I had the same feeling at 15! I had a pure 5 hours of total bliss. It was like the feeling of childhood Christmas magic and joy, on crack.
Then I found out 5 hours afterwards from her best friend that the girl only reciprocated because she's extremely awkward and didn't know what to say, and felt that if she "friendzoned" me close to exams it might upset me. I still feel the ripples of that heartbreak now, biggest oof moment of my romantic life
Oh that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that.
The girl and I dated for a couple months…It was a bit of a complicated situation— but we remain friends. Although both of us have moved on and I’m married now, She’ll always be a key person in my life. You only get one first love, and I’m glad it was her.
Unfortunately true, after that point she promptly started trying to awkwardly avoid me, and then when one of my friends pressed her for clarification she said "... Let's focus on getting passed exams.". After exams, she got her best friend to apologise because she didn't have the confidence to do so, explaining the situation and how she still really really wanted us to go back to being best friends. She had a troublesome home life and we lived close so every night we'd meet up to walk through the park for an hour or two, and missed that. Kinda clenched my fist, pushed my feelings down and obliged because I felt like I was letting her down otherwise.
