Ah %*&^ it.
I am finding the search for "the one" to be increasingly tiresome. Sooner or later, I'll be finding myself saying to a random girl in my class, "want to go out for a cup of coffee?" And no, I do not mean that kind of coffee. You sick, perverted souls.
I've become so used to rejection and no reciprocation in the realm of romance that I expect almost nothing from girls anymore. But is it their fault, or does the fault lie with me? Considering how I never seem to do any formal "Want to go out" question to any girl upon whom I become even slightly interested in, the fault may very well fall upon me. The question is, should I come on strong at the beginning by asking that question? Or should I do what I've always done - observe? Well... I've done the latter and it's given me no results. I think it's time I go for the more blunt approach. If I get rejected, hey, no loss. If my invitation is accepted then good for me.
I remember a very pleasant conversation with a friend of mine, Kat, in which she stated that she's given up on "real-life guys" because they never match up to the book heroes. I obviously thought "Hey, that's not true - there are exceptions!" (all the while, thinking of myself...ha!). When I proceeded to say just what I thought on the matter, she sincerely asked me what is better: falling in love or trying not to fall? I simply answered "I've been falling so long that not trying to fall looks like the exact same thing". It's very true for me, to be honest.
And the truth of that statement can be felt, I'm sure. Unless of course, you're so young that you are still being very optimistic about your life. Then maybe not, maybe in time you'll come to understand what it means.
To end this simple post, I shall say: ah *&^% it.
