Ladies Share the Worst Ways Guys Have Dealt With Rejection

Whether you’re a guy or a girl, getting rejected is no fun. Reading about rejection? Now that’s a little more fun.

Lucky for us, these ladies shared their stories on AskReddit.

1. A sad story

“My sister was killed by her husband when she tried to leave him. He sat next to me in the ICU crying crocodile tears. The story he gave the police was that she shot herself. I have no faith in police. I know many are good people, but not there and not then.

Thankfully, he’s dead, too. The world is better off, I was scared it was only a matter of time until he killed someone else. I’ve got my own stories, but they pale in comparison.”

2. That old excuse

“The old You’re-Actually-A-Dumb-B***h-Who-I-Didn’t-Like-Anyway after he wrote a letter expressing his feelings about me. I politely told him that he showed a lot of courage but that I just wanted to be friends. Worst part – he was my work study partner. I was 19 years old. Looking back I should have contacted my boss who would have done something about the work partnership.”

3. Stay out of it, mom

“I finally managed to dump my emotionally abusive ex for the last time, and a couple weeks later he found out I was staying at my moms. One night he hid in the bushes in her garden and waited for her to go to bed so he could knock on my window and give me a bag full of presents.

6 months later his mom rang me and asked when I was going to put him out of his misery and get back together with him because he was becoming unbearably depressed. It’s literally been 6 months of absolutely no contact, why the hell are you all still waiting!”

4. Stalker

“He stalked me for a year and a half after I danced with him for one song in a club. Police asked him to stop, but he didn’t stop until I moved to a different country.”

5. Rager

“When I was a nanny, I was walking around with the baby in the pram and we visited a bookshop. A man in there started talking to me, and then asked me out. Very kindly, keeping my father’s advice in mind about being kind when I have to reject men when they ask me out, I said that that was a nice offer, but my boyfriend might not to be too keen on it.

His response to that was to lean in and try and kiss me. I told him to get the f**k off me, he then exploded with rage and started screaming in my face. I was saved by the bookstore employee, the man stormed out of the shop, I spent the next few hours shaking like a leaf.

What a champion.”

6. You’re not listening!

“It amazes me that two times when I rejected people, they simply refused to listen to me and kept trying to change my mind.

The first guy kept following me everywhere even after I said I wasn’t interested. One time I was having breakfast at a cafe and he walked in and sat down opposite me. I was speechless and scared and too young to make a scene. The stalking only lasted a few weeks, but it got so bad I couldn’t relax in public, I’d look behind me every few steps because he made me so paranoid.

The second guy was in my friend group at college, which in a way made it worse than the first one. I must have turned this guy down at least ten times but his persistence was ridiculous. It was like trying to swat down an immortal fly that bounced back up every time you killed it. He’d make whiny passive-aggressive comments about why we should date and ask for hugs and pretend to be close to me in front of other people, and I didn’t want to disrupt our friend group so I avoided him as much as I could and changed friend groups.”

7. Good plan

“He told me he had considered trying to get me pregnant so I would have to marry him.”

8. Melodramatic

“He sent me an email with a 3 page essay attached. It was written entirely in 3rd person recounting his first rejection by a girl named Tania at the age of 16. There were a lot of solitary beach walks, ‘she’s the perfect girl’ talk, him not talking no for answer and the story eventually ends with him drinking anti-freeze, slipping into a coma, hospitalized and eventually recuperating. Only to tell poor Tania that she could avoided his, and his parents pain by agreeing to date him. The email said “so you know what you are getting into.”

I was 19 and did not see this extreme level of crazy coming but knew I needed to really make how I felt clear. I immediately called him to reiterate that I do not want to be with him, I no longer want to be friends with him and if he contacted me again I would change my number. I let a friend of his know what was going on. 5 days later he called from a different number to tell me he was out in the country one with a gun to his head and if I didn’t agree to be with him then an there he was pulling the trigger. I lied and convinced him I had to leave because I had a family emergency (aunt sick in the hospital) but we would talk the next day. Had mutual friend call him and report back as is suspected he was full of crap. Sure enough I was right, he was totally fine.

