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?

    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
    • I'm not a Derek fan at all (and not even all that much of an Ashley fan, but man has she become awful in their relationship--like she's not even trying.  But also I admit, I don't think I'd ever live with someone, even someone I was married to (I know they're not married) in a bachelor apartment unless I had to.  Even just a one bedroom would make a big difference.  I'd probably end up hiding in the bathroom a lot

    • Going back to this, I'm even more confused why Amanda would say that only a year later (lazy writers), because I'm watching April 29, 1996 right now and literally all of the current on-air Spauldings (Alan, Alex, Amanda, A-M) and Coopers (Buzz, Lucy, Frank, Eleni) are on a plane together for Lucy/A-M's wedding. Along with Reva (which right now makes sense because she's married to Buzz), Dahlia (so out of place, but by default because they can't let a high school kid they just took in stay home alone), and a very random Rick (he's barely had any interaction with any of these characters all year haha).  It's like a madhouse on that plane, which is pretty comical because most of them don't get along... but they very much know each other. Still miffed that Bridget is totally forgotten here. And David. And Nick/Susan! Couldn't they have waited to fire them until after this wedding?  It was only like 2 months later. They had to make Alan be A-M's best man (which is wild to me) bc A-M doesn't even have any real friends on the show right now.
