GOOD JOB ALEXA! That was VERY big of you and I am sooo proud of youu!!! <3 It looks to me like everything is going to be fine, but now you've got ME concerned! I am not going to ask you what you did to yourself, but if it is anything violent PLEASE stop! Its not good! <3 And idolcynic, I am sorry to hear you didnt get your job!! You should have gotten it! I am very upset! My mum cant even get a job that she spent seven thousand dollars going back to school to get because she isnt YOUNG! GRR! PEOPLE THESE DAYS! AHH!! I also have something else to say not trying to change the subject or anything at all! I just got back from a dance. A GREAT dance! But now everyone thinks I am pretty much a loser/dork/outcast because I would rather have FUN than sitting in a dark corner SULKING during slow dances because I have nobody to dance with! SO i went with the other SINGLE (woo!) people and we had FUN! Everyone was calling us losers but i was like "f**k YOU!" Yeah, i swore. and gave the finger. I am tired of people coming to these dances JUST to sulk. NO MORE! anyone agree?

Thanks, ibow. Luckily for me, I have a few great friends that I had dinner with and hung out with tonight, so I wasn't depressed for too long today. (I finally swallowed my pride and played the Wii today too. Eek. ) I'll finish five more résumés tomorrow, and maybe I can get another interview in a week or two. I'm sorry to hear that you had some trouble at your dance. It's good you found a way to have a good time. Maybe next time you can prepare a little and find a guy that will dance with you. Don't be afraid to ask because a lot of guys hate having to risk rejection all the time, so they just don't bother.

Alexa that is soooo good, and good for you for doing that because im sure that was probably very hard. But please dont do anything to hurt yourself, thats not a good idea. That really does suck idolcynic, but if you did your best then there isnt anything to be ashamed of, its their loss for not taking you. I'm sorry to hear that you had some trouble at your dance. It's good you found a way to have a good time. Maybe next time you can prepare a little and find a guy that will dance with you. Don't be afraid to ask because a lot of guys hate having to risk rejection all the time, so they just don't bother. Really? well thats interesting to know, but what if you really like a guy but your not sure if he likes you back. Then wouldnt it be kind of awkward to go and ask him to dance if he doesnt ask you?

Well, I got a letter in the mail today stating that I'm not invited to a second round of interviews for that job. I just contacted three of my references, and they said they never even got calls from human resources about me. One of them thought that since the position was a middle management position, maybe they chose someone older. I'm still devastated--why the hell did they even bother to interview me if they had little interest in exploring my qualifications? I had my A-game going on at the interview and the two employees there just sat stonefaced the entire time. They probably never even looked at my portfolio. And after I prepared for this thing for a week... I have a couple other options that I found online that I have connections to. I just want to move up from my current dead-end employer... and I wouldn't mind moving out of Michigan either. aww, i'm so sorry to hear that. i really don't know what it's like, as the only job i've ever considered is McDonald's, but really, i feel for you. you prepared for so long! they definitely should have at least considered you a bit more. eek, no fairness at all. Keep trying and hopefully get another interview! I also have something else to say not trying to change the subject or anything at all! I just got back from a dance. A GREAT dance! But now everyone thinks I am pretty much a loser/dork/outcast because I would rather have FUN than sitting in a dark corner SULKING during slow dances because I have nobody to dance with! SO i went with the other SINGLE (woo!) people and we had FUN! Everyone was calling us losers but i was like "f**k YOU!" Yeah, i swore. and gave the finger. I am tired of people coming to these dances JUST to sulk. NO MORE! anyone agree? oh my. yis, i know. actually, i remember the days back in middle school when that's all we would do. No one would actually dance at the dances. I guess people just went because it was kind of a big deal, and there was always just this little possibility that they may share a dance with someone. Even though it rarely happened. heh, the people in my grade sort of broke out of that in grade 6. Danced were the best things ever. If you had a birthday party, it was expected to be a dance party so everyone could come and dance. It was very normal for myself (and each girl) to dance with every guy there. Cool or uncool. Not because we were s l u t s, but because it was fun. but so much for that, because it all pretty much ended in grade 7. SO ANYWAY. Now the highschool dances are way fun. EVERYONE dances. Just slow dancing is not so much. i havn't slowdanced at a high school dance before, or should i say yet. My friend and i always just stand in the corner and watch everyone dance and talk about how much of loners we are . But actually, we made this rule that we're not allowed to talk about it anymore. So now we make up stupid and random things to talk about. ha. It's fun. So that's how my friend and i spend out time during slowdances without sulking! GOOD JOB ALEXA! That was VERY big of you and I am sooo proud of youu!!! <3 It looks to me like everything is going to be fine, but now you've got ME concerned! I am not going to ask you what you did to yourself, but if it is anything violent PLEASE stop! Its not good! <3 Alexa that is soooo good, and good for you for doing that because im sure that was probably very hard. But please dont do anything to hurt yourself, thats not a good idea. Thanks guys. <333 Yeah. Skating was fun! She brought her boyfriend, but it was a start. Plus, he used to be a SUPER good friend of mine, so it was all good. also, Kristen barely skated, as she is always afraid little kids are going to knock her down . But Myself and Kayla slowed down to skate with her when she was on the ice. And it having her boyfriend there wasn't so bad. He told me how to get a manicure. ( ) haha, it's true. And also he told me how to understand girls. haha he searched it up apparently. you have to "listen to her" he says. So anyways, after Me and Kayla went to Tim Horton's. Kristen and her boyfriend didn't go, but we asked!! so theres another start!! and also, you guys SERIOUSLY don't need to worry about me! I'm completely fine! I feel so bad i have you worried now. no but really. It was just kind of my remedy to boredom. It was temporary and hasn't happened in over a month. And though not serious, won't happen anymore. you really don't have to worry; but thanks for being concerned! <3

