The Kiss, The Aftermath

I would not have posted this on the blog but my friend explicitly told me NOT to post so therefore I had to.

If you don’t want to read the following I won’t blame you, this is one of my most stupid and worthless posts.

Here is an excerpt of what this post is, if interested then sure go ahead waste your time.

My friend’s long time love kisses him and says forget what happened!

———————-

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” - Einstein.

“Love is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one.” - The Einstein in me.

I have earlier banged my head in the desk, pulled my hair off, punched the wall, kicked the chair, but never understood a girl, I have given up. This incident just strengthens my resolve.

I was studying at around 2 in the night and I got a call from a long time friend of mine, the guy sounded absolutely excited and asked me how was I and what am I doing these days, blah blah. Later, he said that, “Dude, I need to tell you something, only between the two of us.” I said yeah sure, go ahead I could do with some bull shit at 2. I was bored as it is.

The guy tried to remind me his long time crush who lives in his complex (she is cute, if I may add) I remembered, having met her a couple of times. He told me how his ‘relationship’1 with her was on an ON & OFF basis. The girl had actually very politely told him to fuck off initially, the usual ‘I like you but as a friend’. He then tried to break contact but he couldn’t. She knew this guy had a crush on him, but she was never into him.

Back to the conversation, he said that he had a lip-lock with her, I was dumb founded, I was like WTF! you mean you accidentally bumped into her? He said, No, we actually kissed I was pleasantly surprised and said, “Dude, persistence pays, man, great, super.” and said a few more things in Hindi slang. I had never heard him so happy. He wasn’t jumping around but he was genuinely just happy about what happened. I asked him how, what happened?

He told me that a few days back she called him from Delhi and said that she was remembering him, I was like good for you, lucky bastard. We talked about normal college stuff and caught on old times, and went back to our lives.

That was the Kiss, now the aftermath.

Today, I called him back to ask whether he had finally hooked up and were they officially going out together. He sounded depressed. It is fairly easy to recognize the change in tone of a person and say what is their mood. He said “Dude, I think it was just a lucky moment, I was at the right place at the right time .”

I asked what happened? You kissed, a lip-lock man, that’s like really big. He said I met her today and asked her a few questions, I was hoping he would say that he asked her out and some stuff. But, the asked her, “Why?” I was like what, you asked her Why? You asked a girl who kissed you as to why she kissed you! He said, yeah I did. I kinda realized why he was depressed. Who in their right minds would go and ask a long time crush as to why did she kiss him? Fagot he is, I tell you.

Anyways, I asked him what did she say and he said that she didn’t have an answer, she said “It just happened.” I said, well so? He went on to say that she told him, that it just happened, don’t try to understand or ask why it happened. Whatever happened, happened. Just leave it at that.

He said that, “It’s easy for her to say, forgetting that moment of bliss is as easy as forgetting her.” The sarcasm was evident. He went on to say that it was “a moment of nirvana for him”. Seriously, what shit?

I kinda think they were caught in the moment. I told him that it was his mistake, he shouldn’t have had asked her why, but rather asked, when next? or better still should have re-proposed his love to her. He said he was afraid of rejection, I said dude, you were already, you can get over it and he said, “Yeah right (feel the sarcasm?), that’s why I don’t wanna go through the same again.” I agreed, he was pretty messed up when she dumped him, despite knowing for a long time that he had a crush on her, she simply turned around and said, “Can we just be friends”, never understood why do girls do that.

I have no clue what’s up with the girl though, she dumps him, remembers him, calls him, they kiss and then she tells him to forget it! I feel bad for my friend, poor him. I told him about the quote I posted on top and the fact that the Einstein in me realized the above when I had my share of girl problems.

Well, I wish he gets his senses back and wish the best for him. If either of you’re reading this, I am sorry I had to. I’m Just Being Manan.

    Manan, when i read the title of this post i thought that the night you were talking about on facebook included a kiss between you and you know who!!! and in response to that kiss you are writing this! lol.

    tc

  3. Reeteshinator Says:

    Ah..that really sad man :( Its like that girls is playing around with your friends emotions :-S

    Maybe this will make him stronger or something.

    He has two choices now.

