed me that rejection doesn't mean no one will want or like me. It just means one girl isn't interested. That's all.

Plus, it made me laugh how all that had happened the year after I was rejected by that fifth girl in HS. Maybe the same pattern will repeat itself who knows.

I just wanted to share this story somewhere. Hopefully it made some of you smile, gave some a bit of hope, or was at least entertaining to read.

So, 3 days ago, I finally confessed to this girl I've been interested in for half a year now (and who i thought was interested too); gave her a pretty creative and funny confession letter on the last day of the school year.

And of course, I didn't get any response even after 2 whole days. Today being the 3rd.

Yesterday morning, I grew tired of waiting for something i knew was never going to come and I sent her the following message

"I assume your silence means no. I understand. Enjoy your summer vacation I guess"

Basically had to do her own dirty work of rejecting me for her...

There was no response to that too of course. Classic.

But weirdly enough, yesterday, I didn't really feel like I expected I would. I thought I'd break down crying and wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it all week.. y’know like they do in the movies when they get rejected by their crush...

But I felt okay??? Like I was kinda hurt, yes, but I could still function normally:

I laughed at funny reels, I talked to my family and friends, and I happily ate pizza for dinner!!

So yeah... I guess I'm doing pretty well.

Just wanted to share this story with you guys.

Maybe being rejected isn't all that bad? I mean, now at least, I can finally stop thinking about her all day and move on without any regrets.

I hope this encourages or gives hope to someone who needs it.

Have a wonderful day 😊!

So there's this classmate of mine (F19) in uni.

We've always had a pretty fun and casual relationship since last year (1st year of undergrad); tho I have noticed she'd sometimes seem kinda ankward and nervous around me.

On the 10th April of last year, I was struggling to play some videos for my class presentation, and she helped me out a LOT and basically saved my grade that day. So I naturally felt enormously grateful and thanked her.

When I came back and saw a message from her (related to that presentation she was helping me with), I reacted to it with a red heart emoji and didn't think much about it.

Except the next day, she started acting... odd.

She immediately said hello when I sat in class but this time with this wide smile and nervous laugh.

Afterwards, she began to sit near me in class, always initiating conversations and trying to make me laugh (I sometimes would laugh just so she wouldn't feel bad tbh 😅). She'd also begin to constantly tease me about "wanting to marry me" and "really liking me" publicly playing it for laughs I guess?

She settled down after a week or so. So I assumed it was just her being weird.

But this year, it began happening again just a month ago or two: she'd tease me about liking me, would always be respond to my messages in the class group chat and play along with my stupid jokes with stupid jokes of her own, would take pics of me in class and post them there as funny stickers...

One time she was absent in class, she asked the group chat to send a pic of me since she "missed me", and when they did she reacted to it with this emoji:

🫦

Lol I mean it's obviously played as a joke.

But yeah, I don't think I can keep justifying this without sounding any more oblivious.

I think she may have a thing for me..

But what do you guys honestly think? Do girls usually do this type of stuff with other guys?

I don't wanna jump into conclusions..
