Young love
When I was about 14 I was dating a girl. After a while I got bored and split up with her. A couple of days later I met a new girl, Laura, who turned out to know my ex. We got chatting and things started to turn flirty. I had to leave before things turned serious but the next day at school my mate, who was also friends with her, told me she liked me. That night I got a phone call from Laura, oddly she was asking lots of questions about my ex, so me trying to impress her told her things were compleatly over between us and made this point very clear. The conversation started to die out at this point so I mentioned something from the other night, which Laura had no clue what I was talking about, insisting I wasn't with her the other night. It was at that point I remembered my ex's best friend was called Laura and I had compleatly slated my ex to her! Needless to say I never heard from her again! I did end up going out with the other Laura for a couple of weeks.


Another time I was getting on well with a girl in my school. I was talking to another friend online about school as he had left that year and he asked me about the girls. I said there was this nice girl I had been flirting with and it was looking like we were going to get together. I told him her name and he suddenly had to go off line, and when he came back on he didn't want to talk about girls in his life. I presumed he had just had a bad experiance and didn't want to tell me about it. I then went to a club wit said girl and the friend I was talking to turned up. He kept looking at me and her with evil eyes, and when I started kissing her he left. I found out the next day that they had been seeing each other for the past couple of months, only for her to finish it to get with me! In the end she broke up with me and started going out with him. After that he got arrested for sexually assalting 6 women around my area. This is a pointless part of the story but it shows how shit my love life really is!
