Wow. I could have written that exact post a few years ago. Except the girl wasn't my girl friend, but she liked me.

I can tell you what happened to me. I did tell the girl. It went terribly wrong and led to many other people finding out. But, if it hadn't been for that occurrence, I wouldn't be who I am today. In the end, everything was fine. However, when all that happened, we were much younger than you are now.

I think we all here can say that we "feel ya". You're in good company here!
