Ah... as a high schooler, I was extremely brutal.It's not mean if you didn't like them back.
I was asked to prom my sophomore, junior, and senior years, and I said no two times saying that I had a piano recital/exam to go to, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it. Thinking retrospectively, it probably sounded like a really lame excuse -- and I think one year, it wasn't even a direct conflict (the piano recital was just in the same month as prom, and I wanted to "focus" on practicing piano).
I didn't really intend to be that mean, but apparently other people said it was extremely harsh...
The one time I said 'yes' was obligatory since they were my swim team co-captain, and it was the most reasonable choice that didn't mean anything.. Even then, I actually responded "Can you give me a few days to think about it?" And apparently people told me that I was really cruel because I didn't give a response for a whole week.... I think someone like my mom told me to say yes so I said yes.
I remember you saying that your school was very back-stabby...As for being attracted to people, there was one guy I liked. It was probably cos he was the only person who seemed genuinely nice towards me without feeling two-faced. We shared the same interests, had the same sense of humour, were in a lot of the same classes. Anyway, nothing happened with him, and he never dated anyone at school. Then we never kept in touch afterwards.
Then again, I purposely didn't keep in touch with everyone from that school except for the other person who was genuinely nice to me - though I since lost touch with her due to laziness on my part.
As for people being 'good enough', it's kind of hard to feel attracted to people when everyone is so fake and backstabby with crap attitudes.
'-'
The only good-looking ones were the 'popular' people, but I was never attracted.
I wonder in what ways your school was like that!
I don't think mine was particularly back-stabby, but then again I was extremely oblivious. Some of my friends were bullied though (I was part of the nerd/weirdo group), although I was never bullied. I actually feel really guilty about it because I said and did nothing while they were bullied.
