Wow, and look how you turned out to be. Haha. And that story of boy giving you a lollipop ring is just too cute. shelly: welcome to the Ducky club! I don't see why you shouldn't be picky because it's your own happiness that we are talking about. Unless of course, being picky and hence being alone is bringing you down. Then maybe, being less picky is good. But ah, you can't force the feeling as I've said. anon: thanks! Commercial? Extra money is always good but I don't think my writing would change seeing as how I'm most comfortable with the way things are now. Rob: twins?! Woo yeah. Haha I know what you mean about the "implicit". It's like they are probably thinking, "Don't force us to reject you and we'll get along just fine." explicist: you thought having a crush is a sin?

I had the biggest crush on these twins 2 years my senior through high school. they were really nice. they'd even take the time to talk. but at the end of the day there was an implicit understanding of not interested outta your league. still had some great dreams hahaha ... ah the imagination is a wonderful thing. i think everyone’s been a Ducky at some stage.

Does this make me a Ducky Jr. or somethin'? Or is it perhaps that I set my standards really high and I'm just too damn picky? I've always refused to settle. Maybe that's the problem.

(see how poisonous our elders psych our mind?) the only time i remembered was a boy sitting beside me gave me a lollipop (in a ring form) and asked me to be his wife. I threw the "ring" pop at him and out from his mouth came a string of vulgarities... >_ darn, looks like i missed out alot when i was younger… i don’t hv much crush on anyone in the 80s and i’ve always thought its a “sin”.

At least he didn't turn around and told you that he likes somebody else. Better to be an Andie than a Ducky. mf: all part of life, we all have to learn to handle the rejections. :) Jewelle: wow so you had a long crush on this guy.

I've never had a guy say he just saw me as a friend or more like a sister (think girls don't cop those comments so much). Closest I can relate is to is in my teenage years having MASSIVE crushes on older guys (I did taekwondo and there were many twentysomething guys there while I was a mere 15). Of course, being 15 I knew these 25 year old guys were completely out of my reach but it didn't stop me from lusting after them. One of these older guys that I had a huge crush on in year ten ended up getting engaged to someone else. Ouch. Unfortunately I have used the 'friends' line many times on guys. I know, I know, they were probably really hurt. But I think it's better than to lead them on, making them believe somethign was going to come out of it. I'd rather be honest from the start. I think quite a few of my male friends were actually after me from the start but ended up getting stuck in the 'friend zone' cause i wouldn't date them. I know, it's what guys complain about but if we don't like you in that way, we don't and it ain't happening! Being female I can probably relate more to Andy.
