I first met April in college. On her birthday, in fact. Her brown hair was straightened, and she looked like a Victoria’s Secret model with clothes on. It seemed as though everything went right that first day I met her, and I had the feeling it was the start of a passionate love affair. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
The next day I saw April, she barely even looked at me, and when she did, it was with disdain and distrust. After the pleasant day we had upon meeting, I assumed we’d be on the up and up, but apparently I was wrong. If any guy out there has had this happen to them, i.e., if you’ve had a girl completely disown you after a great initial first date, leave a comment below detailing it.
Anyway, I tried with all my might to turn things around regarding our relationship, but she seemed to just shut down, and I could tell I wasn’t going to get anywhere anytime soon.
The worst part is, I began to feel like a pest. She clearly didn’t want anything to do with me, but her initial attitude and demeanor towards me was so extremely welcoming that I couldn’t seem to shake the idea that she liked me, at least somewhere deep down inside.
After countless fruitless attempts at getting her to be even the least bit friendly to me, I gave up. I still think about her from time to time, as you can tell by me writing this article, but I know there’s no future for us.
I guess my point is, some people can flip flop like it’s their job. I still have no clue why April decided I was no good for her, and it bothers me to this day. Maybe one day we can reconvene and I can understand what I did wrong. Till then, I’ll be thinking of her longingly; she was, in fact, quite beautiful.
