When I was in high school, I had a huge crush on a foreign exchange student from Germany named Tim. I loved his accent, I’m a sucker for accents, and he seemed like a really nice guy. He was very intelligent and had a great sense of humor. I would hang out with Tim and flirt a little bit and itt all seemed to be going in my favor, then suddenly he started dating my cousin one day.
Of course that hurt me a lot because my cousin and I were very close and I shared everything with her, naturally I had told her about my crush on Tim. In my hurt, I met another foreign exchange student from Germany named David.
David and I became very close friends, we both loved the same things and just loved each other’s company. We’d spend almost every day together. Well, I ended up completely falling for David and it was really hard for me to say goodbye to him when he left for Germany. I am now a Junior in college and David and I are still really good friends. Our relationship now is kind of strange. We can go months and months without talking to each other and then one day I’ll call him or he’ll call me and we talk like we’ve just seen each other yesterday.
As a Freshman in college, I came out to my friends as bisexual. They were all very understanding and supportive of me. Especially one of my girl friends, who will remain nameless. She and I became close and started a little “fling.”
It went really well for a while, then her uncle committed suicide and then everything took a turn for the worse. She became really distant and so I thought I would do something nice for her. I drove home from college, she was still in high school at the time, and placed flowers and a stuffed dog in her locker for Valentine’s Day. When I came back to my dorm room that night we started talking online and she ended our relationship. It hurt me a lot, not because of the actual breaking up but the method in which she chose to do it. We’re both trying to remain friends but our friendship has never been the same.
My love life has had it’s ups and downs but I wouldn’t change anything that has happened. I’m happy with the person I have become because of these ups and downs. I am still young, there will be more ups and downs in my love life; look for a sequel to this story.