He called the next day and with the most sing song creepy serial killer tone said “you think you’re so niiiiiice. What type of human being doesn’t agree to what someone needs when they tell you they’re going to kill themselves? You piece of trash.” I. Lost. The. Plot. Told him I’m changing my numbers, and the next time he contacts me it will be the police involved. He just laughed the whole time and told me he hopes I die alone, like I deserve.

Radio silence for 6 years until I’m getting married. I have an email from him “Hey! Wow it’s been a while! How are you? Would be so great to catch up sometime”

Psychotic. Obviously I never replied and changed my email, again!”

9. Breaking and entering

“He broke into my house and chased me into my bedroom, then spent ten minutes shouting through my locked bedroom door that I should come out and have a reasonable conversation with him, adult to adult.”

10. Blocked!

“I also once had a guy send me hundreds of text messages calling me all kinds of names, cursing me out and threatening me because I didn’t have sex with him after our entirely lackluster (first and last) date… I didn’t even bother reading beyond the first 50. Just let him go on and on until I blocked and mass-deleted. Still, it was nuts.”

11. Creeps

“I was 13 and I basically told this really old dude to screw off while he was stopped at a light shouting shit at me. Light went green. He speeds off, u-turns wildly, then comes speeding back and threatens to shoot me.

Then there was this other guy at a concert who didnt take no for answer. He pinned me against the wall and only scurried away because the police crashed the concert at nearly the same moment. The worst one about that was my friends just watching it happen, doing nothing.”

12. Whoa!

“I turned down a guy that was known for being the “popular guy” and i thought he was a bit of a idiot. When he tried to kiss me i turned my head the other way, said i wasn’t interested and walked off. He grabbed my hand, spat in my face and said I missed the best opportunity in my life and the only reason he tried to kiss me was because he pitied me.”

13. Sounds like a winner

“He called me “roofie bait” and then followed me around campus for a couple months.”

14. He was married

“This is a slightly different take but I turned a guy down for a date and he then posted a long snap story about how much he loves his WIFE that he had neglected to mention all that time.”

15. Ugh, another stalker

“We went on one date and I declined a second. A couple of days after that he called me and told me what I had been wearing that day. This went on for a couple of months. I’d literally never see him but at least a three times a week he’d know exactly what I wore.”

15 Employees Reveal Why Corporate Culture Made Them Leave Their Jobs

Corporate work environments can be their own little world. There’s a different language and attitude that just isn’t the right fit for some people.

These people shared their personal stories about when they decided to quit a job because the corporate culture became too much for them to deal with.

1. Okay….

“Lush, when we couldn’t say “bathroom” on the shop floor and instead had to ask a manager for “serenity.” “

2. Wall of crazy

“Had a “wall of crazy” where the CEO wanted to spend 20k on cool and edgy stuff for the office. Staff could make suggestions (Slides, beanbags, napping pods, etc)

Project was scrapped when the top suggestions ended up being:

Desks
Chairs
Working Heating
Working WiFi
Health Insurance”

3. Time to leave

“I’m in management and we just got the message that bonuses for the last financial year were severely cut across the business, probably going to receive 30% of our usual – at best. Then I attended our financial end of year results meeting the next day to be told that net profits were 18% up (nearly 1 billion total) and the best performance in years, all thanks to us.

So even though our profits were way up, the bonuses were cut? Employees who were not upper management would never have that information. Planning on leaving now.”

4. Then why are they there?

“Not my company but a company from a neighboring building. They had an entire area devoted to foosball, pinball, billiards, console gaming, and videoke booths on the ground floor and it was clearly visible because of the glass windows on street level. Oddly enough, nobody ever used them, and the place was almost always empty save for a few people who use the internet kiosks.

