I hate it when you can't tell the difference between shyness and disinterest. How many times should you ask someone out before you stop asking? And I know I've been guilty of this in the past, putting people on "hold" until *I* was ready and here they were in their feelings across town because I was unresponsive when in fact I was interested and just a little insecure. Serves me right. Ugh.

FINALLY.

I'm very guilty of that as well. My insecurities have eaten me alive most of my life, so I've rarely sucked it up and told someone that I was interested. The one time I did, I ended up being strung along for two and a half years, so yeah...I'm not really ready to put my heart back out there again.

Another thing I've learned... people talk a good game. They think they are so deep and mature and they're looking for likewise, and then they go about playing this elementary school crap. As you can see, I just picked up my diploma from U Mad (MFA Hating, Minor in FB Stalking).

SFK and AMS - I am right there with you. I'm very insecure and almost never admit to anyone that I'm interested. Very recently a girl I was very interested in strung me along and flirted back quite a bit, even implying she was interested. Imagine my surprise then next morning when I log on and see her fresh new relationship status on Facebook.

The first boy I ever loved...like, seriously...the first person I ever truly felt *love* for came into the store where I work last night with his girlfriend.

I thought I was over that motherf!cker.

As soon as he spotted me, he came over to where I was working and told his girlfriend to "go do whatever, Ima sit here and talk with him." She got an epic bitchface because he didn't even bother to introduce her to me. And so he and I talked for 30 minutes, catching up on all that's been going on in our lives the last few years, and then at the end, he says "Call me sometime, me and you can do something, just the two of us," and he hugs me.

WTF!!!

EVERY SINGLE TIME I realize that I've gotten over him, we have a random chance encounter and everything comes rushing back to me. And it sucks now because I'm thinking about actively pursuing a guy I work with, so it's like....a potential future with the work guy versus rekindling a questionable past with the other guy, who, might I add, I first crushed on when I was like 10 years old.

I'm not used to having a choice of men.

I'm gonna ask a couple questions - Forgive me if they're too personal.

Were you two ever an "item"? Or was it just that you had feelings for him? Because it definitely seems that he was flirting with you, which makes me ask - is he bi? Or is he just hiding that he's gay?

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
