In my case it was more than one. It was probably around a dozen.

Met the girl I had a crush on in high school, I asked her out once and shot me down in a rather painful way. Ran into her 6 years later at the mall today. She now works for some "escort business" in New York.

The good news is, she told me she was available for 4 grand. I may have to start a kickstarter for that.

Not the first time I had a strange encounter with a girl who turned me down.

I was too nervous in HS to ask out most of the girls I really liked, and settled for girls who I only sorta had a passing interest in. The one girl I REALLY liked in HS shot me down when I asked for a single dance at a HS homecoming. We're friends years later, she's married, still gorgeous, but I don't have any romantic feelings left. That said, if she was single and offered, I'd have her on her back with her legs hooked behind her head in seconds, regardless of how public the place was.

I had a plethora of crushes, I know see that many of them of failing out of college and holding on by a thread.
Dodgeds bullets if you ask me.

I mean this totally un-sarcastically - cool story, bro. Also, cool thread.

I don't remember any flaming wrecks in high school to speak of, certainly none that really stuck with me. I do have a story that is in the same vein, though. There was this one girl though that never missed an opportunity to belittle me, a prototypical mean girl. Why I would have let a blonde 15 year old girl make me feel bad is one of those mysteries that only makes sense if you're actually in high school, I guess; time has removed my ability to understand that perspective. Maybe it did't even make sense then. Nonetheless that's how it was.

So, a few years back, a friend of mine who I stay in touch with mentions that he saw her at an NA meeting. Apparently she got into meth in a big way and her hair was falling out, and she now had "summer teeth".

I thought that was a rather satisfactory end to this story; but about a month ago, Facebook suggester her as a friend for me. I did a google image search to see how time had treated her, minding what my friend had said. I was most satisfied to see the answer was "poorly", as the first 7 results for her were all (different) mugshots from Florida.

The one I regret the most was a girl who I fleetingly asked to the prom and she said yes. I had money troubles, as well as other problems, and I wound up not going at all. I sometimes think back and wonder what might have been had I made that happen. She was a really nice girl. I'm more or less happily married now so I suppose I should abandon those lines of thought.

There was another girl that I had a crush on. I loved her wavy hair and dark skin. I asked her on a date, I thought, hell she liked X-Box, I liked X-Box, who cares if she was one of the popular ones and I was one of "those things".

I was wrong.

She even said ewww before she told me no way.

I had a testicular cancer scare not long ago. I went to Pennsylvania to see a doctor, and of all the people to assist the doctor, it had to be her.

So shes a doctor's "assistant" AND a call girl? I'm intrigued.
Does she teach Zumba?

My first crush, gorgeous redhead, tank skin, tall, stacked. Gorgeous. Quite literally my dream girl. Never really got to know her, didn't say anything, but I ran into her a couple years ago when I moved back home and got out of the Corps. Got a date... and she turned out to be an airhead and a 2012 believer.

Shot that fantasy down hard I gotta say

no, this was another girl.

The first girl I posted was a call girl. The other was an assistant.

And I just realized something too. Every girl but one I ever asked out is a foreigner. My current and only girl friend is from England.

huh.

Hey, I believe the 2012 thing! Of course, I have a legitimate excuse: it falls on my evil step mother's birthday.

I never got shot down because I knew better than to try and ask her out.

I found out I had a fan club in HS of girls who wanted to sleep with me.

I never knew about it.

They never said anything to me then.

Damn.

I had the exact same thing never happen to me.

Married my high school sweetheart.

We dated shortly during my Junior year, then broke up.
Then we dates almost my entire Senior year, then broke up.
Always stayed friends, would go hang out during my college years, were both in serious relationships with other folks as well. Then one day got back together, proposed a few months later, were engaged for over a year, and had our 9 year celebration a few months back.

Take an exalt and may your tenth year be a happy one!

Meh, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I haven't met a skirt yet I wouldn't take a swing at.

I didn't have any high school crushes.
I was the archetypal chem nerd.

Uni is when I started paying attention to them and chasing skirt.

