Touch of the Past

I was just thinking how it was possible for people to meet a new person, start liking them, and then get into a relationship after perhaps, a month. For me, that just feels so incredibly half-hearted. How well do you know a person after a month? And what do you like about her after knowing her for just a month? In all fairness, I've to admit that some relationships do work out this way. But more often than not, the couple would break up shortly after realising that they are not meant for each other?

The point I'm trying to bring across is that, in a relationship, you've got to be more than friends. But that doesn't mean that you aren't friends anymore. But rather, it's an even closer friendship. That's what I want. And that's why I find it hard to just go out, meet people, think that the feeling is right, ask them out and ultimately ask them to be my girlfriend. It just..feels wrong.

Okay now that the philosophical crap is out of the way, it's time to come back to life. I've been thinking about it. I still like Serine and it's hard to forget about her just like this. That being said, I'm not looking to get into a relationship with her, at least not now.

I think I've changed from a few months ago. At that time, I really wanted to get together with Serine, wanting her to finally accept me. But now, I guess I've moved on from that stage. I don't need her to accept me anymore. Liking her just means that. She's no longer someone I need to be with. But rather, someone I just like unconditionally. When there are no expectations, there are no disappointments.

Life with no disappointments is great. :)
