Hey Pandas, What’s The Story Behind You And Your Current Love Interest?

I'd tell mine, but I'm in a hurry

She told me she wouldn't sleep with me if I was the last person on earth. I told her if I was the last person on earth she'd be dead, so I was ok with this.

It all began with rage. Hate, actually. As in, I-can't-stand-you-at-all. But somehow, it ended up going somewhere else.
As I started the school year, I noticed something. This guy was pretty cute. But did I like him? Nope. That was just an observation.
Enter the start of the Cross Country season. Both me and this guy are on the team and love it. But of course, that didn't mean I liked him. No sir. Anyway, after our first race, we all piled in the bus celebrating our success. The drive was going to be about two hours, all tuned to Hits 1 and it's repeated songs. My friends didn't think they were prepared for this first race, so I was all alone for the trip. I look across the aisle. It's him.
I probably shouldn't have striked up a conversation, but I did. And it was then I was dealt an unsettling blow- there's no reason not to like this guy. As we talked and shared M&Ms, I discovered he was funny, sweet, and maybe a little misguided. The person I was talking to was much different than the one I saw with his friends.
Well, the Cross Country season went on. I know longer saw this guy as an annoying kid. Instead, I saw him cheering on younger kids, having engaging conversations and doing it l with great personality. I found myself blushing around him. But I didn't like him... did I?
Cross Country ended, and was replaced with Nordic Skiing. We also both do this. I walked in on the first day of practice, saw him, and left feeling very differently. I didn't want to like him. But I did. Still do.
All I can say is, the heart works in mysterious ways, and sometimes you can discover maybe you don't really hate somebody. A frog could very well be a prince.
Alas, he is way out of my league and I am a shy turnip...

My mom worked at a home improvement store and his dad owns a construction business and they were acquainted from the check-out line.

They get to talking about their children. My mom's like, "I have a 28 year old daughter that loves to go to concerts". And his Dad went, "Oh yeah? I have a 26 year old son who is musician that recently moved here and doesn't really know anyone. Here is his number!".

I was a bit overwhelmed with being the one to have to break the ice. I didn't even know if he would receive it well or if he actually consented to his Dad giving out his number. I waited 2 weeks to text him. I did it with the mindset of 'nothing to lose'. He texted back extremely fast and say he was surprised I texted him and that he was thrilled. He didn't think I would of texted as it was a strange situation.

We met on Lunar New Year 2020 and the rest is history. We ended up having so much in common it was unbelievable! Even as rare as the fact we both have snakes that are the same age and named after skateboards. Both are also vegetarian so that's a huge plus as picking food together will be easier. He also ended up having all the qualities on my list for my dream guy.

We have dated for 2 years now and live together.

*He's embarrassed for how we met for some reason and would prefer if we met on tinder...? I don't agree as I don't personally find swiping right as a special meeting story. I think our meeting story is cute. Our parents literally set us up!*

We met on Twitter, through a fan group. We became acquaintances, and then started chatting more. He became a confidant while I was going through a hard time. I was there for him during his hard times. We became good friends, messaging everyday, throughout the day. He was dropping hints and flirting a lot after a few months. I did have a bit of a crush on him and I enjoyed talking with him. One thing led to another...We're still together almost 4 years later.

I wouldn't say love, but crush more like. I am developing feelings for a guy 4 years older than me and its kind of illegal for us to date- I'm still a minor. He's really nice and funny and can actually hold a conversation and he texts first. He was the one to talk to me first, actually. I was really concerned and confused because it is yk illegal, so I asked some people what I should do. They all said to stop talking to him, but he's a really nice guy and honestly I don't want to be in a relationship- I just wanna keep him around as a friend.

We met at a longsword fighting club (as you do) but I was with someone at the time. Years go by and I'm newly single again, back home with my mum and looking for a job, when suddenly he messages me out of the blue to ask if I'd like to help him on a painting job (he's a builder) to earn some extra cash. I of course said yes, not realising he'd fancied me for years by this point.

