Many days have passed and the lead girl is still trying to figure who her true love is. She had at least decided to ditch one of them--the Foreigner. Her and her friend, Krysta, decided to see if this boy was boyfriend material by meeting him at the local mall. But around 2 o'clock, the lead girl and Krysta had almost finished their shopping and they were still looking for the Foreigner. They first thought that they were late until he walked up to them...sweaty.
Although they had both previously seen him on the beach, they did not remember him being so disgusting looking. He was overweight and had zits all over his face. And that wasn't the worst of it. He was being rude toward the lead girl's friend and had a negative attitude the whole time. By the end of the first hour hanging out with the Foreigner, the lead girl decided to completely ditch him at the mall. Why would he have such a crude behavior if he had high hopes of dating her? It didn't make any sense. And it was very unattractive.
So now that we have crossed out one of the three lead boys, our attention now focuses on the Romantic (who could never be more romantic) and the Laugh (who has made it a point to take her to dinner and movie). It would seem like the Romantic is the best candidate, but you never know when there will be a change of events.
Everyone knows the typical love story: Lead girl falls for lead boy (usually the one who has been there the entire time). What if the lead girl has three lead boys?
There is the Romantic, the Foreigner, and the Laugh.
The Romantic tells her about how much she means to him and remembers her favorite flowers, color, and type of food. He even looks like the typical romantic guy: brown corkscrew hair and full lips.
The Foreigner is from Detroit. He says "pop" instead of coke. And he was a Yankee accent. She loves this. And his personality.
The Laugh...well, he just makes her laugh all the time! He's a nerd, which is something that she finds attractive (don't ask). His dorky, down-to-earth attitude is something she loves because she can be dorky, too.
So here's the problem: the lead girl must choose one, but she likes each of them all the same. So who does she choose?
So far...no one.
Yet.
Stay tuned.
Lately, I've been feeling like I should start trying to do some self improvement before my senior year begins. I want to become more focused, more fit, more intelligent, and just be a better person in general. I want to help other people and them love me for it. I want to make decisions instead of constantly being indecisive.
Thing is: I have no idea how I become the better person I want to be. So I've turned to the Internet, looking up self improvement articles. I've gone from website to website, finding nothing in return. So today, I was about to continue this search when it dawned on me. Maybe I'm it's not that I'm visiting the wrong websites, maybe it's me looking in the wrong place. I, myself, need to discover the way to better myself, not Google.
What I've learned: Don't Google yourself.
With any relationship, there should be a set of rules that MUST be followed in order to maintain friends. If not followed then you will suffer some sort of consequence. Even though these rules are just plain common sense, they are broken all the time.
#1) Create a good 50:50 balance between time spent with friends and boyfriend. This also includes phone minutes.
- If you decide to spend 24/7 with your boyfriend, do not expect your friends to be there when your relationship eventually does crash and burn. Do not expect to have friends. You will be a lonely prude.
#2) Do not go out with your friend's ex-boyfriend.
- No matter how much they claim they do not mind you dating their ex, THEY DO. They really care deeply. And this will get in the way of your friendship. I know it may seem selfish of them but Johnny was theirs first and they don't want your arms around him.
#3) If your friends do not like Johnny, do not stay with Johnny.
- I know, I know, I know. Johnny was just MADE for you. But if your friends hate him, then what's the point? You won't be able to have a spicy conversation with Betty (your bestie) about your date last Wednesday if Betty cannot stand the site of him. And if you ignore your best friend, she won't be your best friend.
- Note: Her reason for hating your boyfriend MUST be a legit reason. If her reason is something like: "He looked at my puppy weird!", then she is obviously either jealous or on her period.
#4) Listen to your friends!
- If Betty comes to you and says "I saw Johnny kissing Judy at the candy store today!", INVESTIGATE! Find out if Johnny was at the candy store. But do not stalk. No boy likes a leash. And if Betty, Julie, Lois, and Lucy all claim to have seen Johnny exchanging slavia, then an action must take place. There are many versions of Johnny out there.
These rules have been tested and proven by my friends and I. Please do not ignore the rules. We did. And we paid the price.
