MR

I was going through my CDs a bit ago and came across a song that brought back memories of a high school crush I had on this girl Lisa. She worked at a convenience store/ice cream parlor...and she also went to my school. I was madly in crush with her...lol. At that time, 1985/86, I was into breakdance music, and R&B...so I decided, either because i was shy and couldn't step up to her, or because I was passive aggressive, to take some 'suggestive' songs, put them on a blank TDK 120 minute cassette and leave it on the ice cream counter with her name on the label....

Delusionally thinking that she was going to hear these songs and fall madly in love with me....never crossing my mind about how she would even know it was from me...needless to say nothing ever came of it...

I was such a geek....LMAO!!!!

What songs were they?!?! Perhaps they destroyed your chances!?!

I hope one of them was cinderella's don't know what you got

LOL - I remember making cassettes for other people. Also being a clueless teen, except I was on the other end; well into my 20s I found a box of memorabilia from when I was 14-16, including a couple of tapes various guys had given me. Had one of those "OH! They were interested in me!" revelation moments. Ran into one of those guys not too long ago and admitted that I'd had a crush on him but no idea that he'd liked me back. The look on his face was priceless - according to him the only way he could have been more obvious would have been to stick his tongue down my throat.

Ah, sweet, stupid teens - how I do not miss thee.

Awe! The guy I dated in high school did that for me with several tapes! And yes I fell for it

Haha! This reminded me of the cassette my husband got from his ex-girlfriend to describe how she felt when we got engaged...."you're in love" by Wilson Phillips. sweet song except for the fact it has the words "Sometimes it's hard to believe That you're never coming back to me I've had this dream that you'd always be by my side, oh I could have died" and "I tried to find you but you were so far away I was praying that fate would bring you back to me Someday, someday, someday... Ooh, you're in love" in it And the one day I happened to be at his house right when the mail came

Is it weird that noone ever made me a tape and
I never made a tape for anyone?!?

Lynn, I think it's weird that your hubby's ex sent that tape to him ...in the mail!!
And it's stranger yet that you just sang us the words to that song!!

actually I copy pasted them for the comic value i could never remember those words!! And it was 1990! She would have youtubed it if she was a teen today

This reminds me of the producer on the Howard Stern show. He made a tape years b/f for an ex-girlfriend trying to win her back. It was cringeworthy nerdy hysterical. I can't remember why he allowed them to play it. I think he was paid a lot of money. It was to die for, and he could never live it down after that. I can't imagine what that girl thought getting it, where he was pouring his heart out to her in a pathetic way.

It goes on and on more and more parts all to a girl who dumped him for another guy.

I remember making a tape for a girl but I can't recall all of the tracks.
This is all I can think of at the moment.

Where Is The Love - Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway
You're The Inspiration - Chicago
If Ever You're in My Arms Again - Peabo Bryson
I Need You - Maurice White
The Glory Of Love - Peter Cetera
Make It Real - The Jets
Always - Atlantic Starr
Careless Whisper - Wham

How could she resist those? I think someone made me a tape once but it was mostly jazz (George Benson, John Coltrane, Kenny G, yeah, alot of Kenny G in there...).

that's the sweetest thing ever....you are lovely

One of the songs on one of the tapes was
Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes"

I think some of the other songs were:

Always & Forever - Heatwave
After the Love is Gone - E, W, & F.(didn't fit the theme, but I liked the song)
Crazy for You - Madonna

better than stalker songs!! Like "every breath you take" or "hello"

I wrote a song for my ex once. Never made a CD to "send a message" though. Just whipped out my dick and stick it in 'em, seemed to work ok. Headin out to harass Hunsicker and Stephen at House of Blues now.

You know those nights where you're kinda tired or feeling off and the beer goes down slow? Well, other nights you feel great and it just flows. This is the latter type of night

My teenage love story was only relevant to me only while I was a teenager and just a few years beyond that time in my life. Funny because only a few weeks ago I was attending some business and I ran into my high school sweetheart, 26 years after the last time we had seen one another. She was shocked as fuck to see me and I actually didn't recognize her at all until she came up to me. She was standing there smiling at me from ten feet away and I was thinking "who the hell is this woman looking at me like she knows me or something". She eventually left but then a few minutes later came back and came up to me and explained to me who she was. Wow! No love for me anymore, I gaffed her off like she was someone elses bad gas.

Must've been a bad break up?!?!

I wrote and recorded a song once for a girl, only to find out she was married. Guess I should've asked that question first...

Yep, out of the two of us, I was the one in love who wanted a future and family with her and hurt when she treated me like a piece of shit....26 years ago. I've learned a lot since then and now I am with a woman who is genuine and really cares. And that's why I couldn't care less about the old high school girlfriend and all that goes with her.

Wow, I can't imagine blowing off an old friend because of shit that happened 26 years ago. I'd at least have made small talk for a few minutes. 'Snot healthy to carry that much baggage for so long.

Especially if it happened in high school... damn. Hardly anybody knows what they are looking for in a mate at that point in life. I was on both ends of the stick in high school. No way I'd ever hold that against any of them if I ran into them now between 6-8 years later.

Never occurred to me...she was a waitress at a karaoke club a bunch of us would often go to, and she never wore any rings...

Still, I was young(er), and was clearly smitten...

You know what's weird, I've never been on one of those ends of the stick. I've never been the one to break up with anyone. I don't have it in me to hurt someone that way... if I'm not into it, I don't get into the relationship. I mean, if I got in, and later it got bad enough, I'm sure I would, but that's never happened, they always do the dropping first, I guess. I'll fight for it before I'll be the one to say "enough". I almost did the dropping oncea couple years ago, actually, not because I wanted to, but I knew I was going to have to for my own good. But I decided to give it another shot anyway. Fail.

But if it was someone from that long ago that I ran into... like from high school age... no I wouldn't hold it against them. After that long, what's the point. Then again, it probably also depends on the level of hurt. I saw my ex-h a few months ago, had not seen him in almost 4 years - and it was still hard and I was still angry. So I guess it depends on the situation.

That happened to me once a long time ago... the guy didn't wear a ring and had never talked about it or mentioned it. And he liked me back, so I never suspected... then one day there were a bunch of people around talking, and I heard him say something and "my wife..." was in the sentence. Um... fail. So right away, here's this dude that was flirting and being obvious with me, then he says that. Clear sign of "NOT a good guy".

Yeah - that's clearly a case of "bad guy". Mine wasn't quite like that - she never acted interested (first clue, I suppose)

Still - I got a song and a story out of it...and a "life lesson"...