When I learned a friend worked there, I asked why nobody would want to take the opportunity to use the awesome-looking recreational facility, he told me that people who do use the facility often found it used against them during performance evaluations, even when their use wasn’t excessive at all. After a while word got around and they started avoiding the place altogether.

The irony is that their recruitment ads always touts a culture of “work hard play hard”.”

5. Like a criminal

“A co-worker was forced to work while her mother was dying in hospice. Mom dies, she quits, they escort her off the premises like a criminal.”

6. Cultish

“When I went to firm drinks in a public bar and the firm’s “fun committee” handed out song sheets and a choir of employees lead by a bad guitarist sang a song about how great the firm was to the tune of ‘Cause I’m Happy. We were expected to sing along. It was at that moment I realized I was in a cult.”

7. MONEY

“We (management team) spent months working with a business coach trying to collectively come up with meaningful core values. We devoted a ton of time to it and really tried to decide which direction we wanted to take the company culture. Everybody agreed on teamwork, reliability, a couple others that I can’t remember now, and then one day the owner came in and called a meeting.

He sat us down in the boardroom and told us he spent all weekend brainstorming and had decided on the core values. They were:

Meaningful Ownership Neighbourhood Engagement You

Does anybody see what that spells? He literally wanted it to be money and just came up with words that sort of worked the way you do in elementary school writing your name poem.

He rebranded the entire company from t shirts with giant first letters and smaller letters for the rest of the word straight down the arms, to plagues, wraps on the cars, everyfuckinthing.

And that’s when we all knew it was going to get bad.

Money is great, but it was mortifying walking/driving around with that plastered everywhere.”

8. That’s a little fishy

“They changed the title of the receptionist to “Director of First Impressions.””

9. Not an upgrade

“When I took a 40% pay cut (with no change in workload) by being moved to salary.”

10. Tears

“I worked for Apple back in their heyday and it was always constant and terrible. But one guy who was an assistant manager (or something like that) took time out during a store meeting to evangelize to us (his words) about how Apple was going to change each of our lives so drastically that we wouldn’t recognize ourselves any more. About five minutes in to his proselytizing, the tears began to flow and he openly sobbed about how Apple was the greatest thing on the planet.

He was ultimately let go for being late too many times and had to be escorted from the store out the back door because he was crying and refused to leave his “home.” “

11. The blame game

“We had a problem with the client and the boss dumped all of the blame on a 24 year old woman who was basically his most loyal employee. He made her cry in front of the client, as if that would somehow help save the relationship.”

12. Time to cheer!

“When I went to my first corporate managers rally, I thought this will be cool, free catered lunch and it counted as a work day. Then they started the rally with the company cheer. I’m like wtf, we’re adults, why are we cheering? Looked around and way too many people were into this cheer. I realized that job wasn’t going to be for me. EDIT: for all those asking I was working as a GM for Dominos pizza at the time. I believe they have a few videos on youtube of the cheer but I’m on mobile and can’t every get links to work.”

13. Priorities

“Not me, but my husband worked for two weeks for a “family owned and operated” business that touted how important “family” was and that they were all one happy “family.” My husband was on his way to drop our at the time 2 year old son off at daycare before work when son threw up all over himself. Husband called his employer to tell them what happened and that he needed to take son home and clean him up but he’d be in asap.

His manager told him he needed to get his priorities straight. He responded with “You know what? You’re right, I won’t be back in at all.” He was still working part time at his previous job where they had been sad that he was leaving, so he called them and told them to put him back on the schedule full-time. The “family” business is currently in the process of liquidating assets before going out of business and I cackle every time I drive past it.”

14. Just like family

“”We treat our employees like family!”

Ignores harassment claims, hires from outside the company, refuses to give out decent pay, will write you up for doing overtime, but the CEO just bought himself a new BMW.

I hate that place.”

