I was thinking earlier today and I realized one thing, that’s that no one on God’s green earth knows me as much as I’d like them to I was told once that my first impression is exactly who I am. I’m not sure if this guy was serious or not but it really made me think. Am I that shallow? That what you see on the outside is all that is in the inside? And this lad that said this knew me fairly well. So I came to the conclusion that no one really knows me. It’s not I wear a mask or anything it’s just that I’m phlegmatic that even if you get to know me, you still won’t know me because my one only true emotion is sorrow. Everything else has the same expression. I’m the hardest person to read because there is always something going on in this little mind of mine that is able to convince smart people that I’m very intelligent but just don’t try, and am able to convince dumb people that I’m in the same boat as them all just by being myself. But really I’m just an underachieved potential waiting to relax in a self motivated future. And what all that means is that I have potential but just don’t us it. With that previous sentence I probably convince you if your smart that I’m intelligent, and if your dumb all I proved to you is that I like to sound smart or rather, try to sound smart.
Now, there is one topic that I’d like to address about me that no man alive believes and no woman alive can relate. I’m 19 years old and to this very day have never had a crush on anyone. Let me explain myself, to me a crush is simply liking someone enough that I would want to go out with them, correct? Okay well I simply have not liked anyone enough to go out with them. I do, of coarse, have my favorites when it comes to girls but don’t like any of them enough to date one of them. You see I’m a “Bachelor for life” who wishes that everyday was his “Last Day Single” Meaning that I’m someone who has never and may never have a girlfriend but will always wish he had someone to love. You see I think that dating is for one purpose only which is to find that “special someone”. Now, let me explain the “Bachelor for life” phrase; I am simply 90% loved by girls but they know that they could never date me because I’m not their “type”, 9.9% hated by girls, and 0.1% crushed on by girls. Since I wish everyday was my “Last Day Single”, I decided to take one of the two people in the 0.1% and get close to them just simply because I wanted to be loved and cause everyone else was dating. I got close to this one girl, I got to know her *NOTE: before I continue I must admit I had no feelings for this girl and my only intentions were to satisfy myself with a temporary fling* I realized my intentions the whole time but pushed God and Jiminy Cricket away. I enjoyed all the attention that I got out of it, and was quite proud of myself that I was thrown into the soap opera crowd. We never started dating at all though. After about a month of getting to know this particular girl I felt shameful and couldn’t figure out what I was doing so I told her how I felt or rather how I didn’t have feelings for her. She gave a line similar to “It’s okay but we can still be really good friends” and she meant really good friends. So I agreed and by the next day we were still cuddling on her basement couch, I tried not to but she kept persisting that good friends do that sort of thing. She read it from a magazine. Well, it must be true than, if a girls teenage magazine says it’s alright then by all means. I was just to shy to disagree and to bold not to do it. (I am the biggest momma’s boy. That you will ever find I love my mom and love a good cuddle.) But my only problem was that she wanted more out of the relationship. Gradually I tried to pry myself away from her but as her best friend puts it she “Manipulated” me I tried my hardest to get away but the last thing that I wanted to happen was for her to get hurt. She was already attached in such a way that she tried to get in cahoots with my mom. But, thankfully I’m a momma’s boy and my mom already knew the story.
I always hated the sad endings, that might even have something to do with the fact I’ve never dated anyone. I’m just so afraid that I might have to break up with someone and hurt thier feelings that I’d just sooner not date. And this girl didn’t help that fear at all.
I tried almost everything, setting her up with someone else, staying out in the cold so I could get sick, and I even tried just straight forwardly telling her but I really hate confrontation. And so I did the only thing that I could, I did the most cowardly thing possible. One day in psychology class we were passing notes to each other and she asked me what was wrong and so I threw everything at her. Well, okay all I basically said was that I didn’t want to talk or be with her ever again if it meant that she would treat me the way she did. If you want the exact quote just ask her because she still has the note. But my hand was almost shaking when I gave her that note and well… All I wanted was out, and when I saw the look on her face go from complete sincerety to hatred/bitterness I was relieved…. Relieved that she didn’t like me so much that she’d break into tears. We went our seperate ways and didn’t talk since. I found out that about a week later at a “girls’s day” she had read everyone the letter and cried her eyes out I felt so bad but still glad that it was over. Never again will I put anyone through something like that. I do wish with all my heat though that this would be my “Last Day Single.”
