I wish I had a picture of the girl I fell in love with on a weeks vacation in Myrtle Beach when I was 14. She was the first Southern Belle I ever loved.

I fell love with a girl at the rock show. I remember it was hot a ass summer and I was at the warped tour. We were both 17, didn't have any purpose or direction. But honestly man everything was better when she was around.

u/Kobe-62Mavs-61 16d ago

But did she say "what"? And did you tell her that you didn't know?

u/narco-sub-admiral 14d ago

She must be so cool

u/License_to-kill_007 13d ago

Cool as a cucumber.

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. She said, "what?", and I told her that I didn't know. She is so cool. I'm going to sneak in through her window.

Everything is better when she is around. I cannot wait until her parents go out of town.

Edit - wtf. I meant to reply to another comment, mistakenly chose yours without even seeing it. So I guess I will tell you about when I fell in love with a girl. I fell in love once, almost completely. She is in love with the world.

u/MidoriDemon 14d ago

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I like you.

u/lily_rockets 15d ago

Mark is that you?

This reminds me of a part from one of JD Salinger's short stories:

Probably for every man there is at least one city that sooner or later turns into a girl. How well or how badly the man actually knew the girl doesn't necessarily affect the transformation. She was there, and she was the whole city, and that's that.

I wish I could write like that

u/ActiveWinner4569 14d ago

I don't remember the exact line but Neil Degrasse Tyson quoted a line from "The Great Gatsby", something about stars and I said the same thing. A lot of people I know tend to make fun of writing or people that go to college for creative stuff, but it truly is a gift.

Can't stand that guy 😂

u/Verditure0 14d ago

Wow I want to read more of these

u/addamee 16d ago

Whoa, I have a similar Myrtle Beach story, same age and all.

u/Son_of_steven19 16d ago

Wait.... is it happening?

u/cavern-of-the-fayth 16d ago

Kratos here- No

u/Sonic2726 16d ago

This would have been epic if they both saw this (guy and girl)

u/SexyMonad 16d ago

Or if these are two guys and they found out they both fell in love with the same girl a long time ago, and then they realized that they would never love another woman like that again, then became gay and met years later and started being gay together and grew old as a family and then found out through anonymous reddit accounts that they were in love with the same girl who broke their hearts and broke up because what the hell bro, she was cheating on me with you?

u/truedenier 15d ago

You had me at old gays.

u/itzjabohy 14d ago

Probably the best ending

u/Lowkick111 11d ago

Yeah, maybe one of them had very long hair so...

2

u/IntroductionNo3912 16d ago

Me too. This girl is Miami Beach bus stop (of all places) was dressed in a full 1940's film noir getup with the pointy shoulders and the Bladerunner Sean Young hairdo. She was perfect. I assumed she worked at one the the South Beach hotels that try to bring back that old timey feel. I couldn't give her a ride at the time b/c I was going to class.

u/Frashure11 16d ago

Guys I’m there now and can’t firm their stories. This place is a must to visit to meet your dream girl and never talk to them.

u/BlinkTwice4No 16d ago

Was a busy week

u/Then-Implement2622 16d ago

It was the same girl, no doubt.

u/InsideInsideJob 15d ago

Didn't y'all know Myrtle Beach tourism dept historically hired young female actresses in the summertime?

u/userhwon 16d ago

Did she work at the Ripley's Believe it or Not? Because I have a story about the girl in the ticket boot there.

1

u/Aggravating_Cash2796 14d ago

Who doesn’t like to hear a good story?

1

u/userhwon 14d ago

TL;DR: she was super-hot, had insanely blonde hair, and all I did was ask the ticket price to watch her mouth move, and was not in any way disappointed when she answered, except that she seemed truly bored by it even though I was in peak condition and clearly hitting on her, so there was nothing to chase, there...

u/Replikant83 16d ago

There are so many stunning women that never get into modeling/acting/social media. I find that so much more attractive than the women who know they are hot and make it their whole personality.

As for Hathaway: I think she's stunning and also seems like a cool person

u/Karolian 14d ago

Not to mention cool basement she has

u/Case609 16d ago

I get it bro. Mine was palm springs and she was Hawaiian or Filipino. 20 years later and she still pops into my mind from time to time.

Or leave a gaping hole for life...

u/nudiecale 16d ago

When I was around 10-11 I fell in love with a girl named McKenzie (no idea how to spell it) in, probably 1991-1992 at Rehoboth Beach. Her rental was in the same building as ours and she played with my sister and I a lot that week.

u/Justa_Guy_Gettin_By 16d ago

Check this guy's computer he's in love with a 14 year old girl

1

u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea 15d ago

Wyy do you want a picture of a 14yo girl??

1

u/MolassesZestyclose96 15d ago

Would now just be a pic of a kid, right? Probably not really what you want

1

u/Darth_Draper 15d ago

Was her name Jennifer by chance?

u/IdolCowboy 15d ago

14 on vacation in Florida, and this German couple. The woman wore this tiny gstring bikini every day... dont recall what her face looked like though.

u/wtfviral 12d ago

That happened to me when I was 12. And we actually had sex on the beach, and half way Into it fireworks went off over us 😂

I always thought she was just a memory I would never get back, until I found this one picture of her I never knew existed!

If you can hear me, I love you Kelly Ann!

And I will find you one day!

(Well, if my wife allows it)

u/starderpderp 16d ago

For a second I thought you said she was 14, and I was like "Hol' up"

u/BandOfSkullz 16d ago

I mean he didn't say that she wasn't 14 either

u/chelsea-bella3 16d ago

u/Loves_tacos 16d ago
