It was 2005...
I know that much.

I'd been acquaintances with a girl for years, we'd never got on that well, but I got on with her friends, and vice versa.

Then, over about 6 months of texting, phoning and emailing we developed rather deep feelings for each other. She lived in Southport, while I lived in Congleton, it wasn't easy. It was nothing official, but still felt like it.

I had a week booked off work, where I would be travelling up to see my old friends, and would be only a bus ride away from Southport, so I decided to make plans to see her. She sounded as excited as I was, and so we agreed on a date.

More than a little bit nervous, I got on the bus, and travelled to see a girl I hadn't seen in the flesh for over a year. When I got to her house, I was directed to the top floor, where I found her sat on her bed, gently dozing. I lay next to her, and kissed her gently on the cheek, waking her up. That was at 10am.

We didn't leave that bed until 8pm. We spent a few hours having the sort of fun you'd expect, but the rest of the time we just lay cuddled into one another, feeling the others skin pressed up against us.

I ended up staying the night, and we did the same.

When I left the next day, I promised I'd see her again in a month or so, as we began to make arrangements to go away for a weekend together. That was the last time I saw her.

About 2 weeks later, a girl I lived near (who I'd been chatting to for a while) admitted she fancied me, and asked if I liked her back. I admitted I did, and she proceeded to ask me out.

Blah blah, long story short, I called off everything with the girl from Southport. I have no regrets for choosing the congleton girl, I had two wonderful years with her. But I still feel like a bit of a tool when I think about how I let Southport girl down.

But I still look back on that day with happiness, and always will.


I'd apologise for length, but neither of them seemed to mind.

I'd like you to admit that sleeping with someone you had "deep feelings" for
then arranging to go away for the weekend with her then cancelling it all in a couple of weeks and going off with someone else makes you a dick.
Even if you have no regrets.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:04, Reply)

I agree
It does make me a complete and utter dick.

I have no regrets for the relationship, not for letting the other girl down, that is something I still feel guilty about.

Sorry, I'm not very good at this.

we've all done it.
Maybe she went off the idea after that day too. Maybe it was just a nice isolated thing.

You can tell you've not had any Spike influence for a while. Perhaps this need to be rectified tomorrow night

do you mean you are going to do something to his rectum?

More along the lines of

Hasn't little spike been paid any attention recently?

Brings back memories of bus-trips to Southport with my first proper love. I was seventeen. *wavy lines*

Or chewin a brick?

Chewing a brick!
Now that's a term I haven't heard in a long time!

Whereabouts are you from?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:07, Reply)

Liverpool
and I didn't think of the 'chewin a brick' part until I actually typed "Are you talking to me?"
It's made me giggle.

you could've said Ormskirk
I'd have been non-the-wiser but I'd have thought you were 'a bit posh like'. And inbred.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:11, Reply)

Haha
One thing always amused me about the Skem/Ormskirk divide.

Everyone from Ormskirk though that Skem was full of scum, and was dangerous (pretty true)

Everyone from Skem thought that Ormskirk was full of poncey tossers who were just as scummy (also pretty true)

Yet the only time I ever got jumped, was while walking down the poshest road in Ormskirk. Was funny watching the posh arseholes trying to explain that away.

Then again...
I also went to school in Crosby, with kids as far as Southport one way, and Aigburth the other.

Strangely, there was no class divide. Even in a private school.

Never quite got that...

Oh indeed
I've heard St. Mary's is a right rip-off.
I used to pass Merchants and sigh wistfully thinking "I bet there are boys in cricket whites in there right now".
Again. I was 17. I'm sensing a theme for today.

You'd always be able to see it over the fence, haha.
I was there between 1997-2000.

Might you have been trying to perve on me? Haha.

St Marys was always full of tossers, so I never really regarded it!

Isn't he the one who supposedly raped that girl in Barbados?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 13:01, Reply)

yes
but in 1997 none of that had happened and I had a crush on him. And I was too old for him. But he was legal so it's ok.

I once chewed some concrete
that fell out of a crack in my bedroom wall. I was 17 then as well. Must've been when it all went wrong. It was nice. I only nibbled at it. I love chalky crunchy things

for some reason
I imagined you to be australian
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:15, Reply)

maybe it's that classy, refined, aldylike air
I think the first Aussies were all scousers anyway. You know, convict ships and other stereotypes

EDIT:
I could edit it to say 'ladylike', as I'd intended. But I'm more like an Aldi than a lady anyway...

That was a brilliant drama about scousers going to oz.
