Today, I spilled my heart out to a guy by showing him one of my poetry journals. He read through it and said, "Wow, I feel sorry for the guy you wrote about." The poems were all about how I loved him. FML

I've never met a man that either a: liked sappy poetry or was b: able to read hidden meanings. Here's a hint........ just tell him outright! .... men, they may be pirates but they're crap at reading clues.

i know that takes guts, so i feel bad for you, but honestly YDI. Why the f would you EVER show your poetry to a guy? especially while trying to win him over? HE'S A GUY. (and no, i'm not male. i'm a female asserting this after many years of experience)

i'm sorry it went badly, that was ballsy of you, but why not just be upfront? guys don't want sappiness, or neediness.

As someone who recently self-published a book of poetry, I might say that to a girl if her poetry sucked.

moonlight_daze: You're awfully condescending for someone who "self-published".

I would say it, too. It's damned creepy to write an entire book about your crush.

Did you then tell her she could self-publish it regardless because it's not like that requires a lot of talent moonlight?

Poetry is my life and I am very confident in my talent. I, however, do not know people or publishers.

And BTW: I self-published a book over over a hundred poems I've written in the past few years... not a handful of shitty poems I wrote for some girl I'm sweet on.

I assume you then asked him what he meant by that. Instead of just assuming it was an insult to you. I think people way over-romanticize things, but then, I'm single and unromantic and probably a lot older than you, so I'd have done something different. He might like you, but he might think nobody can live up to your expectations.
