Harsh But Fair
When I was in high school I went on vacation with my family and bought my then girlfriend earrings to surprise her with when i got back. It was just a simple gift, but she was the first significant other in my life serious enough to even get a nice gift for, so it seemed like a monumental step at the time.
I prepared in my head how I would present her with the gift, but I never expected what would actually happen when I returned. I came back to her introducing me to her new boyfriend and me subsequently being kicked to the curb. That hurt worse than any other event of my young life.
Two years later we got to talking over facebook and I initiated a meet up. She told me she had feelings for me again and I responded with “cool, I’m late for dinner, talk to you later.” BEST MASHED POTATOES EVER WERE HAD. Permalink
