Sometimes you should just take that risk
A memory; snippets of conversation:
Pandy and her best-friend-who's-a-boy, J, talking about crushes:
J: There’s a girl I really like.
Pandy: Oh yeah? *Smiles* Who is she? Tell me about her.
J: She’s great, we’re really good friends. I can talk to her about anything and everything. We always have a laugh. This one’s special.
Pandy: Aww.. So why haven’t you asked her out yet?
J: *Looks at floor, embarrassed* I’m scared she might say no and that it would spoil out friendship.
Pandy: Well, what vibes do you get from her? Anything more than just friends?
J: Sometimes, but then other times, I just don’t know.
Pandy: What’s her name? Have I met her?
J: *Still looking away, thinks* I don’t want to say, you might know her.
Pandy: Aww, go on, you know I won’t say anything.
J: *Faint smile, blushes*
Pandy: *Tries to work out who it could be* At least describe her?
J: *Looking embarrassed again* She has pretty eyes and she makes me happy, that’s all I’ll say.
.
.
One drunken night:
Pandy & J have snogs, kisses and cuddles.
.
.
Pandy on the phone to her friend, the next day:
Pandy: I’m so embarrassed, what if it’s really awkward after this?
Friend: It will only be if you let it. Do you like him? Y’ know, like that?
Pandy: I dunno, I never really thought about it. It doesn’t matter whether I like or not anyway, cos last week he was telling me about this girl he’s really in to. *Recounts the conversation*
Friend: Oh my god, you’re so thick!
Pandy: What? Why?
Friend: You do know that he was talking about you, don’t you?
Pandy: *Long pause, running the whole conversation through her head* Oh..
.
.
J went travelling, Pandy got absorbed in uni life. Neither wanted to embarrass themselves or ruin their friendship. Pandy doesn’t know where J is now, or what he’s doing. She hasn’t heard from him in years. She misses him.
Have you ever looked back and wondered what might have happened if you had done something differently?

*HUGE HUGS*
Totally know where you're coming from though. Met a guy and he wanted something long term but I didn't (foolish youth me) and now he's all babied up with his partner. It's always a case of 'if only I'd stayed with you for a bit longer' but then I kinda think everything would've been SO different in my life and it may have, but possibly may not have, been for the better.
Love you sweetie.xxxx

Yes, after my initial culture shock at a mixed school in the US, there was a boy called Adam who was very cute. He was friendly to me, but I still didn't understand motives (my first year I was harrassed by a bad boy), so I was defensive...
He was in my English, art and drama classes and after I told him to go away, I can't remember if he still talked to me. He is the only guy I tried to find recently and make things right, but it's tough since he is called Adam Cooper, like the dancer.
Just when springtime was beginning to cheer things up? Must be *because* it's springtime and there's no man in sight :P
xoxoxoxoxox
Lets see what life brings next.. xx
Livvy, I am..? :)
Did you find Adam Cooper in the end? The poor boy! :)
Yes it must be the lovely warm and sunny Spring weather.. that and PMT :| I'm sure we'll cheer up soon! xx
Gues we have to presume that everything happens for a reason and it's for the better.
*hugs*

I am loving the super sunny weather at the moment, it gives me more bounce! Hope you're recovering well from dental surgery. *hugs*
Hey Sppadic! How've you been? Yes reminiscing, but looking forward and being positive, like you said. Cliches only exist because they're mostly true, eh? And yes, definitely hoping to meet someone better! :) Take care sweetie!
