I absolutely love your story!!!! Thank you for enlightening my stressful day. I am so happy for you!!!!! I totally know the feeling...only I still haven't quite found the confidence to actually ask out the guy, I either wait for him or let it pass out, anyways CONGRATS GIRLIE!! Im sure you will fill us on the details??? I hope you have an awsome time, and just be yourself, because I would say your a pretty cool kick *** chick. And please don't dwell on the past... keep looking forward, thinking positive, and be proud of all your accomplishments, and YOU ARE NOT DAMAGED GOODS!!! I think the same as you, but really, ppl are actually more attracted to the determination we have compared to the determination we once lacked! keep up the good work!!!

Yay! I'm so happy for you! You MUST give us details tomorrow!

Ok seriously... the way you wrote your story on how you managed the guts to ask that guy out... was EXACTLY how my brain used to be when I was single. The omgomgomgomg's and all that. SO GREAT to read someone else is a giant nerd like me. (In a good way!!! :P :P :P and ps I love nerds!)

You are so cute!!!!! I seriously think you just need to come to terms with the fact that you are this beautiful little thing now (seriously...you are a doll!) and wait for your self-confidence to catch up with the rest of your bod! Can't wait to hear your follow up :-)

LADIES! Oh my goodness, I am so sorry that I've taken so long to give an update on this thread! As some of you might remember, this was exams week for me, and I had sooo much stuff to take care of that I had to promise myself I would NOT be distracted by my usual websites... Including, sadly, 3FC. But I am pleased to announce that I turned in my very last final paper today, and I am now *officially* on Spring break, and SO ready to get back to posting!

So, about the guy... I am so touched at how much all of you enjoyed the story, and were really rooting for me, but unfortunately I do not come bearing good news. He never called. :( It's been a few days now, so I've had some time to get used to it and begin to move on and all, but I'm not gonna lie, the way I was feeling Saturday afternoon (around the time when I realized he wasn't going to call) was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced in my life. Although I hated not having any kind of interaction with guys ever before, now I'm wondering if I was better off before--even though I was fatter, I also never had to deal with these feelings of being so ugly, or like I'm just the most worthless human being on the planet. Not to mention that I feel like a complete idiot for thinking that a guy as great as him would actually be interested in me! I mean, it just seems so obvious now that the whole thing was just too good to be true, and I feel like I just look like a fool because I was SO excited, and SO eager to tell all of you about it, only to find that in the end the whole experience basically amounted to... nothing. It's so bittersweet to read over the original post now, because I can't believe that I actually could have been so completely wrong about the whole thing. I really thought he was interested, but now I just feel like losing weight made me TOO confident, and this is just reality coming back to smack me on the head and remind me that I'm still the same Meredith I've always been, like "No, Meredith, cute boys are *not* actually interested in you... Silly you for thinking that they could be." :o

I want to be able to put on a brave face here and say that I don't care about it, that I'm still proud of myself for having the guts to ask him out, that there are "plenty of other fish in the sea" (haha), etc... But I also want to be 100% honest and say that, yeah, it REALLY SUCKS. I still like him a lot, and I can't really be mad at him for anything, because (as pathetic as this sounds) I can't really blame him for not being interested in me! I'm not the hottest thing on the planet, nor do I necessarily have the most sparkling personality, and he has the prerogative to be as selective as he wishes... It's not like he rudely rejected me or really did anything to me; he just didn't call. So I don't know what to do, especially since I'm home for Spring break now, so by default I won't even be seeing him for 2 weeks--and by the time we get back to school, won't it be too late to try again? Cuz I mean, to be fair, I suppose it is worth mentioning that he may have taken the invitation much more casually than I did, and since this was finals week for us, he also might have been really busy with his own exams/papers/etc... So maybe that's why he didn't call. I dunno, I feel like I'm so torn between not wanting to get my hopes up about it, but also being really bothered by the possibility that I actually could have just totally read him wrong and thought that he was interested when he really just was not. I do still like him, and if was just a case of bad timing or whatever, I definitely want to give it another shot, but the LAST thing I want is to come across like I'm totally desperate and won't "let go"! :dunno:

My current plan is just to wait until I run into him for the first time at work next quarter - and I'm sure I WILL run into him :rolleyes: - and see if he attempts to offer any kind of explanation, or even acknowledge the fact that something transpired at all. If I feel like I'm still getting good vibes from him, I dunno, maybe there's still a chance that something will happen. I do think it's kind of crappy that he wasn't just honest with me (either about not being interested, or if he is then he could have at least called to let me know he was too busy that weekend, right?), but I can forgive him for bad timing, or for being a stupid boy, y'know? On the other hand, if it feels incredibly awkward and like he's trying to avoid me or whatever, I've already done most of my "grieving" (um, last Saturday afternoon = me listening to sad music and crying), so I guess if he's really just not interested, I'll just have to set my eyes on looking for my next conquest, eh?

I really do appreciate how supportive and soooo nice you all have been, and I'm truly sorry that I couldn't give you a more positive/interesting conclusion to the story... I had made you (and myself) so proud, and now I just feel a disappointment. Hopefully I will have better luck with the next one! :p

Ok first of all, he's not such a great guy if he treated you like that. And be happy you learned that sooner than later, trust me. Therefore, you are better off without him. And if he attempts to contact you in the future, you should totally set a date up with him and stand him up :)
Maybe I'm a tad bit immature and evil, but hey! It WOULD be funny...:devil:
Good luck on the next one, Meredith! :)
