5 years ago, I was 15, and had never had a girlfriend, had never had a girl like me, and had never had the slightest glimmer of hope of one liking me. Bad attitude, both towards myself and others, no ambition, no looks, just literally nothing. I was so desperate that I never even got oneitis, as I'd have done almost any girl I came across anywhere.
I also once wore a denim shirt with jeans.
Anyway, on the last day of school one year, I hugged one of the girls I liked, and she said "oh my god, you are SOOOO cute
". You have no idea how enthralled I was at this. This was only the second time in my life that I had HUGGED a girl, and got what seemed like an awesome reply. After about 3 days of obsessing over it, I finally had to find out what she "meant" by it, and googled it hoping to find something along the lines of "I want to marry you and have tons of kids, right now".
I came across Sosuave and realised what an idiotic, pathetic, errant twerp I was and had always been. I spent that entire summer reading the site and putting stuff into action, I registered at some point later that year too.
