So there’s this girl (we’ll call her Nicole) and this guy (we’ll call him Garrett) and they both really liked eachother and so one night they were up late and they were alone, but they were very moral people so of course nothing bad happened, anyway so that night they revealed their feelings for eachother and they kissed and such and it was really romantic ....then about a week later....it happens again....but its more romantic this time....nothing bad just a little making out...now Garrett’s the kinda artsy guy who is kinda awkward but stil really cute and Nicole has a bit more experience but she really likes this guy so she’s actually a little nervous too. Anyway so these two instances happen and life kinda goes on....and Garrett doesn’t rally talk alot, but since such things happened you’d think he’d talk to nicole a but more then usual right? But he doesn’t....he occasionally says hi....the nod in the hallway ya know as aquainteces do. SO Nicole not really likeing the way things are going, gets kind of confused she doesn’t want to talk to Garrett about it because she doesn’t want him to think she’s some weirdo. So she kinda starts liking this other new guy, who is friends with Garrett ( not besties or anything) and so Nicole casually talks to Garrett about this guy ( we’ll call him Adam) and Garrett says that yeah Adam’s a cool guy. And THEN garrett adds in, “ i don’t want a steady girlfriend until i’m alot older, like 20†Nicole wants a boyfriend at this time so with that Nicole decides to go for Adam, and she succeds so Nicole and Adam and are bf/gf. Garrett doesn’t talk to nicole....like at all... and nicole kinda feels bad but seh has adam so it’s kinda ok. After a while (nicole still likes garrett quite a bit, even though she’s with adam) nicole and adam broke up, but they’re still great friends and all, and so nicole kinda wants to go after garrett again, not really wanted to be his gf but just to be his....kinda....so THEN Garrett gets a girlfriend.....that’s not Nicole..... let’s jsut say Nicole is PISSED!!!!!! Yeah so nicole talks to a friend of Garrett’s and he says that nicole broke garrett’s heart by going out with adam. So now nicole isn’t pissed, she’s freaking depressed..... after a while nicole really starts to HATE garrett, and while hating him she really felt bad about it but she really couldn’t think any good thoughts about garrett...at all and she really still wants to be friends but ....well yeah. Anyway so she kinda gets back together with adam, and things start to die down everything gets calm again ( btw this story takes place within a full year summer to summer) and then out of no where Garrett’s GF breaks up with him, now nicole still doesn’t talk to garrett...like at all..... but she hears about this and her first thought is FINALLY HE GETS WHAT HE DESERVES....but then seh thinks....that was mean breaking up is painful i should feel sorry for him....so she kinda does... and then the story is present so there’s no more news....haha so tell me what yoiu think, who do you side with and what are all your opinions, what should have happened, and so on and so forth! ^-^

I think that even though things are a bit awkard between you and Garret you should talk to him and i think seeing as you know what it feels to break up with someone u should know that garret isn't feeling to good right now and needs a bit of cheering up . I know your not that close anymore but you should defo talk

Im not one anyone's side, I guess it happened what it was supposed to happen. Probably bad timing for the relationships, thats all.
I guess it all developed from Garrets attitude (making out but no talking afterwards, thats weird for me), so there was no way that Nicole could know wha he was feeling

sounds like both people really needed to communicate with each other and the whole situation wouldn't have happened. from experience when a guy says 'i dont want a girlfriend' but then gets one, he was just waiting for something better to come around, even if he did have feelings for 'nicole'. and then when the new gf dumps him, he comes back to the girl he knows was a 'sure thing'. he's not worth it.
p.s. this is odd but i have a friend named nichole who has a little brother named garrett, so reading that was so weird! lol

Both sides are at fault. Both should just walk away and move on.

It sounds like Garrett and Nicole still like each other, but if they cant handle their feelings, maybe they should walk away and give up at it!

Well, I'm not taking sides, 'cause, at first, I really tought garret was a bit of a jerk,like "oh, I like you" and aftr that he went all "I don't want a relationship",but I also see some of nicole mistakes. But it doesn't really matter, 'cause, honestly I guess they both were a lot less mature by the time it all started - at least, garret was (for not been so experienced and all). But, instead of comenting what side I take, could make a little interpretation of garret's personality? Of courseI could be totally wrong, not knowing him and all,but look:
Some people - and garret sounds like one of them - are,above all things, so insecure that they seek love and aceptance and all that more desperately than anyone('cause we all do, right?). But all their fear of rejection and insecurities make them have some sort of thoughts like "I can't like someone, I'll get hurt"/"I should not start something if I know it will end badly" and all that, right? Problem is, eventhought these people actually think like this, they're also hoping - very strongly- that the person that they like will not react as they expect. For instance:
"I can't have a girlfriend"
he thinks you'll say: "all right", but he's hoping you'll say: "Oh, but I promiss I'll never ever hurt you! Let's be together!"
Do you get me? I say these things 'cause I think I'm a lot like that. It doesn't make him right, truth is, no one can pick things in the air like this - we can't just notice when they're trying to be saved, right?
But those feelings, I guess, are long gone. He might be a lot more mature now - once he had a real relationship and stuff - and I guess the only reason that really hurt him is that Adam was a friend, maybe. Or maybe he tought you "moved on too fast" - not nicole's fault, just something he might have tought and made him feel less special.
Anyway, by this time, it doesn't really matter who did what to who and why, but I don't think you should help him right now. You see, it's clear for me that you still have feelings for him, even if it's just anger, it's keeping you from moving on and - right now - he's problably feeling bad and weak and lonely and you been there would make everything more confusing and hurtful - for both of you.
Unless, of course,you really decide to fight for garret and try to be with him, giving up Adam and trying to deal with his personality and the fact that,right now, he's suffering over another girl, wich, by the way, could possibly mean that he won't want to have a girlfriend (nor a relationship) for a long while.
And it would start things all over. But, whatever you decide, just take the chance.
I guess I wrote a lot of crap and totally got some words wrong - but, sorry, anyway. Hope I could help. :~D

when Garrett said he wasn't going to have a GF it was a religious thing. a moral thing not a non commital thing. thank you Tathu that was really good advice!!!
