Lessons in the chase.

Isn't it amazing how much time and energy we spend thinking of others? Wait. More specifically the opposite sex. The ongoing thoughts and daydreams become so blah. There was this one guy I was really attracted to once. Hmm, ok so there have been alot og guys that I've been attracted to once, and if his game is good twice. But something about him made him linger in my mind for a while. He was everything I loved. Intelligent, tall, sweet, focused. But ironically the "it" factor that really made the infatuation grow, was the fact that I knew I couldn't have him. He certainly wasn't gay, he just wasnt looking at the moment.I spent so much time at first, trying with everything to shake the thoughts off. But like clock work they popped in again. They even made me pause in conversation. A trance; one minute I'd hear "so last weekend we went shopping and I found the cutest..." and the next "he is so gorgeous, I wish there was some way I could tell him..." "Wonder if he even notices me." Yuck. I thought these kinds of things ended in grade school. Apparently not so.

But on a larger scale. We all do it. Just in more subtle ways. Dress a certain way. Flirt. Perfume. Cologne. And now the infamous "swag" factor. It's interesting to see how superficial we get to ignite something on a deeper level. But no matter how fly, fine or suave someone may be, it is an endless circle to even faintly chase what you know you can't have. Or worse someone who barely notices you at all. I've learned that if they can't see you as you are on an unexpecting level and appreciate the bare you, well honey who says the real goods should be given up so easily?

Proposition? Stick to who you are inside. The one who see's amd loves that is always worth waiting for. And beside's then the only chasing going on will be--well lets just keep this PG-13. ♥
