All my romantic stupidities took place when I was a fumbly teenager--as they do for most of us, I guess.
To wit:
In junior high I was smitten with this one girl who was a year or 2 younger.
But she was the sister of my best buddy, so our "dating" was limited to just hanging around together all the time and MAYBE holding hands once in a while.
Here comes the weird part:
A few months later another girl appears out of literally nowhere and throws herself at me, mind, body and soul. And she was gorgeous.
I couldn't help but be flattered and went with it.
For that interval the first girl was left in the dust, but I could not keep her totally out of my mind.
So, something more substantial with the second girl was never seriously pursued--I went back to my bud's sister.
A year later that itself died a gradual death and at the same time, I found that another buddy of mine was availing himself of that second girl's ample attentions.
At the time, I thought okay, her attraction to me was never going to be a serious thing. Good to know early on that she was prone to flitting from guy to guy.
My buddy's sister eventually moved away and the second girl settled down and had a bunch of kids.
It's funny how some things can still be so vivid 40 or 45 years later.
Man, I was stupid. LOL
Enough ruminating... time for a cup of tea.

While Valentine's Day is a commercial monstrosity, I am saddened by chocolate boxes--heart-shaped or not--lacking cream-filled chocolates. You know, the ones everyone squeezes and then puts back in the box because it's not caramel or a truffle.
Well I love the cream-filled chocolates. I love the orange, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla creams, but they seem to have disappeared from stores over the past ten years or so. Are the chocolate cream assortments no longer made?
It saddens me.
Do you have See's Candy out where you are? They sell a large variety of cream filled chocolates, although they aren't cheap. The less expensive ones that used to be a staple at many drug stores and retail stores like Target and Walmart do seem to have been pushed out in favor of big corporate candy bars rebranding their same product into heart shaped boxes, albeit often being heart shaped. For example, heart shaped boxes of Reese's peanut butter cups, Dove chocolates etc.
My grandmother always used to get a big box of those cream-filled chocolates that came with a flavor guide that was virtually illegible, or seemed a few batches out of date, and no matter how hard I tried to find one I liked, I inevitably ended up with the maple pecan. Ugh.
