I made yet another discovery today. Not an obvious sign, but one particular dated entry in his blog gave the slightest hint that New Guy is straight. Comments about girls at his college prom looking better than usual, followed by a heart shaped emoticon. And that's enough for me to know that I should stop thinking about him, because a dead end is inevitable if I continue down this road.
Sometimes I wonder which is worst....
Falling for a straight guy
OR
Falling for a gay guy that doesn't feel the same way about you.
OR
Falling for a gay guy that doesn't feel the same way about you.
Either way there is NO happy ending. But it seems like these 2 options are all I ever get. So it doesn't really matter if New Guy is plu or not, because chances are he sees me as nothing more than his junior.
I think it's the loneliness that made me fall for guys so easily in a subconscious manner.
Despite all the harsh lessons in the past, and my constant reminders to stay away from developing any romantic feelings for guys, I just keep steering my ship back into that place.
The place where I get all hopeful and picturing myself living happily ever after with 'The One'. That feeling when you see a guy and can instantly imagine how it would be like spending the rest of your life with him, and all the positive qualities about him that you're just so irresistibly drawn to.
But not long after, the 'Happily ever after' bubble bursts, and reality gives you a huge slap in the face. And you cannot say you were surprised because deep down a part of you knew it's just too good to be true.
Yeah. This vicious cycle of building myself up and then falling apart just keeps repeating itself.
Story of my life.