15. Union busters

“When i was told that if i heard any talk about unionizing i was to report it immediately. <– G.E. “

You’ve Probably Never Heard of Tonsil Stones – Unless You Have Them

Tonsil stones are about as gross as they sound. If I had one, I probably wouldn’t fess up until at least the second or third month of dating (and I am someone who has zero filter).

Actually, tonsil stones aren’t stones at all, but small, hard accumulations of dead cells, mucus, and food particles that gather in the crevices behind your tonsils and harden into little pellets.

Photo Credit: Creative Commons

Worse still – you can actually pop them out like tiny little teeth. *shudder*

Small ones can be harmless, but if they grow larger, they can cause stinky breath, sore throats, and even ear pain. People who have larger tonsils or repeated trouble with tonsillitis are more susceptible to the little buggers, but anyone can get them.

That said, they’re common enough that you probably know someone who has them. So if you want to see for yourself, ask around!

Check out the Gross Science video below for more details (and pics, if you can handle them!).

These 7 Useful Gadgets Could Save Your Life One Day

“Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.”

While we hope that we’ll never find ourselves in any dire situations, it certainly doesn’t hurt to make sure you’re prepped with some of these handy gadgets.

#7. Shark repellant.

Photo Credit: Sharkbanz

They say that your chances of being attacked by a shark are extremely small, but I have to think that percentage goes up the more time you spend in the ocean. So, if you’re a diver or surfer or just someone who spends tons of time in the salty water, you might want to invest in this bracelet that emits ultrasound signals that will put off any nearby sharks looking for a snack.

#6. This venom extractor.

Photo Credit: Sawyer Products

Extra important if you or someone you love is allergic to bee or wasp stings, but it could also work for ant bites, small snake bites, etc.

#5. A LifeStraw.

Photo Credit: LifeStraw

Hey, you might think we live in a world where clean, available water is a given, but just ask the people in Flint, MI how true that turned out to be. This handy straw has a built-in filter that makes any water safe to drink.

#4. A pocket slingshot.

Perfect for those apocalyptic days when you need to bring down a rabbit for dinner or knock out a member of a rival gang in the new world order.

But seriously.

#3. A rescue beacon.

Photo Credit: Twitter

You should have one of these in your car and in your bag, because you really never know when you’re going to need to be found in the middle of nowhere. Make your mother happy. Try this one on for size!

#2. This smart float.

Photo Credit: USafe

If you throw this bad boy out to someone who has abandoned ship or fallen overboard, you can guide it to them – and back – by remote control. It’s also self-propelled in case they’re too weak to move.

#1. An external antennae.

Photo Credit: goTenna

If you’re someone who spends time in the woods or off the grid (or again, someone preparing for the inevitable breakdown of Western society), then this puppy could be the thing that saves your life. The goTenna works when there are no mobile networks to speak of but allows smart gadget users to stay online even without a link. You can send messages and GPS coordinates on a private network up to 50 miles.

These Deep, Dark Family Secrets from Twitter Need to Be Turned into Movies

Most people use Twitter to make jokes or keep up with the news, but when lovelyjessij asked Twitter users to share their deep, dark, family secrets, people really jumped on the thread.

Photo Credit: Twitter

And when I say jumped, I mean in an all-out, honest, really disturbing way.

I can’t wait until some movie or television producer finds this thread and starts making offers because, dang, I need more details than 140 characters (or however many we get now) can provide.

Since she knew most people would be more apt to share anonymously, she encouraged DMs (private messages), which is where the responses came from.

#12. While Grandpa was away…

#11. There has never been a more appropriate use of the vomit emoji.

#10. This was common back in the day, or so I understand. Still…

#8. When literally no one cares.

#7. It can be hard to learn where you come from.

Models Use These 7 Beauty Tricks to Stay Fresh No Matter What

Even though I’ve never wanted to be a model, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish I looked like a model. Well, with the help of these 7 tricks, it might be possible – but only if I (and you!) find the motivation to follow them!

