Love Sick

I have never been in a romantic relationship of any kind.  Not even close.  Don't get me wrong, I have had interests in people and people have been interested in me.  However, the people who I seem to attract I am not attracted to.  They are always a little odd.  A little awkward.  Or just down right unattractive to me.  There was one particular incident with a boy named Hayes.  Hayes was my friend and he was interested in my other friend, Bri.  Bri did not reciprocate those feelings.  After being asked out by Hayes, Bri fake cried and turned him down.  Not five minutes later, he texted her asking, "Hey, could you help me get Rachel?"  I have so many problems with this statement.  One; It shows a complete lack of actual romantic attachment to Bri, which could hint at him not having any romantic attachment to anyone.  Two; What? You just declared your love to Bri and now you immediately want her friend?  Three and most importantly; I am not a think to be "got."  Let's make that very clear.  So, for the next two years of awkward friendship and constant hinting at a closer relationship, after I shut him down many times, Hayes graduated.  Or, at least, he left high school.  I still see him from time to time because he works at Walmart.  And the utter indifference and slight annoyance he gets from seeing me give me such satisfaction.
