Well.. I am sure the topic has definitely brought a few 'oohs' and 'aahs' to some people's minds... If you are wondering why I am going into a tangent after my initial post on my brother, all I can say is that I wanted to try my hand at fiction!!!
So what is it that makes opposite sexes attract? For all you may know, you would have studied together in the same school, or have lived together in the same neighbourhood, or have been good family friends for a long time;and then suddenly the same person who was your friend for so long, is very attractive.You find yourself noticing him and want to being noticed by him.All your thoughts revolve around him.And then the best thing happens when you realise he has the same feelings for you..wow...you become officially labelled as girlfriend and boyfriend and life goes on.
Or you have this guy in class who is extremely attractive (only to you..).For the others he is just another normal person.There is something about him that you find intrigued about.He is of the same wavelength as you are and thus both of you end up being in the same group that hang out together.And then something works out; somehow he knows and you know that he knows.... you start being together for most of your time.You meet on weekends, do shopping aka you do the shopping while he waits patiently, watch movies, eat icecream, go for walks, have coffee, and yeah... talk over the phone for hours (gosh.. I almost missed that one out).
Or it might be just that you like someone at work...you do all the crazy stuff that you did in college... and more crazy stuff as well..(ahem.. ahem).
However the feeling of being in a relation and having a boyfriend is unique.Small things seem very important.Doing small things bring the greatest of pleasure.It might be just a walk-date, or just another coffee-date, but you look forward to it with so much enthusiasm and excitement.You speak nonsense and try getting words (yes...the magical words that mean total commitment) from each others mouths.Time seems to fly when you are together and before you realise you are late getting back home and have to cook up some story about late tuitions....Then there are the break ups and all the crying and trying to forget.You wonder why you got into all this.Things that seemed rosy then look ugly now.You swear to yourself that you have had enough with "them' all.You curse him and justify the things that you did.
Then you meet this really interesting guy, who is extremely cute and there it starts again.....