#7. Throw a scarf over your head while changing clothes to keep your makeup from smudging.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Because the only thing worse than deodorant smears is foundation smears around the collar.

#6. Use your hand to support your chin.

Photo Credit: Instagram

This is helpful for diminishing the appearance of a double chin in photographs, but also for keeping good posture and checking that the skin around your chin and neck doesn’t sag. Give it a try the next time you’re just sitting around!

#5. Exfoliate.

Photo Credit: Instagram

Use a scrub on your legs both before and after you shave to keep them silky smooth and soft.

#4. Wash your face differently.

Photo Credit: YouTube

Soap-based products remove your makeup…along with the outer layer of your skin’s protective layer. For a gentler approach, use wipes or a hydrophilic oil you follow up with toner.

Fun fact: you can swap sparkling water for toner and save some serious $$!

#3. Check your underwear drawer.

Photo Credit: The Knot

Pick something nude that fits close to the skin, in a fabric that doesn’t cling to other fabrics – you’ll have the confidence to sport any outfit in a photo!

#2. Soft and shiny skin.

The trick? Use something with reflective particles, like glittery eyeshadow or a bit of highlighter. You can mix it in with your favorite moisturizer for a one-stop-shop!

#1. Perfect your lipstick.

A simple dab of vaseline on your lips will keep the color shiny – and right where you want it.

12 People Share How Their Best Friend Became Their Ex-Best Friend

While some friendships last a lifetime, the truth is that most of them fall apart in one way or another. Perhaps you moved too far away from each other, or maybe someone did something wrong. Whatever the reason, it’s never easy to lose a best friend.

These 12 people remember the exact moment it happened…

#12. We haven’t spoken since.

“We were both in the military when we were younger. I still to this day owe this guy a debt of gratitude. I was a pretty shy kid growing up but this guy, I’ll call him A, would always pump me up by quoting the movie Swingers and telling me: “You’re so money. You’re so money and you don’t even know it.” Maybe he was paraphrasing. We got into our squabbles as young guys in the military will do, but for the most part he was an absolute standup guy.

The years progressed and he visited me at my next duty assignment on the west coast; we were originally on the east coast. We didn’t see each other as much but when I deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan he’d always let me stay the night with him in his apartment, taking me out on the town and just being a really good dude.

The years continued to go by and he even came out to stand as one of the groomsmen in my wedding, giving me a great toast and telling me how proud he was of how much I’d changed since we first met.

But when I got stationed overseas back in 2011 we really lost contact. We talked off and on for the 3 years I was away but when I got back I heard from his sister what happened.

He got out of the military and took a job as a civilian contractor. He was doing well but had to take a lifestyle polygraph test in order to get a better job. He failed miserably. He lied about soliciting prostitutes and smoking weed after he got out of the military. The polygrapher knew was lying and then he admitted to it, thus screwing himself even more. Not only did he not get the clearance but he lost his existing clearance.

He left the east and moved down south, trying to finish his masters degree. But he couldn’t. Strike number two. He failed out of that program. He was still able to get a decent job working at an IT company but he got fired from that after it was found that he was behaving inappropriately with a few of his female co-workers. He was always a lothario but apparently had gone too far in this case.

This all ended up with him getting super depressed and threatening to kill himself, pointing a gun at his head while the cops stood him down. He was involuntarily committed to a mental institution and was just never really the same.

I was flabbergasted when I heard all of this and immediately tried to make contact. A kept avoiding my calls but I was finally able to get a hold of him. He just sounded so different and distant on the phone. I told him I was here for him and would do whatever he needed, but he told me in an ice cold voice something that still kind of haunts. “I’m not the same person that you used to know.”

And he was right.

