Well, he shared secrets with his on-again, off-again friend Bennett and Bennett told the whole class that Gary loves Ellen and told someone right in front of her and Gary. Well, they blushed but didn't talk. The next day, our brave Gary asked Ellen if she liked him and she said no. The first of many "no's" he'll get. Anyways, I had a heart-to-heart with him and told him a few of my "no" stories. He seemed to relate on some level. I went through the "many fish in the sea" deal and that I kept fishing until I caught a winner.
When I finished I told him to go relax and watch some tv. He turned for the door and then turned around and gave me a big hug and then left.
