Which bring me to an interesting story about one of my friends over here, who at High School had an infatuation with this girl but was always too shy to even talk to her. Absolutely adored her, she had a kick-ass body but he thought she was out of his league. Fast forward a few years after college and working he is dating this other girl for quite some time but they decide to break up as things were not going well for them. A little while later his best friend confides with him that he wanted to go out with his Ex and he said no problem. His ex and his friend hit it off and later they decide to get married and he is the best man at their wedding. Then he goes away for a week on a training course for his job and one of the other people in the class is that hot girl from High School (by this stage about 10 years after HS). This time he does talk to her and sure enough she remembered him and they hit it off. They start dating and things are going ok. But then his best friend is killed in a car crash, his ex is all distraught naturally and they spend a lot of time together trying to cope with their loss. The hot girl starts to get jealous of his ex just because he is spending a lot of time with her, though nothing is "happening". Eventually he tells the hot girl to f-k herself and thats the end of her. After about a year, he and his ex start dating again and one thing leads to another and they get married. The best man at his wedding: his best friend's father.