Never got shot down as such - we weren't in it for the long haul, just for the fun bits. No dumpage baggage here. Just mutual agreements to part and remain on good terms.

One girl I had feelings for back in highschool. Because I was something of a social anomaly she threw me in the friend zone less she take a hit on the totem pole of high school class. I eventually got around to breaking those walls down, but by the time I did that she had become something of a monster in more ways than one, and was long past being able to benefit from any help I could give her.

It's somewhat annoying, I go to sleep and occasionally think about the situation, then dream about how things are back to normal, then wake up utterly confused about which version to believe for a few seconds.

Such is life.

Oh, there was also this pretty smokin (if a bit immature) chick that had me in the sack and was all for initiation, but I gave her the cold shoulder because I was too busy focusing on the before mentioned girl. Funny story that.

I tried getting some pussy from this one good looking girl, we got along fine and all and got to know her real well (safe to say we were ok friends hanged out a bit too) but she wasn't comfortable with the idea of a physical relationship so it fell apart plus it didn't help that she had a boyfriend

who she had been with for 2 years at the time (not that I cared for that she had a bf I just wanted her vag).

Le females seem not to be interested in me at all for some reason. I mean, I'd like to think I'm reasonably attractive, and I'm smart (4.0 and a crap load of AP classes), but girls just don't show much interest in a nerd like me. I tried asking one girl out that I liked quite a lot, and I got the "lets be friends" treatment . I'm probably going to just give up in high school and focus on school stuff. Hopefully I'll have better luck in college a year from now.

In fact, the only time I have successfully, I dunno, "connected" with a girl was at space camp, but she lives in fething New Zealand. Oh well, we have interesting gmail discussions every now and then.

That one time, in space camp, I got my shuttle to dock with a space station....

I had high temperature sexual relations with every vagina in my school. I guess you could say I was the one that did most of the shooting.

I was always too nervous in highschool to ask a girl out so i've never been shot down per se. I'm not a nervous person by nature its just when it comes to that sort of interaction with girls i start to mumble and blather.

The one girl in my class i did have it in for actually ended up asking me out so i got lucky and managed to avoid all the potential devestation and subsequent ridicule.

I ate my foot, leg, other foot, leg and fist when I tried to ask the girl I had a crush on since 5th grade when I was in my sophomore year of HS. My locker was right next to hers and I was a "nobody" in my school while she was destined to be prom queen. She stared at her locker the whole time and I didn't even get past a stuttering, "Do you wanna," before I just turned around and gave up.

I did a foreign exchange program after that and met a girl in that country who became my first gf. When I came back, I found out that my crush was probably the strangest uber christian person ever. Her brother's name was Adolf. I gak you not.

...Adolf?

....that's.... a little.... odd.

She wasn't a blonde was she?

Adolf used to be a very popular name.

The girl that shot me down is now fat, on benefits, and has three kids all by different fathers.

I on the other hand am happily married, and in a well paying job.

The girl that shot me down is now homeless, insane, covered in boils and has Constantly-On-Fire syndrome, whilst I have become CEO of a multinational corporation and have a holiday mansion on the moon.

Seriously though, didn't really ask girls out in secondary school. Hit my stride there in university where I went on a being-shot-down spree, but I've not really go any interest in what they're up to now. I don't bear them any ill will, I had an odd tendency to ask out girls I didn't really like for some reason. They were right to turn me down!

Very happy now with my Canadian (ooo, exotic!) girlfriend of several years. Kinda fell arse-backwards into that one.

HS Nah There where only about 4-6 girls in my school and none where my kind. Besides i am nervous around girls.

But 1st year of college-In early winter. Lasted a week then she decided i was boreing. Hurt but not as much as 2nd year we lasted 3 months before her friends finally broke us up(i found that her friends had been trying to get her to dump me for the entireity of the time we had been together) One year after we first met, 9 months after we broke up and we are now back together

Never been shot down Because I've never asked. I wasn't a very popular kid in school and literally ALL of the girls were in one of two "cool groups". If I had been shot down It would of probably ended up in a display like the Hindenburg, not me breaking down us such, but we were really mean kids in High School even compared to the other years
