For the shy people

Here's something I found while browsing today. I edited it a bit, for spelling, grammar, and a few other things. You might have seen it somewhere before.
It sort of hits a chord with me. I'm sure I won't be the only one.
________________________________________________________________________
As I sit there in English class, I stare at the girl next to me. She is my so called “best friend”. I stare at her long, silky hair, wishing she was mine. But, she doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. After class, she walks up to me and asks me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I hand them to her. She says “thanks” and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends. I love her, but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
11th grade
The phone rings. On the other end, it’s her. She’s in tears, mumbling on and on about how her true love had broken her heart. She asks me to come over because she doesn’t want to be alone, so I go. As I sit next to her on the sofa, I stare at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After two hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decides to go to sleep. She looks at me, says “thanks” and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends. I love her, but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Senior Year
The day before prom she walks up to me at my locker. “My date is sick, he’s not going to go” she said. Well, I didn’t have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together as “best friends”. So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stare at her as she smiles at me and stares at me with her “sparkling eyes”. I want her to be mine, but she doesn’t think of me like that, and I know it. Then she says, “I had the best time, thanks!” and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends. I love her, but I’m just to shy, and I don’t know why.
Graduation Day
A day passes, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it’s graduation day. I watch as her perfect body floats like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I want her to be mine, but she doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. Before everyone goes home, she comes up to me in her smock and hat, and cries as I hug her. Then she lifts her head from my shoulder and says, “you’re my best friend, thanks” and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends. I love her but I’m just to shy, and I don’t know why.
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of a church. That girl is getting married now. I watch her say ”I do” and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t see me like that, and I knew it. But, before she drove away, she came to me and said, “you came!” She said “thanks” and kissed me on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know that I didn’t want to be just friends. I love her but I’m just to shy, and I don’t know why.
Funeral
Years passed. I look down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my “best friend”. At the service, they have some of her personal items on display. One of them was her high school diary. I open it, and read. On one of the pages, it read: “I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don’t want to be just friends. I love him, but I’m just too shy, and I…”
I wish I did too…I thought to myself, and I cried……… |

| I was going down that path, and the first section of the story seems to summarise my life. But I decided that if I didn't do anything I would be on my own forever. Because, lets face it, not many girls will ask out men. I changed my ways and within a few weeks I had got a girlfriend and im still with her after nearly 2 years. |

a lil corny in the beginning, but def strikes a chord. I was pretty nerdy till i was 14, then i suddenly lost all my baby fat and discovered sports, and that i was good at em. I was still shy, but all the attention i started getting got helped me get over it slowly. I still remember what it was like for the world not to know who you really are and what you're feeling inside tho.
So ladies give a shy guy a closer inspection, you don't know what you're missing. |

First of all the guy in this story is beyond shy, he is a big ing looser. I am sorry but if a guy comes to the point where the girl discusses her relationship problems with him then its very sad. |
heh, not really.

Second of all this story is a big lie, in real life the girl would say this in her diary, "I can't believe this looser has no self respect and lets me walk all over him". |
You must hang out with some really heinous bitches. |

Well he is a loser...and theres no way this story is true.i mean WTF
LOL.If the kid is below the age of 15 i might believe that he is this shy.But come on. I'm not shy by any means..but i do understand how shy people can be. Seriously... any guys around here has never picked up a girl or just blurted out "I like u" to a girl before? I know i do. |
