My sister had gone to a wedding a couple years back and a couple girls I graduated high school with (both popular and pretty), one being my crush in middle school, ended up being sat with my sister at a table. After talking, she found out they went to my school and asked if they knew me.
They then proceeded to say that I was always a quiet kid but that I was really nice, caring and that I was always friendly to everyone (even though I was picked on). So if that was the case, why didn't you get to know me instead of ignoring me...

Wow, this is really interesting, sounds like me. I was very quiet and aloof in high school, I didn't feel comfortable around the other kids at all, but I was nice to everyone and built up a very good reputation. What I have found is that reputation sticks and that all the momentary awkwardness is forgotten and forgiven. Especially if you do well for yourself out in the real world, a lot of people are gonna crawl out of the woodwork and act like they have a place in your new life, and at worst, it would be something like that - someone who decides that you're now really attractive. Too bad I live across the country now and if anyone from high school really did want me to stick around and be a long-term friend or more, they certainly missed their chance!
I'm doing better nowadays, sex and what people my age consider to be "love" is just not that important to me at all. My first relationship was an absolute disaster, it wasn't what I wanted at all so I ended it abruptly, but at least I learned a lot from it. The most important thing that I learned was that you can't just go for someone because they're good looking and they like you and want to be around you - that's desperation - you have to get to the bottom of them and make sure you are compatible. So now the question is more what I want. I don't mind being alone at all, so I would rather wait for someone who I think is really special and I am very compatible with, than just go for another "learning experience".
They are few and far between but they are out there, it's something to dream about...
