Why I should have given that guy a chance
But before I get to it, maybe I should state first why did not give him the time of day...
He was normal guy. He wasn't tall, nor handsome. He'd fit in a crowd and he wouldn't be the first person you see. You'll notice him, sure. That's only because he runs with the wild ones. Even at first glance you'd know that he drinks a lot. For a guy, a normal guy, he actually likes to party. He smokes cigarettes, and, sometimes, not cigarettes. IN a party he'd be attached to his bros, drinking beer or shots. You'd probably find him in the garden or the den, or wherever the stoners were. He never stood out. He still doesn't. I remember seeing him once and I said "Hi", but he didn't notice me. I thought it was strange because, he always sees me Then I realised he was high. This happened during class.
He used to text me a lot. We'd talk about random things and he'd try to segue into something flirty that never really worked for him. So he tried to stop being flirty, and continued on being nice and funny. Try is the word.
We would talk about random things and how he did not have a goal in life. We'd talk about being lazy, and not exerting that much effort in school. And while being lazy may seem cool, it's not. I did not know this before but I wanted a guy who had a passion, a drive, a sense of motivation. He was not that guy. He was just high or drunk most of the time. I graduated earlier than he did. I graduated probably two or three terms earlier than him and he did not mind. This was considering the fact that I already purposely delayed myself for one term because I wanted to balance my workload in my organisation and my college thesis.
He was also in love. That was how I met him. The first night I met him, he was still in love. At that time he was already 3 months broken up with his ex. He was drunk and she was all he talked about, and I listened. I was never into him, and I never thought he would ever see me as a rebound. After that first night, that's when he started to flirt with me. I spoke with a common friend and found out that it's true - my only purpose for him at that time was to be his rebound girl. He was a normal guy who did not care about life, and I was his rebound. That fact did wonders for my pride. Thank God I never fell for him.
