It is the Reveal Yourself​ thread afterall. And your stories are always incredible.
ok so yeah, this one time. At band camp...
ok scratch that
so ok bad luck with the ladies, well tbh the closest thing i had to luck with the ladies whilst abroad was the girl i posted a pic of whilst in my time in greece, or as someone here said 'shes the Greek Katie' eventhough she wasn't greek, so yeah she started making the moves trying to get friendly at first, unfortunately i made the fatal error of fancying her best mate instead, clearly i hadn't finished the book called 'The Game' which many of you guys may have heard of, in another words the male bible in how to pull girls. Yes and even in one of the pics i had posted there is a copy of that book in my left hand, whilst posing a pic with the 'Greek Katie'
so anyways straight to the story itself.
It was December 2007 and i was in Meribel - French alpes, having just started my 2nd season with the company i was working for out there - Mark Warner holidays, and with any seasonal job you begin to learn that all the girls and guys there are single, even if they have partners back home, making the new season a open playing field, unlike in Greece where i joined midway through. So anyways there were 2 cute brunettes i fancied, but i couldn't quite decide who i fancied more, so its a tradition in England to host a thing called 'secret santa' where by you spend a small ammount of money on a gift for the random person you picked out of a hat.
Out of this hat happened to be one of the girls i fancied, so it was fate right? unfortunately i had no money, i had lost my wallet in Zurich Airport a week before containing 160 euros and my debit card. So i improvised, i had told one of the girls in the same department as the girl i had to buy a gift for about my dilemma and that i fancied this girl and i asked her if she knew how to make roses out of paper napkins, so we spent one afternoon teaching me. In the end i made up 12 roses made of red paper napkins, i felt this wasn't enough, it was time to get out my creative side, and i thought if im to win her heart i have to do more, so i had written a 2 side of A4 poem, and signed my name at the bottom to make sure she knew it was from me (eventhough it is called secret santa and nobody is meant to know who bought your gift) i put the poem and the roses into a box, gift wrapped with a ribbon.
Came the evening of handing out the gifts, i had totally underestimated that the gifts were to be handed out during staff dinner and everyone would know what i had given as a gift, i felt embaressed, but at the same time anxious as to whether she would accept the present or not, i tried so hard to hide my face when she opened and read the poem, in the end she almost broke down in tears and thanked me. Unfortunately i had to work the evening shift, whilst everyone else went for a xmas night out, she finished up with some aussie guy who worked in the bar of the hotel, and the next morning i received messages from everyone else saying "im gutted for you".
The stupid thing was the girl didn't know i fancied her, despite the presents and had a 1 on 1 with me and said if i had known things would have been so different.
As for the other girl i fancied, well she ended up with some other guy who was totally wrong for her, and took her virginity.
so yeah thats bad luck and my story for today
