• Have You Had A Stereotypical Summer Romance?

  

  You know the stereotypical summer romance where the boy and the girl meet and they hit it off right away at either a summer camp or a vacation spot. They begin talking, kissing, making out, and before they leave they decide to have sex. Before they leave, they promise to write or email, and such; however, neither of them follows through. The guy most likely finds a new girl, and the girl, well she bitches to her friends how the asshole won't communicate with her, and how he used her for sex and yadda yadda. The girl has thinks that the boy should make the move and talk to her, so she doesn't even bother communicating.

  I never experienced this. I didn't really come close to a summer romance, but I did have a summer crush, which is the closest thing to a summer romance I came, or so I think. The story goes like this, and here's the dealio, the names have been changed, and so are the places.

  One day, on a family vacation, I'm picking out food to eat for a meal. This chef comes up to me and strikes up conversation. He speaks to me in Spanish (this was in Mexico), and I reply in Spanish (courtesy of my high school Spanish classes). Apparently, he understood me, so I continued talking, filling in with English words. He introduces me to his chef buddy, U. I start talking to U whenever I see him and all of a sudden he starts flirting with me. Note, I was 15 then, and well, I didn't have much boyfriend/flirting experience, and I act friendly. At first, I didn't have a crush on him, eventually, I did have a crush on him, and I always tried to find him, and when we saw each other we always talked. Yea, I did still talk to the chef who introduced us, but I didn't see him as much. I never seen those two chefs talk to any other girls but me, so at the time it puzzled me. It still kinda does. I don't know what either of them saw in me. But I admit it did make my vacation so much better. I didn't say an official good-bye to either of them, because good-byes are just too sad and depressing.

  Yes, I still think about U at times, hoping I will see him again. I sometimes even imagine the reunion. I didn't have a stereotypical summer romance, but I did come close to it in a way, at the time. For a 15 year old, it was as close as a summer romance. Yes, there are things that I would've changed. If an opportunity did come to me having sex with him, I definitely would've taken it, not for the experience, but just because I know I'll never see him again and I would want a better "souvenir" than I have. "Souvenir"= crush at the time.

  So yes this is my story. What about you readers, did you ever have a summer romance, a crush, anything?
