[quote="Bazaa"]Anyway, just wanted to say that I might be falling in love again right now ^^;[/quote]
Ahhh, how cute. ^o^ Sounds like you're having some exciting days now? ^.^;
Hmm... I'm sure I've mentioned my boyfriend somewhere in this forum, but apparently not in this thread, so to sum it up - he's US-American while I'm here in Austria, which makes ours a very-long-distance relationship ^.^; All is fine and well (and has been so for two years now) save for our totally different characters (I can hear you say "uh-oh" ^.^; ). I remember that when I met him (in order to show him around in Vienna), I had lost all insecurities about not having a boyfriend or being in love (I was 19 then), so I could be sure that I didn't want him as my boyfriend in order to be able to say "I have one, look! Brand-new!" ;p Well, that and the Mad Tornado Of Rabid Butterflies in my stomach made me stumble into the whole thing (after like 3 days of knowing him?). Now, the only thing that bugs me is our philosophical differences, which is possibly an odd cause for quarrels in love relationships. Oh, and one other bad thing that occurred was that a good internet friend (she had sent him via Vienna on his Europe trip) had had a crush on him - I knew that, but decided that I wouldn't ditch my very first occasion of falling in love for her, and that she would understand. She didn't, and gave me a terribly hard time for 1 1/2 years, until even stubborn Me ended the friendship.
@charp: sometimes it seems a little like "getting the short end of the stick" is more a self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, no doubt men feel hurt and get ditched, too (I have a very whiny friend ^.^; ).
I used to be the light of every party when I was younger, but now that I have to go out and pick my friends myself, I choose many things over them, like my studies for example, or just being alone. That made my self-confidence suffer a little (my voice is a little more quiet now, for example) because I just can't use my (actually very good) social skills all the time. On the other hand, people make me tired. So... I need to find a better balance, and also people I can see more often and would like to see more often.
I wouldn't confess my feelings to my best friend because he's also the person who buys some of the Manga I love. ;p Seriously, though, I don't think I could ever love him, even though he is the greatest guy I have ever met, in every respect.
Omigosh, sorry for the long post!
