Today, I wrote a poem for this guy I am falling for. Before telling him that I wrote it, he read it and then laughed at how "corny and stupid" it was because he would "never date someone who could come up with something that lame." The poem was about how vulnerable he makes me feel. FML

It's cool that you had the guts to gave him a poem you wrote yourself, but you really shouldn't write about how vulnerable someone makes you feel. And they're a little overdone, making them even more corny. Not everyone appreciates poetry though.

Yeah, #3, because literacy is SO antiquated. There are SO MANY guys who appreciate poetry. They're called educated.

#120...i really dont think she was digging for a compliment...i doubt she even wanted him to tell her how great the poem was. im pretty sure her main purpose was to get across the point that she had feelings for him...and was hoping he'd say he reciprocated those feelings. #121...lol

Some people may find that romantic - but I think it's really desperate and creepy. "Here's a poem I wrote about you. It's about how much I love you and how you make me feel vulnerable.." That's weird. What ever happened to "I really like you. Would you like to go on a date sometime" ??????

Listen to Oscar Wilde when he said, "All bad poetry is sincere." I guess love poems would work for certain ppl. Personally, as a literature buff, I despise the term "heartfelt". The way I see it, heartfeltness is only useful in conversations and ordinary methods of communication. When you are trying to be creative and literary, you subjugate yourself to the style the piece demands, not to whatever hormonal fancies you have in your head, and that always requires a bit of self-directed irony and the ability to laugh at oneself.

Out of experience, writing poems for guys and showing it to them is a complete waste of time unless you are/were in a very solid relationship with them. You need to be able to know you trust them before you open up such a personal part of yourself. I know it always seems like a good idea, but trust me it's not. I'm sorry that guy was being a jerk. :-/

One point for effort. People saying "You shouldn't write poems", that's up to her isn't it? I can picture the guy anyway, as one of those idiots that will never get anywhere. Tactless piece of shit. Not a keeper. Get another.

I hate to say it, but he probably knew you wrote it and was being rude on purpose to scare you off from confessing your feelings and having to have "that talk." I mean, as weird as it is to write someone a poem, it's even weirder to GIVE someone a random poem that you didn't write yourself, you know? I'm sure he knew you were the writer and was thinking, "oh shit." Sorry, but on the bright side, if I'm correct then it doesn't necessarily mean your poetry was lame. It means that he just freaked and wanted to avoid "the talk." Still sucky though.
