....there was a really great girl who met a really nice boy. They became great friends and he would call her, bring her out, make her laugh and make her feel really really special. It wasn’t long before she found herself falling for him. Their friendship remained and grew stronger and deeper and from time to time, the girl would question whether he was falling for her too.
One day, the boy called the girl and told her that he liked another girl — a sort-of popular girl. This broke the girl’s heart but she decided to stick around because she loved the friendship. He’d date then break up, date then break up — but he would always come back to her. She was the one who nursed his broken heart, cushioned the rejection and caught his fall. She was there through all his misgivings and mess ups and failures. He’d give her ice cream and books and nice smiles but never his heart. Or he’d give her his heart but never completely. He steered far away from commitment and real definite love. One day, when she was finally brave enough to do so, she asked the Big Question: “What are we?” And the boy shrugged his shoulders and said: “Well, I like you. There’s definitely something. But I just don’t see it going anywhere.”
Do you see where this is going?
