Love Challenge: Day 01- Are you in a relationship right now? If not why do you think you’re single?
I am currently single. But, of course, I’ve always been single. I’ve only been “asked out” twice, once in elementary school and once in seventh grade. I really don’t count either of them. Being single; I honestly don’t know how to describe it to you. You can be content hangout with your friends, and then you turn the corner and BAM happy couples everywhere. All of a sudden you feel lonely and nothing can get you out of that funk. Well, nothing except the attention of a guy. Which is rather hard to come by nowadays. It seems that Prince Charming doesn’t exist anymore, and if he does then he was not trained very well in the arts of sweeping young maidens off their feet and rescuing damsels in distress. But maybe it’s just me. Maybe there’s a certain type of maiden that the charming young princes fall for. And maybe I’m not it.
What do those damsels in distress have that I don’t? Well, everything. I’m clearly not the smartest maiden, I’m obviously not the prettiest maiden, and I’m not the most confident maiden. Honestly, I don’t have a clue what any guy could ever see in me. I talk a little too much, I laugh a little too loud, I’m a little too shy, and I’m too opinionated on the ways of the world. I sometimes come off mean when I’m trying to be sweet. I’m not very good at flirting, and when I do get to the stage where I start to flirt with someone, it’s either too obvious or too obnoxious. I can’t think of one reason any guy would want to be with me. Not one.
If love was a person, she would be the popular girl and I would be the nerd in the tired cliché. She would hate me and bully me for doing everything wrong. Yet I would try to do whatever just so I could to be just like her and I would envy how amazing and lucky she was. Then Loves friendly, popular, charming boyfriend, Crush, would be the best friend that I’d fall in love with. Unfortunately, Crush and I would always talk and I’d get comfortable with him, but he’s never feel quite as comfortable with me because he’s with love; because there has to be love with two people for a crush to ever evolve into anything more. Since I am nothing like Love I would never be able to get crush. Therefore I remain the lonely nerdy, loveless, crushless girl.
