Love Story

boy meets girl.
boy likes girl.
girl likes boy.
boy asks girl out.
boy and girl get married.
boy and girl live happily ever after.

SCRATCH THAT!

when does this actually happen?

here's the real story...

boy meets girl.
boy asks girl out.
girl says no, we're just friends.
boy falls in love with girl anyway.
girl winds up falling in love too.
boy leaves.
girl moves on.
boy returns.

NOTHING HAPPENS!

see real life sucks...its probably better off like this anyway.

now of course, many details have been left out, and we don't know how this story finishes, but...

even if people do wind up getting married its not cheeriness all the time, and thats what a lot of people expect and i think thats a big part of why so many couples are unhappy or wind up divorced. relationships are a lot of work and sometimes people just don't want to deal with it anymore. if you can make it through, good for you, i am happy for you. i just hope that one day i might be that lucky.
