Love is a power thing, heck it is the most powerful emotion. Loving someone is hard to explain. In most cases, people say that it is the “you just know feeling”. There was a boy who believes in love, but for a while didn’t want anything to do with it.
This boy had the worst luck when it came to girls. He was shy to talk to them, afraid what they thought of him; heck there was a point when he did talk to a girl he never could keep a conversation going. Well as this boy grew older, his luck didn’t change that much, until his senior year of high school. The boy was talking to a beautiful girl that he knew for years but was just starting to get to know her. Well luckily for them they were going on a trip together because both the boy’s and girl’s sisters were part of a performing group. The performing group went up north for a couple days and had a blast. Well the guy and the girl started getting close and they eventually came to the conclusion that they liked each other. There was one problem though, the girl had a boyfriend. While on the trip the girl calls her boyfriend of the time and says they need to break up. Eventually they did and the boy and girl started dating. Well things were tough from the get go because the ex-boyfriend wanted to beat the shit out of the boy. Things went from bad to worse and at one point the girl started ignoring the boy for a couple weeks. Eventually the boy received a text from the girl saying the relationship needed to end. At this point the boy just went through his first relationship and received one key issue out of it; don’t rush things.
A few months go by and the boy started talking to another gorgeous girl. They have known each other from the sports they have competed in. They hung out a few times, and they started to date, so the boy thought anyways. There was a point they were talking here and there but communication wasn’t the same and she would always find an excuse for not hanging out. Eventually they talked one night and she said she was afraid to start dating again because of her recent relationship. So she decided that she needed to end it. The boy was upset, but learned a lesson from the relationship; communication is the key to a healthy relationship.
Summer vacation came and the boy was at a summer party one of his friends had annually and the boy ran into one of the girls at the party. They started playing different games at the party and started talking about each other’s lives. They talked and hung out with each other the rest of the night. After the party they continued talking to each other for weeks. Eventually they both knew they liked each other, but they weren’t sure if it was the right time. So they discussed it and they decided to just continue hanging out and see where things go. A few weeks go by and they finally decide to date. This would be the boy’s longest relationship but also the most heart breaking one. The two couples just pasted their six month anniversary and the boy was starting to see that something wasn’t right. They discussed different things and decided they needed to take a break. Eventually the break became a breakup. The boy was devastated. He didn’t understand what went wrong and made a vow that he would never try to love again.
A few years passed and this boy is now a young man living a successful life. He has learned to love again but he still deals with some issues. One issue is he has gone back to his high school ways and has become very shy when it comes to girls; especially ones he believes are very attractive. However when he does find the courage to talk to a girl he is afraid to commit even though he says he wants a committed relationship. His reasoning, he doesn’t want to be hurt.
Alright so if I haven’t bored you with this love affair, you might be saying this is another easy morale, learn not to be afraid. While that is true consider this; many relationships come and go and some people consider them failures but in reality a failing relationship is one that doesn’t even get the chance. You will get rejected plan and simple but remember this, it is better to strike out swinging, then striking out and not trying at all. I’m telling now go out and tell that special person how you truly feel, even if you are afraid. It may work and it may not, but you will never know until you actually attempt to swing.
