I decided to go out with my friend's Step-Brother. I figured it would make us closer, have fun and all that jazz. When I found out that he liked me, I was in heaven. A few months later she came up to me (No names due to Embarassment) and looked nervous. "What?" I asked her. "Uh...I slept with your boyfriend." It took me a hot minute to realize what she said.

I immediately tried to hold back tears and anger. "WHAT?" was all tha could come out my mouth. …

I loved him. I was a virgin when I meet him, I gave him everything. I did lots of crazy things for him. He was older than me by 5 years. I was just 14. We went out for one year and four months. Than he cheated with some bitches from the corner, you know what kind of girls I'm talking about,in other words, he didid't valued me.
But I forgaved him. Because I loved him. 2 weeks later he did it again. I broke up with him. One …

He was exotic: he thrilled the class with stories of his junkie, artist mom in New York City and angry, outlandish dad from some pacific island, all in that soft accent from nowhere in particular. He was gorgeous in a way no one else in the small-town southern school was, and he caught my eye immediately.

I was an artist and a bookworm, a writer with a group of good friends and a clear place in the structured high school society. I had known everyone in that place since …

It's difficult to know where to start. I met Michael a little over 3 years ago and knew at once that he was absolutely the person for me. When I saw him everything blurred but he stayed in sharp focus. I fell in love then and there and have yet to stop. For a while things were perfect, like a faerie tale, but he got bored. I could see it and all I could think to do was to hold on tighter. From then on, our relationship was a roller …

Mine didn't love me as much as I loved him. I knew better than to stay. I did anyway. I was threatened, punished, and all in the name of love that was a frail and dying as a wax depleted candle.
I finally gave up. I gave up on us, and worst of all on myself.
Then he wants me back? Why? He's told me to my face that he does not love or trust or respect me, that I am unattractive, and that I barely qualify as a girl.Read more »

We'd been friends for eight years. He'd spent the first few months of our acquaintanceship (when we were teenagers) sort of smitten with me, but past that it was platonic-a-go-go. He was one of those guys, the ones that you think, yeah, he's a great guy - how come I'm not attracted to him? I wasn't. Not an inch. Not a sliver. Nothing.

And then somehow, one day, when the rest of my life was in complete chaos there he was. All …

He was pretty - and intelligent. He was also dating someone else. He could listen, and watch silently. He held my hand when I was too proud to ask. He knew how to wait for it. He waited, sleeping naked next to me for months before I let it happen. Before I could do it: and then I did. My legs and my heart opened for him. I loved it. He saved my life and taught me how to love again …

I met Brian at my cocktail party. He was the first person to show up, and the one I dated for over six years. I was drawn to his interest in the arts, his willingness to converse, and his many opinions.
A working-class New Jersey boy with a salesman’s sensitivity to feelings, mostly his own, Brian also suffered. His youthful temper outbursts had earned him the nickname “The Bomber.” He complained about a battery of health issues, including a bad back. Among Brian’s harmless obsessions, he rhapsodized about the …

I remember my first ever relationship, it was when I was 4 and living in Germany. He was a 6 year old Polish chap. He taught me how to tie my shoe laces and substituted sand for snow when Winter wasn't cold enough. He was a gentleman by birth.

Yet all my ex did was print me a letter for Valentines saying he'd rather save his money but wishes me well anyway. Needless to say, he didn't even bother giving it to me himself.

I'm over it, so no need to keep it posted...

I have had so many exes, Its hard sometimes to keep track of at what time period I dated one or the other. You see, I am still quite young, 21 to be exact. And I already am married with two kids. I think I needed to get all that dating out of the way so I could meet my fabulous husband at a young age and spend as much life together as possible.
But on the topic of exes and not my fabulous husband, I must …

Let's take things back to the halls of junior high. You know the scene: mirrors in lockers, LLBean backpacks, and not a child over 5 foot. As children, we had trouble passing eachother in the halls, so the gods of the office marked our paths with colored tapes, to remind us what voice volume was appropriate. Crossing those lines were the worst of our worries.
Love. Dating. Relationships. At twelve years old, we thought we were ready for them, yet most of us couldn't even spell them on our …

I loved him within a week. His name was Christian and he lived on Gentile Street. He never found that as amusing as i did. We were together for a while. We were planning our life together.

We had a fight over text, it was over something i cant even remember about. We never talked again. I had no closure.

I'm over it now, but it took double the time our relationship was. I often still think …

Penny found a shiny cent
when cash flow was a trickle.
I tarnished in her fist, unspent
until she found a nickel.

It started in Precalculus Honors, or so he says. He jibed at me for my pencils and sushi eraser. I hated him. I hated him for his arrogance, his disdain, his rudeness. All the while he was smitten by my stellar light speed math skills. Yes, I know how to win those jock boys. It took six months of future awkward encounters and chance meetings before we started dating . I left for Mexico and transformed before the eyes of my high school. …

He was my first everything,and i loved him but i hated being his mother, maturing while he did not, we were moving at different levels, and sometimes i was ashamed of him. I met my current boyfriend while we were together and i did not want to cheat on him so i broke up with him and immediately hooked up with my current boyfriend. I kept going back to my ex though, i didn't want to be his girl but i didn't want to let him go, and when i …
When we first met, I was young (13? 14 maybe?) and niave. He was cute and just dangerous enough to make him go from an almost effeminate beautiful to downright sexy. 3 Months later I found out he was more than just a little dangerous. He had contacts that could get him any info he wanted. He now knew where I lived, my home and cell phone numbers, and a picture of me. 3 months later, he was threatening my boyfriends. A year after that he threw knives at my …

This boy was my world. My life. He was there when everyone walked away. . .but when I started to pick my life back up. He walked away.

He was amazing. The person I always wanted. He would know how to listen and hold my hand. He did whatever I wanted. I would sing horribly with him when he sung amazingly. We would dance in parking lots while all our friends laughed at us. Being with him everyone knew that we were so amazingly happy. Everyone thought that it …

There were 4. Now, looking back, they were pathetic. I have surpassed them all.

And no, you can't be my on my friends list on Friendster or MySpace. :P.
