Not prom, but I had a good female friend I had a very strong thing for who was going through some tough times and we casually discussed the “dating scene.” She ended up basically admitting her interest in me and in shock I walked away.

This was very nearly an r/tifu but some very quick emails and IM’s (pre Facebook days) and I explained how I felt.

16 years later she’s lying sick upstairs from something the kids brought home from school.

r/lifeprotip: if your kid(s) tells you several friends have been missing lately, prepare to take some days off…

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Tbh my mind tends to worry a lot. Even though we talk a lot I always worry she doesn't like me or is avoiding me when she just doesn't always respond right away. I mean she has already told me she doesn't find me annoying and enjoys chatting and even says things that sometimes continues a conversation but that doesn't always stop my worrying. Even though now probably isn't the best time to say something and try to start a relationship it helps to hear people's stories so thank you.
