I was 7. Girl named Chandler. Gave her this special valentine day card. Didn't work so well, because she tore it up in my face and threw it in the trash. A simple no would have sufficed.

I think I was...11. I was in love with her, then we lost touch, and I fell in love with a different girl named Alice. She rejected me, which broke my heart, but fortunately, my original love and I reconnected, and now I love her again.

I guess I would say 17, though I'm rather certain if it was love and by all accounts I'm probably still am in the same situation right now, suffice to say I've never had love reciprocated; or for that matter directed towards me. She was, to go into detail, quite a bit too much to forget, but a friend... or should I say a "friend" ruined it for me.

Which if you'll allow me to rant, bothers the hell out of me. I think I might feel more solace in the whole thing if I were ugly or unintelligent, rude, unhygienic, or literally anything that makes sense for me to explain. As it stands, I've been described as handsome, confident, funny, intelligent and kind so what kind of fresh hell is this?

At worst I'm vain, but I can't really imagine that overshadowing my other positive personality features. I shouldn't sound so ungrateful, I'm certainly lucky, but I guess it's all the more difficult when you know people less attractive, less intelligent and much crueller can find someone to love them but no one for yourself. I'm by no means one of those caddish nice guys. I don't think women only go for jerks, I don't think being polite or holding doors open should make women fall at my feet, but all that just leaves me more confused...

This is why gay marriage will destroy American families.
Gays are made up of gaytrinos and they interact via faggons, which are massless spin 2 particles. They're massless because gays care so much about their weight, and have spin 2, cause that's as much spin as particles can get, and liberals love spin. The exchange of spin 2 particles creates an attractive force between objects, which is why gays are so promiscuous. When gays get "settle down" into a lower energy state by marrying, they release faggon particles in the form of gaydiation. Everyone is a little bit gay, so every human body has some gaytrinos in it, meaning that the gaydiation could cause straight people to be attracted to gays and choose to turn gay.

14, pretty much knew everything about each other, and told each other what we have never told anybody else before. Thought we had something fantastic, then i realized what a popularity concerned bitch she was when she said we couldn't be together because her friends didn't like me and said she didn't want to jump into things any way. Month later, she starts going out with some guy shes known for two hours at a Rollerblade. Worst year of my life have to say.

Don't worry. I've been Isolated since the beginning of time. After a while, you become Master of Isolationism. Then get to help other people become Pada-Hermits. But Physical Representation of Isolation is always useful. Especially for those people who accuse you of interaction with the outside world. Now those people just need to try Isolation!

One night stands aren't any good, really. Long term relationships are ideal. "Scoring" as a system pretty much sucks unless you happen to be a douche.
