Aah NO not you PLEASE !!!

There was this strange question a friend of mine raised. She asked me "Why I can’t fall in love?" as ostensibly I happened to pass a remark "Falling in LOVE is not for you". What made me say that? At that point of time I just stuck to my stand but I promised there will be a post on this and here it comes.

Ohh btw “The Activists” please hold your horses. The question sounded strange to me because this friend of mine has more important things on her mind, than romance of all things. So when this question was asked, I was amused more than anything else.

This may be an isolated case for some, but I guess there are enough examples in and around so as not to dismiss them off as a rarity. Consider this friend of mine A genuinely good guy who is quickly ascending the ladder at work. He is normal looking, and a real fun guy to be around. More importantly he still believes there are enough righteousness and good happening out there to let go of his principles.

He fell in love sometime back while funnily denying it all the time. He reveled in the closeness they shared. For him her opinions and beliefs mattered and He wanted to meet her to show her his real self and then let her decide if she would want to settle down with him. But unfortunately it didn’t work out for reasons best know to her. She couldn’t connect to him was her answer.

Looking back he feels it’s because when they started as friends, they were just two people who liked each other. Questions like what’s how good they look, how much money they make, their career progress, materialistic possessions etc just didn't matter. As time went on, their feelings for each other did not change, regardless of which path they took in life.

Appreciation flow was bidirectional and they encouraged and backed up each other pretty well. But the world fell apart when she met him for the first time. Suddenly his average looks, and not being able to relate to her occupied center stage.

So my friend understand this. We human beings are fickle minded. What sounds best at the present moment might turn out to be a pain later on. My friend lost out after probably matching the maximum combinations he could conjure, unfortunately he hadn’t accounted for his average looks and his inability to present himself any better.

Listen and listen clear now .. You are a fine gal with your limited wants, earthy nature and non fussy attitude. I have seen what happens when love fails and personally I don’t want you to ever face such a predicament in life.

I am under the belief that good begets good, and hence would prefer that the right person reaches you sifting through the chaff rather than you stand out like a pebble amongst a sack of rice. Besides It's my endeavor to spare you the experience.

I agree I am being selfish or perhaps paranoid but I would rather see you in the present state than in the mess that my friend is.

So now you understand why I said you DON’T QUALIFY ?

I will wait for your bouquets or brickbats when I happen to join office in the New Year. Well what am awesome start that would be for a new year :) ………………
