Relationships that've taught me a thing or two...or not

Sara Carter....my first childhood crush....my first grade school girlfriend....my first kiss....she dumped me a week later....First grade.

Paige Anderson....I asked her out over the phone....I was so nervous....later realized I asked her out to be popular in school....Fourth grade.

Erin Baldwin....I actually got a friend to ask her out for me....somehow that worked....realized it was a mistake two weeks later....Sixth grade.

Kristen Roberts....first time I rounded second base....amazing....Eighth grade.

Jessica Daphne....my first REAL girlfriend....she always told me she loved me and I never knew what to say....awkward....Tenth grade.

Laura Flowers....the love of my life....at the time....I learned a lot about relationships....what to do....what not to do....but it was the first time I ever felt TRUE LOVE for someone....best feeling I've ever had....Eleventh grade.

Audrey Beeler....she crushed my heart and then took a shit on it....I loved her....she didn't love me....I never thought rejection could hurt so much....College freshman.

Melissa something....first one-night stand....the next morning was interesting....I wasn't entirely sure how we got to that point....College sophomore.

Kelly McBride....incredibly beautiful woman....completely out of my league....I guess she thought I was funny....College junior.

Andrea Cyphers....most recent SERIOUS girlfriend....I learned that laughter and helping your partner whenever times get tough can go a long way in a relationship....but it takes work....Last year.

I've learned a lot about relationships throughout my years, lessons learned through good and bad experiences. I'll never fully understand women. As a male, I just don't believe I can. I'm thankful for every encounter I've had with a woman. It's helped shaped me into the man I am today...but I still have a lot to learn.
