I was barman in 2007, and a new blonde girl started working there. After a couple of shifts I kissed her before she left and we arranged to do something the following weekend. That weekend came and she "forgot" and said she was hanging with friends at an arcade. We agreed to meet up in the week and there was another excuse that I've since forgotten.

I gave up on blonde girl, and a brunette started working there that weekend instead who was giving me far more attention. We made plans and she came (and later went on to be my girlfriend).

The next weekend blonde girl came back to work and found out about me and brunette girl and started crying. She told brunette girl that she really liked me and was upset about it.

For 12 years I felt guilty about that, thinking I should've waited a bit longer, as she was really sweet and innocent, but now I realize..

Blonde girl must have been seeing a Chad on those times she was "busy". After he blew her off she came back expecting me to be sat there waiting for her and when I wasn't she cried.

Too curious to let this go, I contacted an old friend that worked there who confirmed she had been seeing this (muscly security) guy from work the whole time. He'd binned her off for someone much hotter who also worked there and blonde girl quit the job not long after.