I kept trying to engage with him over the next couple of months but he’d never pick up or answer my calls. Finally I was able to get a hold of him when he was able to get in work in Texas but he was gone by this point. But I told A how much he meant to me and still means to me, how he brought me out of my shell and was a big part of becoming the person I was today. He didn’t really care one way or the other and after that day (which was around 3-4 years ago now) we haven’t spoken since.”

#11. I never heard from either one again.

“I had 2 best friends through grade school, middle school and the start of high school, they didnt know each other, two unrelated friendships, but basically when i was doing something i was with one of them or one of them were at my house. My parents had pointed out a few times that I was always the one to call them (this was before mobile phones and texting), and why did they never contact me to play over (or hang out as we got older). It started gnawing at me and at one point I decided to see if these guys who called me their best friend cared enough to contact me.

So one day I stopped calling them to hang out. Weeks went by and then months. I never heard from either one again. I guess we weren’t that good friends or there would have been some contact.”

#10. What bothers me.

“I let him stay with me for a week while he was in between apartments. 3 days in, he loses his headphones but doesn’t tell me, and 2 days later he looks through my stuff and finds my pair of headphones of the same brand, takes them, and claims they’re his. I ask for them back and he says I can borrow them. The next day he marches into my room at 1AM and yells at me for 10 minutes about how I’m an asshole for stealing his headphones and I’m a terrible friend and I’m an idiot, etc. He leaves for 2 hours and then comes back like nothing happened. I give him the headphones (they were only like $30, I just bought another and didn’t care too much) and politely tell him that our friendship means more to me than headphones, so he can take them but can no longer stay with me due to his behavior, even though he only had a couple more days. Haven’t talked to him since, but several mutual friends are pissed at me because he told everyone I stole his headphones, yelled at him, and then kicked him out for no reason. Fun.”

#9. As long as she’s happy.

“We’d been best friends for 20 years+ years. Knew everything about each other. Our fears, our hopes, our dreams, our kinks. About the only thing we didn’t know is what the other looked like naked.

We were always there for each other. Every time she met a guy, dated him, and ended up dumping him or getting dumped i was there for her.

Then she hooked up with her current guy. He’s someone we’ve known since high school. They dated for about 6 months, then got married back in March.

She hasn’t spoken to me since. I’ve tried calling her a couple of times, but she won’t answer her phone. I’ve texted her a few times, no response.

I miss my best friend, but as long as she’s happy I won’t press the issue.”

#8. She didn’t believe me.

“She never believed I was sexually assaulted as there was no video proof of it happening, and she has continued being friends with my assaulter, even after the assaulter is now stalking me.”

#7. It’s none of my business.

“I knew my best friend since middle school. Went to the same college and graduate school. We both moved across the continent to Silicon Valley. We’d go out biking every weekend and sometimes even during the work week in the early morning or afternoon.

After his girlfriend cheated on him (baby included) he decided to stay with her. No problem for me: it’s not my woman… We’d still hang out once per week for a couple more years, though I never once saw her or the new kid. It was as if he was leading two completely separate lives.

We could finish each others sentences.

And then, 4 years ago, they got married and she decreed that he couldn’t see me anymore. She’s so insecure about her earlier cheating that she thinks everyone of his friend judges her for it. I’m truly indifferent about it. It’s none of my business. Whatever makes them happy.

A few times per year, we do a short lunch bike ride. She doesn’t know about those. (Those are his only rides on Strava that he marks as private so she can’t see them.)

But I’m essentially out of his life. He hasn’t been to the new house that we bought 3 years ago. I haven’t even seen his new kid yet. (He’s 2 now.) My request to visit them due to the new baby was rejected. (“Maybe later…”)

I still bike multiple times per week, often the same trails as the ones we did together. It still bothers me that this was taken away from me.

(When I’m in a really bitter mood, I wish she’d cheat again. I’d be a bad Nelson Mandela.)”

#6. Of course, word spread.

