In fact it is so you. I wouldn't label you a hypocrite. I think you are kinder than you give yourself credit to. Tho u may argue that it is cowardice, but i would believe the very notion of not hurting someone's feelings just because you don't like him/her romantically is kind. There are always more ways than one to convey your intentions other than rejecting them straight in the face. It may take some time, but well, I guess it may be your cup of tea. ;) Nevertheless, i feel that if you want to do it this way, maybe you shouldn't doubt yourself and your intentions. Just believe in yourself! As long a you can justify it, it's fine. haha cos director says so =)Big Hands, Bigger Hearts 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10201241897828238940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417076.post-50341250261669016782008-02-06T01:13:00.000+08:002008-02-06T01:13:00.000+08:00how can it be demeaning if it's for their sake?how can it be demeaning if it's for their sake?Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220050478240826259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417076.post-21800303491945744992008-02-05T21:33:00.000+08:002008-02-05T21:33:00.000+08:00don't you think someone would find it demeaning to...don't you think someone would find it demeaning to realise this? that you're willing to sustain the joy they may find in this companionship, with something fake, just for their sake?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417076.post-17835950791797400242008-02-04T17:47:00.000+08:002008-02-04T17:47:00.000+08:00HAHA you're annoy-nomous huh. hmpf. well, then the...HAHA you're annoy-nomous huh. hmpf. well, then there's the question of how much right i have to dislike a person, or rather, to act on that dislike. i think its better to be fake and wait than to shut the door on someone. i'm just talking about people i dont feel anything for, no closeness, no hatred, nothing. it's the same way you are nice to strangers because you don't know them and they've done nothing wrong (or right for that matter)? no matter how logical you are, i still believe in going against my negative intuition and trusting that vague chance of a surprise! HAHA. what a contradiction huh. and actually i'm more frightened of and puzzled by the one-sidedness of relationships than wasting my time with hi-bye friends. my theory is, if someone asks you out, you must mean something to them, even if its just for fun or companionship or just to catch up or what not. and as much as i might dread being with them, who am i to deny such companionship? it's better to be fake sometimes. it's sad if people like you and you don't like them back. how is this possible?? haha. but it is! and it's scary if its the other way round and i like people who don't like me. highly possible. ahahh. oh hell, im just trying to be nice and it gets so complicating??!!! this ridiculous cycle i've thrown myself in i'm not going to undo for equally ridiculous reasons.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220050478240826259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417076.post-91436472910735244742008-02-04T14:30:00.000+08:002008-02-04T14:30:00.000+08:00no, we're talking about people you don't really li...no, we're talking about people you don't really like, right? you said you're going out just to be nice and diplomatic. so i'm not really assuming anything. i'm just saying in such a case it might be better to reject than to be fake, and then worry that you were being fake; as well as a myriad other self-deprecating thoughts. certainly if you didn't see it coming then i wouldn't be saying the same, but if you had that inkling, anticipated something beforehand, and yet decided repeatedly to go against your intuition for the sake of being accommodating or a vague chance of a surprise, is it helping either of you? i'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, in fact i'm sure you already know all of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417076.post-20622826273972906682008-02-04T02:11:00.000+08:002008-02-04T02:11:00.000+08:00but see you're making the assumption that you'll l...but see you're making the assumption that you'll lead someone on or dig yourself deeper into some place you don't want to go. lol. what if you're wrong? i'm always half waiting to be surprised, to say, "i was wrong, hell, it was fun" or something. that, and, it's always easier to say "yes". because rejection is painful, cruel, and quick. no matter how necessary it is, i can't bring myself to do it. ironically, maybe saying "yes" is cowardice. aiyah. i always ask for it.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220050478240826259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417076.post-20052036807967977562008-02-03T04:40:00.000+08:002008-02-03T04:40:00.000+08:00personally, i'd just rather not meet than have to ...personally, i'd just rather not meet than have to lead anyone on. it just digs yourself deeper into some place you don't want to go, and what good is to be found there? that's why i hate assuming that anyone enjoys my company, or assuming anything, in fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
