"Fess up!" Friday is my weekly confessional. I will confess at least one thing that I am ashamed of.
#1: I once turned a guy down when he asked me out, with the excuse: "don't you think I'm a bit out of your league?" In my defense, I thought that meant "you're too old for me".
It was my junior year of highschool, and I was taking a painting class at the local community college. I can't remember his name, now, but I became friends with him. Towards the end of the semester, he asked me out, and that's when I said it. I really thought it meant "I'm too young, you're too old, I'm only sixteen...", but he knew what it meant, and walked away, visibly hurt. He must have told our other class friends, because they all started ignoring me, and gave me dirty looks. Later, when I learned the actual meaning of the phrase, I felt terrible.
Here's hoping he stopped hitting on highschool aged girls, and has found a meaningful relationship with someone who understands basic expressions.