“We were best friends from preschool to 8th grade. One night while her parents were at a wedding, her older cousin was staying the night with. Her cousin was downstairs all night and my friend invited her friend (boy) who was two years older than us over. I was already a little uncomfortable because my friend lied to her cousin saying this boy was the same age as us. While we were upstairs in her room, we were listening to music and reading magazines. Out of no where my friend took her shirt off and was dancing around in her bra. This boy told her to dance in her underwear too so she did. He asked me to and I said no. My friend started making fun of me and calling me a prude. He then held me down and kept trying to yank my pants off, I kept kicking him, so my Friend started helping him. He got my pants half way down and he kept reaching in my underwear and under my bra. So I started yelling for him to stop and I kicked him hard in the face. He stopped and went home. when he left I got in a fist fight with my friend. Her cousin (who was asleep the whole time) never found out. I walked home and I was too embarrassed to tell my mom. The next day I felt like I needed to talk to Someone so when I went for a walk with another friend, I told her what happened. She told her mom, her mom called my mom, and we went to the police station (bc my other friend told the boy my mom called her mom and told her what happened, so his mom ran to the police station to press charges on us for making up lies about her son). Of course, word spread around school and I was completely embarrassed and depressed. My friend lied to everyone saying that I was the one who was taking my clothes off and trying to get him to have sex with me, and he didn’t want to so I made up lies about him. Ended our friendship and it made it hard for me to become close to any other friend again.”

#5. Drugs.

“Drugs. Promised we wouldn’t let that ever come between us. We did. But now we’re both trying to put it back together again. This time without drugs.”

#4. Money.

“Money. As we got older money borrowed didn’t get paid back and the person started treating me like a second income. Forgiving past debt didn’t do it, but cutting them off from using me as secondary income did.”

#3. No regrets.

“My best friend of almost 20 years told my 13 year-old child that she’d need plastic surgery, to diet, and an entire new wardrobe to fit in at her new school. He also tried to convince me that I wasn’t an addict, I had 2 months clean at the time and was fresh out of treatment. Multiple times offered me numerous substances trying to get me to break. He had agreed to let us move in to escape the unsafe home we were in but he went maniacally insane. The last straw was him making some off the cuff remarks to me about “not wanting to associate with anyone who didn’t fit his image of celebrity”.

I wrote a Dear John note, packed my shit and took my kid while he was at work. Blocked him on every conceivable social media and haven’t spoken to him since. No regrets.”

#2. He cut me off.

“He came up to me at lunch one day and asked me if I knew a girl. I said no and he said that he thought she was super hot but had no classes with her, no friends in common, nothing to talk to her but he found out that she goes to the church his mom goes to so he asked if I wanted to go to church so he could get at her. Go to church to pick up girls? My sixteen year old mind thought that was fucking genius. So Sunday rolls around he picks me up and we go.

He was a good looking guy, super athletic but socially awkward. I’m okay at best looking, pudgy, but pretty outgoing so pretty solid combo when it comes to spitting game, he brings them in I keep them entertained. So we spot her and we join the group get to talking and making friends and it was actually really cool so we went back the next week and the week after that. All of a sudden it’s been six months and we’re heavily invested in this church youth group. That girl turned out to have a boyfriend but we liked all the other people anyway.

I’m an atheist so I was just there to kick it with my boy and other people my age but he got super invested in the religion aspect. Decided he wanted to be a pastor and started cutting off all our friends besides me since they were in his mind the cause of sin in his life. He then would only ever talk to me about God not our actual shared interests so eventually I told him I wasn’t going to attend the youth group anymore. He got furious and cut me off too. I kept being friends with a few of the girls there but not him. The friends that he all cut out and I got even closer after Highschool and now he’s in the navy.

Tldr: Went to church for the pussy, he stayed for the religion. I left.”

#1. New friends.

“We went to college, and she found newer “cooler” friends and froze me out. Sucked since we had been friends since kindergarten and lived together in our first dorm freshman year.”