Welcome to our world. You risk rejection when you ask someone out, and it hurts your pride the first 30 times you're rejected. You eventually just get used to it, and things work out if you're persistent and not too hung up on one particular person (before you become a couple, that is).
Taking the initiative is better than doing nothing.

Yah but its so scary to ask somebody out because if you get rejected then yah...it sucks. But yah I guess if you really want something to happen you have to try for it.

idolcynic, it sucks about your job interview, but i'm glad to hear you're okay and still trying hard alexa, STOP HURTING YOURSELF. i'm glad to hear you haven't done it in a while, but it can happen again... or you can feel like it. believe me, i was there. i had a VERY hard time in grade 9... hurting yourself is just NOT WORTH IT. i barely know you, but i care too much about you as a human being for you to let yourself do that. oh, and the only dances i go to are ones where i'm volunteering, so i dance I disagree off i love dancing, it's so much fun! i can't remember the last time i went to a dance and didn't dance. it's too much fun to just let go and go crazy! don't let the "cool people" who don't have fun get you down! (who says they're cool anyway? at least you know how to have fun )

haha yeah really! Glad it worked out alexa! ;D Oh and yeah your right, combatbaby! Who said THEY are the cool people?? ... hmm. i will grill everyone until i find out haha! And one time I saw this shirt in a magazine (teen vogue i think..) and it was a shirt that said Oui Wii. LOVED IT! And idolcynic, its great to have a guy on here.. and prepared to be bombarded with advice Hope you dont mind. Okay, so there is this guy in my afternoon classes that I really like. He is so cute, and he is so MUSICAL! He plays the violin, the guitar, and saxaphone, and one more that i cant for the life of me remember. He is a whiz in science class, and he likes to rebuild old cars. He likes the same music I like, AND I LIKE HIM SO MUCH! I dont know what to do My (ex)friend keeps on FLIRTING with him while she is going out with the guy i used to have a crush on! I finally got over them when they started going out. -_- BUT I dont kno! It seems like I dont deserve him... but I really really like him! And I cant tell if he likes me back! BOYS ARE HARD TO UNDERSTAND! So i need some help! Like, maybe ways to spark up a conversation, and make him see that there is more to me than being a drama queen and I can be cool. help guys?

BOYS ARE HARD TO UNDERSTAND! I completely agree with you! And yah idolcynic since your a guy maybe you could help understand. Because thats seriosly what I have problems with to trying to start a conversation because when you have no idea what to say or what to talk about,thats why its hard to talk to guys you like.

I kinda know what you mean. One of my old best friends from high school is now going out with one of my ex-girlfriends. My strategy is "Out of sight, out of mind," so I haven't talked to either since, even though I don't hate them. Right now, I'm single and am not looking very hard for a girlfriend. I'll start looking again once I get a job that's better than entry-level in my field. It really depends on what kind of guy the one you like is. Unless he's shy or he's a player who likes to mess with girls' heads, I think most guys are direct about who they like. I think most guys want a girl who is happy with herself and is not going to create a lot of drama. Teenage guys probably will take any girl who's hot and ignore the personality, but most of us get a bit more picky when we're older. In your case, I guess the test would be to try to touch him (in a G-rated way of course ). Most guys don't mind being touched by girls they like. If he doesn't respond or flinches, it probably means that things aren't going to work. Regardless, you shouldn't say that you don't deserve him because that just sets you up for failure. Anything you want to add, combatbaby?
