Mystery
I’ve always accepted the fact that men may not understand women. Some may get to know more of a certain individual, but generally, they still remain a mystery. How much mysterious is a matter of debate.
Here’s the tale. At a certain time last year, a fwen of mine told me of meeting an old classmate of hers who was, at that time, working in a different country. So, those normal questions came up, like ‘how long have they not met’, ‘what’s he doing there’, ‘does he come back often’, etc. Nothing unusual, but I did feel suspiscious. Won’t go into details of our conversation on this guy, but a few questions later, I’m convinced of my thoughts. He intends to court her. Reason? Usually, I repeat, USUALLY, that’s what guys do. She didn’t think so though. After some time, however, she said I may be right. Not much mentioned about him after that.
And the moral of this story is… there’s none. Based on something I’m told, I made assumptions. I still don’t know if I was right. MAY BE is rated a 50/50 situation. I find it interesting though.
The second tale is fiction. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Two friends, a boy and a girl, grew up together, being neighbours, and are studying in the same school and in the same class. They go to school and return together as well. So, one day in school, a classmate asked the girl if there’s anyone she likes. Before she was able to reply, the boy interjected that it’s impossible, his reason being that since he knows her so well, he’ll be the first to know if she likes someone. The girl became upset after that, and, as usual, calls the guy an idiot. ( This manga is still ongoing :p )
There are many stories with such elements in them, especially in anime and manga. I’ve watched and read so many of them that I just accept it as that, no more. It’s when I experience a similar situation that I begin to understand its significance. I can roughly understand how guys think, but with girls, it’s practically 0%. What’s worse is that I only realized it after reading the second tale, which I mentioned earlier, despite being exposed to such scenarios countless times. Guess I really am thick headed.
The point of all this is… there’s this girl… whom I really want to know more of… and the rest is history. I know her, but in a way, I don’t know much of how she thinks, despite knowing her for quite some time now. Part of her thoughts are quite clear, and I really fear to venture further. I can write, or type, a lot, but in conversations, I really can’t talk much.
So, the truth is, I’m scared… scared of what she’ll do if I tell her…