I get to this job and it's a bungalow owned by a little old couple. There are gnomes absolutely everywhere, not just in the garden but everywhere! Silly gnomes, kinky gnomes, tacky gnomes, you name it, they're there. The couple go watch TV in the other room while we get to work.

After two hours of catching up and flirting in between painting, we ended up having sex right there in the house, surrounded by gnomes! There was only ever one wall between us and the couple at any given time and I'd never done anything like that before in my entire life!

The funniest part was at the end of the day when it came time to pay me for the painting. He turned to me with the cash in hand and said very clearly that it was NOT FOR SEX!

6 years later, still going.

I went on a vacation to my og home state(Florida), and came back this cute older Asian boy at my church. We locked eyes and I decided I Hated him, and literally went out of my way to be impolite.

Fast forward to July, and my brother and his brother talking and then I start talking to them as well. I find out he plays violin, and annoy my parents into making him my violin teacher. Only to come back and panic because he's not at church and there a million bad things that could have happened (then was embarrassed when he came back from his own family trip)

Fast forward again, and they're leaving to another state, his mom asks me if I like him, I tell her yes in front of my mom. Then they leave and I both slightly make a tiny move on him (aka my hand politely on his waist for a photo), and cry watching them leave.

(He does have a photo of me as a baby with I love you on the back- in his wallet)

He needed a hug, and a glass of water. We're in a queerplatonic relationship meaning that since I'm asexual and he's AroAce we don't do the do, we just love each other. Literally friends with benefits

Ah. *rubs hands together in preparation* so. Another depressing story for all you peeps out there who have ALSO experienced romantic failure. SO. There’s this girl I met who shall be called “Love Interest” near the beginning of the school year. I met her through this other friend I made, who shall be called “Friend Person.” Friend Person and Love Interest had been inseparable friends since the days of their youth. Long story short, over time as I get to know Love Interest, I begins to develop feelings for her. She’s really really cute and funny, and I felt like we had a lot in common. Over time I develop a larger and larger crush on her. However, I notice that a friend of mine, a very nice person who I shall call “Dude Man” is developing feelings for her too. At first I think, “nah this will be fine. I won’t let it get between us, and if he gets lucky, I won’t get in his way.” Annnnnndd yep. Love Interest develops feelings for Dude Man and they start dating. Heartbreak. HOWEVER. I notice that they are not talking to each other in person, or hanging out outside of school. Only contact between them or conversations are the rare ones over text. I pretty much think (or hope) this is a result of their relationship not going well (no disrespect to Dude Man. As I said, he is a very nice person.) I eventually think they’re gonna break up, as I find out from Friend Person that their relationship ISN’T going well. So YAY, I might have a chance. The plan was to ride it out, play it by ear, and eventually ask Love Interest to next year’s prom (if they have broken up by then.) At this point, Dude Man and Love Interest are experiencing such a lack of communication we’ve practically almost forgotten they’re dating. But then, I made a heartbreaking discovery. I found out by picking it up myself and learning from Friend Person that Love Interest and I most likely don’t have a chance. Love Interest has a different way of going about romance than I do. Love Interest doesn’t really like the idea of depending on someone or being depended on, and definitely doesn’t like the idea of intimacy. This is why Love Interest and Dude Man rarely talk or hang out. I’m not that kind of guy. I mean, I wouldn’t really persay DEPEND on Love Interest, I’m not really codependent. However, intimacy and talking to each other and going on dates and kissing and general romance is what I would look for in a romantic relationship. Love Interest is not that kind of person. This discovery was heartbreaking for me. I figured this out two days ago actually. This really sucked and I’m still getting over it because I really really liked Love Interest. Still also trying to get over Love Interest herself.
Summary: Love Interest dates another person. While nearing what seems to be the end of Love Interest’s relationship with the other dude, I have the heartbreaking realization that we’re very different people and wouldn’t do very well in a relationship, and she’s probably not even interested in me anyways.
If possible, could you guys read the whole thing to give me some advice?
