Tyrell is a Junior at BYU studying Business management. He enjoys Motocross, Bowling, and being fly as a mother. I met Tyrell back when we were both working as Resident Assistants in Helaman Halls during our Sophomore year of school.
-
I called up Tyrell and asked if I could meet up with him and his wife to talk about break-up stories. They both agreed, but only if I could meet them in a bowling alley. After I found them, we sat in the middle of things and just chatted, with my recorder sitting on the table between the three of us. Both Andry and Ty were very easily distracted by the goings-on, particularly Ty, who was in the middle of a bowling game. Neither of them seemed to thrilled to participate in the interview, being much more interested in the surrounding bowling activity and my own personal love life.\rFirst Andry, and then Tyrell, shared their stories.

Some students in the Provo, Utah area decide to participate in Summer Sales to help pay for tuition and loans. Students may sell anything from pesticides to state-of-the-art security systems. Usually, this sort of gig takes the students away from the immediate area for the entire summer, and many relationships end or take a break during this period.

SO the last break-up that I had was right before I did, um, Summer sales, I dated a girl for a little bit, but I wasn't completely attracted to her as much as I wanted to be, really cool girl, um, to be honest, really cool girl, great family, but uh, I really couldn't get over the aspect that I really wasn't attracted to her, and for the longest time I felt like a, like a loser cuz I thought well it shouldn't be that important, you should just kinda\rget over that cuz she's really cool, and you should just give it a try. So I kept trying, kept trying, and I, for some reason, I just couldn't get over the fact that I wasn't as attracted to her as I wanted, as I would want to, and so right before I went out for the summer, um, we were talking, and I kinda shared her, some of my feelings, but I didn't say that, I'm not attracted to you, I just said that, it just doesn't feel quite right, um, that if I came back from Summer Sales, I would love to hang out with ya, if it, if it seemed right, but, to be honest, I'm not, I don't think it's right to be pushing our relationship forward in a way that would continue to be romantic in any way and she took it really well and she, she felt the same way, that something was a little off, but we're still really good friends, and when I, when I've seen her, we've had good conversations, but it's just been, it was a good, positive relationship, she's engaged now, so,\rI'm happy for her, it's good, but, it was good, uh, lead up to where we're at now, cuz uh, it helped me realize, like, that really was out there, the thing that I wanted, so much really was out there, rather than me feeling like I was a jerk and not accepting that, so.
