I would like to tell you all a story about Mike Merrill... I have always been socially retarded, and while NEVER asked out in high school, I did not fare any better into my 20's. This did not mean, I was sound, sober or chaste... just that you did NOT have to buy me dinner first. I was rather in my cups one evening at the dive just on the out skirts of Derry, I believe it was called the out post at the time, a guy I remembered from my class, but could not place his name started to talk to me. He was cute, personable, but I was drunk, as I was most of the time back then, so I barely made sense. He asked me out, on an ACTUAL DATE... I was nervous all week... this guy was cute, and I was scared... He certainly would not like me, when he met me all sober and subdued... so the night arrived... 7:00PM, 7:00 PM, as soon as 7:03 arrived and he was not there, I hatched my escape, ran out the door and down the hill to my best friend Sue Borowski's house. Sue was not home, but her mom was and i told her of being too nervous to go on my date and how I had high tailed it out of there. She responded as usual that I was an odd duck. It turns out as soon as I had run out th...Expand for more
e door, Mike called and told my mother he had just finished fixing a flat tire, and would be right to the house. My mother told him not to bother as i was not there, he was upset, saddened, disappointed appalled, but none of those states of mind brought us closer to a date. I saw him a couple of weeks later at the same dive, and needless to say he was not as friendly as he had been the first time. I was too ashamed to tell him of my nervous condition, or my escape into alcohol as the proven solution for nervousness so I did what I always did, I feigned disregard, and donned my false face of bravado which only stood to alienate him more. I regretted that for years. Mike was a sweet friendly person, and I could not get by my terror long enough to let him take me on a date. I tried several times over the years to make amends. I even wrote to him in Alaska, giving full disclosure of my by then recovery of alcoholism, my regr3et for being so nervous, so callous, and so insensitive to his feelings. I wish I could turn back the clock sometimes and undo some of the damage I caused especially to my self. I am 59 now instead of 25. Certainly dating Mike Merrill may have put me on a different path, and it probably would have been lots of fun, BUT I have to believe that I was meant to meet and marry David LeBlanc when I was 36... we do end up where we are supposed to be. I apologize Mike for the shitty way I treated you... I apologize for the shitty way I treated me. All I had back then was fear and alcoholism to guide me. Now I have a program of recovery and a life second to none. I hope you found love and happiness too. Thank you for asking me out!!!!!!.
