Eh. I'd rather not say. I don't want to embarrass him. I'd rather embarrass myself

What's even more pathetic, I've never been on a date. Nor have I ever been kissed. And I'm 19. But it's mostly because I don't like getting too close to people. And I'm terribly shy.

I've never dated a guy. Accualy I'm about the only kid in the 8th grade who hasn't. Not overly bothered by that, but other people think its weird...

Of course, we all know EG has a crush on old clpo here...

Just kidding. I'm not that arrogant.

I think the thing I'm most embarassed about is how shy I tend to be when first dating someone. My first kiss wasn't until about a month into dating my first girlfriend, and that was in 10th grade. Before then I was morbidly afraid of physical contact with girls and would actually run away if asked to dance. I'm not especially proud of that time of my life...

really....whom if I may be so bold as to inquire?

I have an intense, unrelenting crush on another YNer. Yeah... I said it. I ain't ashamed. :P

well I was asking for me but the question still applies I guess...

After haveing to deal with high school kids for a living I'm shure they need it...

I tend to be the person people spill their issues to, which leaves me in a bit of a bind, who does the counselor go to counseling with?

I'm the same way. I never know my preist that well and fell weird telling him the worst stuff about me...

Mine would. I just don't trust people. Thats my problem I guess. There is only one person I have ever told my problems too and even then I never really tell her everything.

I guess...
I tell my sister. She gives good advice.

really? I always feel better after I've told them, besides it's not like their going to tell any one

and on occasion I go to the counselors but it's more when I;m dealing with other people's problems and want advice on how to do that or career stuff than actual problems I have

Amp, you actually go to the school counselors?

haha. It always makes me feel weird to tell someone all the crummy things you've done, especially a preist.

the scariest confession I've ever had was with Father Salmain an exchange priest from africa, he was a really nice guy but he had a really resonant voice and in that dark little box to a 10 year old it sounded like the voice of God himself...

but beyond that it's kinda like going to see a school counselor

I've done that. Then you get in trouble...

Does it ever happen to you that you'll blurt out what you're really thinking when you don't want to or when you intend to say something else...yeah, now that's embarrasing. I tend to do that....sometimes.

Just a little...

I've never been to a confession. It sounds terrifiying.

The last time I was at confession was spring of '05...(spring retreat, senior year...)

I SO much prefer retreat confession to normal confession. The way we did it, you just had to write everything down on a piece of paper (while being read this examination of conscious which made you feel like a terrible person because of how much stuff it touched on). Then you handed it to the priest (privately) and (depending on whether it was fall or spring retreat) you would say one item off of your list, or he would read it. Then he'd burn it and absolve you. This is a lot less terrifying than traditional confession, especially since I've known the priest at my church for years and I see him all the time; that's still very weird for me. Maybe I should just find a different church to go to for confession...
