Ten Year Highschool Reunion


Question Posted Thursday September 22 2005, 3:32 pm

My Tenth year highschool reunion is coming up next year and I'm really nervous about it.

This is because me and a guy that I had a mad crush on left on really bad terms.

He was the most popular guy in school, class valedictorian and jock. I was one of the nerds. He new I had a crush on him and he treated me like dirt. He would make out with his girlfriend when I would walk by him in the hallways to upset me. He would play little games to humiliate me, like coming up to his friend whose locker was next to mine just to see me go red in the face.
He even went right up to my friend at the senior prom to hit on her while she was standing next to me and then he ignored me.

The last time I saw him was at the bar 8 years ago. I went up with my friend to talk to him and he completely ignored me even though I said it was my birthday.

Do you think I should go and confront him or just ignore him? This was a long time ago and I think that by now he would have matured a bit. I want to be the better person even though he made me senior year a living hell.

Buzzie

Even after 8 years he sounds like he still hasnt grown up. To act the same way he did when you were in school tells you of his maturity. He sounds like a guy who thinks hes still better than you. Well he needs to know that those "stuck up", im a "jock", and "valedictoria
of my class" days are longgg gone!!
By the way, you didnt mention if he had a significant other. Probably not huh?
I wouldnt waste my time on some1 who has never given me the time of day. Get a total makeover and walk in your class reunion with your head held up high!
If he decides to throw his big ego aside for the night, and talks to you, lend him an ear!!
Good Luck!!

Why don't you just be the bigger person and treat him like anyone else? People DO mature within ten years, you know. If he is still the same, ignore him. I'm assuming there are going to be other people that you know at this reunion...

try to make him jealous. but dont lie to him. strike up a confersation and ask him what kind of a job he has and things related to that. maybe he has matured since those 8 years ago. and if he didnt i would make it a point to tell him when he is leaving or you are leaving to tell him what a jackass he was. that way you can leave it at that and get him back at the same time.

~hope i helped

What a jackass. You have to remember that people are the cruelest in high school, they seem to grow up a bit more afterwards. Lame what he did to you in the bar though.

Personally had it been me. I'd try to look as hot as possible and get myself a really hot date. I'd make him wish he'd never tortured me in high school. So when he comes up and says hi, you could either ignore him or be like "Oh, who are you?"

I, for the sake of humanity, would hope he has become more mature over the 8 years you haven't seen/spoken to him. If he hasn't, someone should hit him with a shovle.

In my opinion, you should talk to him and act as though nothing happened. You're right, be the better person even though he made your highschool year(s) a living hell.

If he mentions it, about torturing you, hurting your feelings, etc., and apologizes about doing so, I could only hope you'd accept his apology. After all, it's been 8 years.

At this point, all you really CAN do is to forgive and/or forget.

I'd definately go with ignoring him- not in an "I hate you don't talk to me" way, but just talk to other people, enjoy your reunion, and just casually leave him out of your thoughts. Even if you want a friendship with him, he treated you horribly for no reason& humiliated you. Don't confront him about it- why hold a grudge over something like that for so long? He's not worth your time to worry about, so don't bother. Just be casual about the whole thing, if you ignore him, he'll see you and realize that you moved on& that you're completely over him and his immaturity. Maybe then he will realize how much of a jerk he was, and even though he humiliated you, you didn't let it bother you this whole time. He WANTS you to dwell on it& never forget about it..but if you don't worry about it then he'll figure out that he doesn't have the power he really wanted in the first place. Do you get what I'm saying? I hope I helped you!

Guys can be assholes sometimes. Ignore him, bring a hott date, say hello to him and walk on by him. Dont let him ruin your class reunion, your not the same as you were 10 years ago. You've probably matured more as well. Good Luck!!!

ok ya a good moral is to be above the person...btu come on he treated you horribly...to the point where you should get him back! I think you should go get a kick'ass makeover.. I mean make yourself look GOOOOOOD! Show up confident...when he is talkin to a friend walk right up to the friend and say Hey, id I run into you a couple weeks ago..and jsut get into a huge conversation...and totaly ignore the other guy! If the friend trys to introduce you..say "Oh we've met, he's going out with my brother." And just walk away....slickly! You dont have to do this but I'm telling you it would work!
good luck...teach him a lesson lol!

The big freeze. Ignore and ignore because, sorry, it sounds like this is what he'll be doing to you and you're likely to feel pretty humiliated if you go to confront him and he treats you like he doesn't even remember you. If he comes up to you, let him do the talking and the conversational legwork before you decide whether he's worthy of your time now (a good start might be "oh hi...um.....adam?..no wait...?" lol)- you owe him nothing and need to offer him very little.

It sucks when someone you try to talk to shows complete disinterest but hey, it was 8 years ago so for god's sake don't let on you even remember. Don't act upset, angry or look as though you're seeking him out. in fact try to forget he's even there. Then leave with your dignity in tact.

Best of luck

I'd ignore the jerk. Don't even attempt to talk to him.

Concentrate on visiting with those who made your school years good instead of him. Have a good time. :)

I think you should become friends with vampires, and if that jackass is mean to you, have the vampire drain the man of his life and go on with yours.
