Attention Getter

violetboregaurd by violetboregaurd · Jan 29, 2004 · 198 views · Journal

You ever wonder what it'd be like to step outside of yourself and to see what people see when you walk by? Or what their reactions are to you? It would be strange cause I think the perception you have would be flipped completely.

Upon a recent event, one of my close friends re-met a brother she'd hung out with before and he told her that he had a crush on her. He is totally on the shyer side and said he had been afraid to say anything when they first met cause he thought she was amazing. Awww... anyways, glitch is she is very good friends with his best friend, in fact he never said anything because he thought she liked him.
Inevitably my friend realized that this brother is definate boyfriend material - she liked the way he spoke and his demeanor, she told him she thought he had a sweet way about him.
GLITCH - he asked her to not mention anything to the mutual guy friend, his best friend and her good friend - why would this be? My poor friend too, she feels horrible keeping secrets from the one, but doesn't want to do anything to betray the trust of the other...

Leads me back to my original statements, my friend was upset because the sincere sweet brother with the crush hasn't called her in a week - she feels a little dumb, but part of her knows she is also being dramatic... and the other side, she doesn't want to lie to her friend...

This is my pondering for the day - it was too long for a musing so I typed a journal. Please advise.

time to get a meeting of three together. they all should talk. if the two guys like her: break out the dueling pistols. ten paces, as aways.

fivezero #1.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

something about guy likes girl, girl likes guy and they wont say anything to each other?

thatdarngirl #3.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

More along the lines of guy likes girl and girl likes guy. Guy's best friend might like girl. Girl is good friends with guy's best friend.

violetboregaurd #4.2.1.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

her crush should talk to his best friend and just make sure everything would be cool w/ him. why drag everyone into the conversation. it would be weird, esp if he DID have a crush on her.

i say... get everybody together, including everybody's parents, and have a nice little chat. clear the air.

haha.... that would be the worst most awkward thing ever.

but seriously, do it.

beachbum #5.1.1 beachbumOG 2002

get the elders involved too and blow the whole thing completely out of proportion. it will be fun

malibu #5.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

ilikebirds #5.1.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

fivezero #5.1.2.1 fivezeroOG 2003

violetboregaurd #5.1.3 violetboregaurdOG 2003
