Sometimes I wonder if love is worth fighting for, but then I remember your face and I'm ready for war.
In our real-world version, unattached girl falls for attached Guy. Attached guy expresses interest in unattached girl, they start “hanging out” together. Meanwhile unattached girl begins to develop, guess what—feelings of attachment. Now comes the cliffhanger, will attached guy become unattached from his attachment in order to become re-attached to the unattached girl?
Look, in all seriousness, if we (guys) met an “amusing” girl, but we have a feeling that she might be attached to someone else then maybe, just maybe, she’s not so amusing after all. Maybe she’s not even halfway decent. In fact, maybe she’s despicable, duplicitous and setting us up for heartbreak.
Now perhaps we think we are being too harsh, and that she deserves the benefit of the doubt. Fine, but what about us? What do we deserve, how about a girl who’s honest, straightforward and capable of making a commitment to us? So don’t give her the benefit of anything, because the only thing she might give you back is a whole lot of bullshit. And in the battlefield of dating and mating, the only one watching your back is you, yourself.
The truth is I will never know if I don’t ask. So don’t put it off, the longer I wait the more involved I get. Maybe she will tell me she’s unhappy, or in the process of breaking up and becoming “unattached.” Fine, she might really be telling the truth. But maybe she’s not unhappy. Maybe she’s perfectly content in her committed relationship, but looking for some action on the side. Trust me, there are so many girls who talk the talk without the slightest intention of ever walking the walk.
I must trust my gut and let her know my suspicions. Who knows? Maybe she’ll smile at me in a paranoid way.
