I'm worried that J is writing me a song

[Bernadine]

He mentioned a project he was working on for me. Then he said something to his roommate about helping him. His roommate plays the guitar and sings. Writing me a song is exactly the kind of mushy thing J would do.

I'm not good at verbal displays of emotion. Good or bad emotions. It's going to be so awkward. I'm 90% sure I'll start laughing and hurt his feelings.

OMG.

[fuckyourcouch]

oh man. i totally get it. i mean it's really sweet but i am the same way, ugh :/

[sake]

OMG, i would not handle this well at all.... I also don't do well at displaying emotion when put on the spot.
I hope for your sake he is asking for some other type of help from his roommate.

How sweet!

Put a tack in your shoe, bite your lip, whatever but don't laugh, he'll never do it again if you do!

A guy wrote a song for me in high school. I am the same as you, not good at verbal displays of emotion. I think I almost died when he sang it for me. We were not in a relationship though, so that greatly increased the awkwardness level.

This same guy also dedicated a star to me as a Christmas present. It was weird.

Aw, holy shit, this is so sweet.

He is incredibly sweet. I seriously can't get over what a kind, thoughtful person he is.

This is very sweet, but I totally get how you feel.

[dcannie]

ew, this is so awkward.

My husband has been "writing me a song" for six years and counting. He's got one verse, which he sings over and over again until it drives me from the room. Maybe J will be so overcome with love he can't put it into words?

[emsumm]

That would be such a nightmare for me. So awkward.

[franciepants]

Yeah, I had a guy (who I wasn't interested in) write a song about me awhile back. He even put it on his "debut" CD. I still cringe and feel icky about it. He gave me an autographed copy of the CD with my name spelled wrong.

[Deleted]

wait, tamb, your H wrote you a song before you were dating?

must have been love at first sight, eh?

[Deleted]

this is sweet. because i don't even like cards with sentimental poems in them, i totally get you. like, you'd rather melt into a puddle on the floor than try to look at him/near him/into his eyes while he sings to you earnestly and you might pass out?

yeah.

[Deleted]

Haha. Aww.

My h wrote me a song and sang it while playing the guitar when he proposed. I thought he was just goofing around as usual, so I wasn't even paying much attention, then he finished and pulled out a ring. I had to pretend that I was actually paying attention to the song, so when people asked how he proposed I was all " and he wrote me a beautiful song", but the truth is I had no idea what any of the words were. For all I know he could have been singing about my bathroom habits or farting or something.

[sneetch]

That is sweet, but I understand why you'd feel uncomfortable with it.

H sang to me at our wedding reception. I hate being the center of attention but I still look back at it with fond-ish memories because it was out of character for him too.

My H (then BF) wrote a (longass) poem for me once and I had to sit through him reading it to me. It was one of the most awkward moments of my life.

Anyone else thinking about the scene from Freaks and Geeks? LOL

First thing that popped into my head! :Y:

[poppyseed]

Oh, yikes. It's really sweet, but I'm very awkward about things like this.

I would love for someone I love to write me a song. (not someone who just loved me and I didn't feel the same - haha).

I remember one day in college when I walked into my bf's dorm room and he had taught all his neighbors a collaboration of "Where is my mind" by the pixies. He had a guitar, but they were all playing other hand made things, and someone one was doing the "Ahhhh-ahhh-ahh-ah"

As soon as I stepped through the door, he said "stop" - and they started it.

It was freaking adorable.
