So many times you know a person since a while and you never even turn back and look at them again. The thought does not even cross your mind that something can ever happen. And then one day, suddenly, you start thinking otherwise.
There are those instant attractions and then there are the ones you never ever saw coming. The instant ones are easy. You know since day one what you want.
But how do you deal with the sudden ones?
One day you are just thrown into a realization which says, “I feel like talking to him more,” and then you think, “I don’t really understand why,” and then you think some more. You have to reason it out in one day because you never thought in your wildest dreams you’ll think like that about the person.
Usually this is what happens to me. The instant attractions when are very alien to me. I am not saying I don’t get attracted to a hot guy in a bar, or the dj in a club. Obviously I do. But those are the ones I don’t care about materializing. Because very conveniently I do not know the person. So it is a very win win situation.
The one day instant, sudden, out of the blue realizations… sigh! They are mind consuming. You know the person well usually. Or sometimes he is a good friend. Or even worse, he is your best friend (that is the most sad situation ever), and you are left to thinking, “WTH am I doing?”
I was talking to one of my friends back home and he seemed to be suffering with the same sad situation…
ME: So hows it going?
Him: I have something to tell you
Me: ok.. go on (trying to prep myself alongside)
Him: I like ABC
ME: You mean like like, or love like
Him: ummm ummm ummmm,,,
1 minute pause
ME: Just say it
Him: Love like
ME: But you know her since 10 years and she has a bf and you never even liked her before
Him: I don’t know what happened. One day I just realized I do
ME: Dude .. you are screwed
Him: I don’t know
ME: I know. Good luck with that.
Him: So you think there is no chance
ME: I think you should get a grip and figure out what you really want.
And the rest of the conversation is censored. Basically this should explain my point.