    Either value the kiss and remember it forever and not go near her again.

    Or use her as a source of free kisses and enjoy the moment like she is doing to him.
    :|

    @Arvind: Writing it was fun man :D

    @Shrav: I wish I came across someone willing to kiss me, you know anyone in UK? :P

    @Reetesh: He ain’t gonna get anymore free kisses for sure :P also I don’t think she is deliberately ‘playing around’ I think she herself isn’t sure of what to do. The way I have put the article might make it sound as though she is playing but I wouldn’t really want to pass that judgment about her.

  5. T Says:

    Lol..thats kinda loling around when hormonal surge makes you lock-lip, thats pretty much evident that it wasn’t love on girl’s part.

    She wanted to try it just for the sake of trying.

    It happens in one sided love or infatuation, i could have done the same (me in that girl’s place and another girl in his place).

    But a bit of control over opposite attracts saved me from further consequences.

    The Girl in this case is surely weak and don’t know how to control herself. She must have thought about what if she has to answer him someday. Its so cheap to say that it just happened :p…lol, you were on high when it happened.

    Btw thats just my 2 cents, i don’t qualify as a candidate to testify the pair (or not so) in context of the subject.

    Tell the guy that he should not expect something from her, take the moment as one of the most lucky moments (or opportunities) in his life.

  6. manan Says:

    I’m not judging the girl but well, girls are girls, not my area of expertise.

  7. Sathya Says:

    Why? Why? Why? That’s all he could ask? WHY?????
    Oh man. well T has put it pretty correctly there’s nothing much to comment on.

    But WHY??? Oh god. I can’t get over WHY.

    PS: Great use of footnote. I burst out laughing at teh footnote. Footnote FTW!

  8. Quiz_Master Says:

    lolol

    I was rolling on the floor when reading this…

    But Exactly (99.9% same) same thing happened with me few months ago and I came to my senses.. lol

    Don’t call me a EMO… But I wanna ask too..

    WHY? WHY? WHY? Girls are like that :p

  9. Aayush Arya Says:

    Let me just pitch in a word about something Sathya already pointed out—the footnote.

    LOL! Relationship = Friends. I thought it was a tag or something and realised it was a footnote on reading Sathya’s comment.

    Great use, man. Like he said, footnotes FTW! :p

  10. manan Says:

    @Ashwin: I have no clue & I have given up figuring that out, I don’t why do girls behave like they do. Maybe that’s how Eve behaved.

    @Sathya & Aayush: :lol: Was trying to convey the things as is :)

  11. GX Says:

    Lolz, tell your friend to pretend that he is ok with what she wants. Girls don’t like to be dumped but love to dump. The moment she finds that he is not affected & it is normal for him to kiss she will get irked & will try to make your friend realize that the kiss should matter. This way she will get close to him.

    Now I hope she isn’t reading this blog else the masterplan will be useless

  12. manan Says:

    I kinda forgot this little text that I had on my Orkut profile:

    “A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.”

    And there by concluded:

    Love is merely an illusion …. albeit a very persistent one

  13. T Says:

    ^^yeah, i had a small post about the above phenomenon and an awesome answer by one guy :P

    Sadly my site is down :(

  14. manan Says:

    I see it is back up. Nice to see it working again. Now, I would request you to link me to the answer.

  15. T Says:

  16. manan Says:

    A friend of mine once asked me, between Sex & Money if I were to choose 1 given that I will not have the other what would I choose.

    Not surprisingly I chose money. I guess somewhere down the line subconsciously I realized this.

    “Why” is perfectly legitimate question to ask.

    After all the “Why?” was just a arcane and courtly way of asking a plethora of more relevant and important questions wasn’t it? :p.

    “Were you of SOUND MIND when you did this?”,
    “Was it a CONSCIOUS decision and if so, WHEN DO WE DO IT AGAIN OMFG!?!?!?!?! ;)

    Ergo respect to your “friend” for asking what was on his mind, why beat around the bush when there are potential kisses, lip locks and tongue contusions to be relished aye?

    PS: There are plenty of fish in the sea, so unless your “friend” is completely boring facile douche with little or no chance of getting a girl to look his way,he should keep his chin up and move on :P
