Ex Survey

1. What’s your ex’s name?

Kyle

2. When did you guys date?

We were friends for most of it. We dated for a month in 8th grade then dated in the first semester in 11th.

3. How long did you think you’d last?

I don't think after 8th grade that I really expected us to be together. There was feelings there but he didn't want to ruin our friendship. I ended up dating our friend Lincoln and he dated another friend from the group. Then we both ended up single around the same time so we started dating. The only thing I didn't know is that him and that friend were secretly dating because her parents didn't want them together and I was being used as a cover up.

4. If you would have had kids with him/her, what would have been their names?

I never really thought about this.

5. Do you still love him/her?

No. I don't think I even loved them then.

6. Would you get back with them?

No. Even when we were teenagers, he didn't really have any goals & ambitions. He ended up dropping out of high school completely. The fact is, I wanted someone who had that but I was settling because I felt lonely.

7. Was he/her your first love?

He was my first relationship, Lincoln was my first love.

8. What did your parents think of him/her?

My dad didn't like him. When they met at our high school orientation, he said hi to me and my family. My dad looked at him and walked the opposite direction. My mom liked him from what I remember until we started dating in 11th grade. At that point, my mom didn't want me to see him anymore because she knew he was taking advantage of me so we argued a LOT.

9. Did you get along with his/her friends?

A couple of them more than others. Hell, I dated Lincoln. He had some friends who I thought was annoying and vice-versa, but we were also kids. The only one I really didn't get along with was making SA jokes.

10. Did he/she get along with your friends?

My friends at the time were annoyed with him because he was distracting me.  I don't know if they necessarily disliked each other, but they were annoyed with him.

11. Why did you break up?

He cheated.

12. Was it a “Clean” Break up?

I ghosted him at first and didn't talk to him for 6 months. Once we talked, he denied it. I ghosted him again for another 6 months and he finally owned up to it.

13. Do you still talk to this person?

I haven't heard from him in 4 years.

14. If they were right in front of you what would you say to them?

I mean, it'd be pretty strange if he was inside my apartment. I think I'd probably scream.

15. Where did you meet?

1st period Journalism

16. What was the best part of your relationship?

I think when we dated in 8th grade. It was a very wholesome 8th grade relationship. Our friendship was weird because there was obviously feelings there so it felt like a situationship. Once we actually dated in high school,

17. Would you be able to wake up to that face every morning?

No. He wasn't that attractive and a part of me thinks if he actually showed 100 percent interest in me, the attraction would've faded. I only wanted him because he didn't want me.

18. Did your siblings like him/her?

I was an only child. Both of his sisters liked me. I adored his family, I thought they were all super nice and they made me feel included. I kinda wish I had that same relationship with Nick's brothers and his dad.  I always feel so awkward around them.

19. Would you rather him/her text you, or call you?

Back then, I preferred he called me. We used to spend 2-3 hours on the phone just talking about life.

20. Do you wish she/he called/texed you right now?

It wouldn't phase me either way honestly. It'd be interesting to catch up and see where he's at but I don't think he really ended up anywhere.

21. What are your latest thoughts of him/her?

Not really any.

22. What’s your favorite memory with that person?

The 8th grade valentine's dance.

23. Remembering all that, does it make you miss them?

Not really.

24. Now, Honestly, Do you still love him/her?

No.
