January 2002-May 2002
I got to know this gal a while ago and she piqued my interest.So I
tried(still trying) to "get to know her better". Met with some
resistance at first,but gradually I thought perseverance was
finally about to move mountains.Just when I was experiencing a bit
of success after trying really very hard,I found out that she was
attached...I was bitterly crushed but Life still went on.I told
myself that I'd still keep in contact with her (which I did)while
keeping my options open and also seize any window of opportunity
that came my way.So I waited...
31st May 2002
When she told me that she had broken up,I thought my breakthrough
had finally came...3 hours later,Senegal beat France 1-0...Anything
is possible now!!!
World Cup month
I rooted for all the underdogs-Senegal,Turkey,Ireland,South
Korea.Why? Because my situation was(still is) pretty much like
theirs so I could identify with them.For once,it really seemed that
fairy tales can come true...I never felt so uplifted since I
watched "The Shawshank Redemption".
July 2002
She told me she is attached again.I didnt expect her to get
attached so soon again and the guy she only knew for a few
months.Furthermore,she said the present relationship is very stable
unlike the previous one.The window of opportunity closed as soon as
it opened...
August 2002
I wanted to see her one last time before I go for SEP.She said her
boyfriend would not be happy if we meet too often.Often? I meet her
once every 2-3 weeks or more...So I am the sacrificial pawn yet
again.Anyway I won't be seeing her for a few months till I come
back from SEP.I think that would be a good break for me.
So what am I going to do about this situation? Like the first
time-Keep in contact with her while keeping options open and wait
for any window of opportunity to open again.
Any of you guys ever been in this predicament before?
