Hey Marriage buddies! Sweet.Kermi said:Back in 2003 I dated a girl I met through anime conventions. The relationship lasted no time at all - I came on too strong, she was offput by my "clingyness", and after a week she told me she "wasn't really interested in guys right now" - basically using her bisexuality to let me down gently.
Oh, so it's not that you don't like me personally, I just put you off men entirely. Thanks!
Anyway, a few months later I was at her house for a party, a bunch of friends spending a weekend getting drunk and hanging out. After having a pretty good time, I kind of went into sulk mode at some point after midnight because I realised I still wanted her and it just wasn't going to happen. I think there was only about five people left at this point. Her, two of her friends from high school, me, and one guy who was playing Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach volleyball on his modded xbox which also served as a media jukebox - hence why he'd brought it to the party in the first place.
The girls were all making fun of his music selection (and the game itself) and in my sensitive state I wasn't in the mood to hear girls giggling so I went downstairs to play Jet Set Radio on her Dreamcast.
At one point one of her friends came down to hang out with me for awhile but I wasn't really in a chatty mood due to the aforementioned sulking so she went back upstairs.
Months later I was chatting online with the friend - the girl I'd dated originally was kind of on the outs with both of us for some recent bitchy behaviour so we had that in common.
I wound up inviting her to my 21st. She came, we chatted, we made out. She told me months later she'd been trying to hook up with me back at the first party but my antenna was clearly not tuned into Planet Flirt at the time.
We got married two years ago.
Damn double post.
