April... Confidence in Humility and Seeking to Act in Service.

I know it's been a while since I've written, but I have a story for ya'll...
Once upon a time there was a girl who had to take the bus to work every week. One day she met this really nice guy on that bus. He flirted with her and was handsome, and she thought he was really somethin'! Then they hung out once. The guy was taken aback, he really liked this girl and wanted to date her! Yet the girl for some reason was not feeling the same way... She didn't know why, I mean, he was a perfectly nice guy! Really sweet and willing to work for her! When he mentioned the possibility of someday getting in a relationship she quickly retracted and kept saying how she didn't even know him, and how she didn't want to rush things. Now that boy and girl hardly ever talk. The girl doesn't regret it. She knows it was right... but the story isn't over yet!

About a month or so later the girl meets this new guy, but the guy is off limits. She's automatically interested in the guy because she cannot have him. She figures she'll get over it, but when the guy becomes on limits... she's still somehow interested. She becomes nervous every time she thinks about him, stutters when she says his name, and her heart is always hurting wondering how he feels about her. The girl knows that they hardly know each other... yet for some reason she doesn't care... she just wants to get to know that guy more and more... The girl... has suddenly become that boy on the bus... and the new boy... is going to retract... because she is becoming less and less of a challenge.

I guess my question is... Why do we do the things that we don't like others doing? Why do our hearts get us caught up in the impossible, but when the possible comes along we shut it down?!

This girl is also very pessimistic about this new guy... she knows his type. She knows that to gain his favor she's going to have to play hard to get. She can't give the guy the time of day when all she wants is to spend all her time with him getting to know him! Yet the girl doesn't want to have to do this!! A part of her would love to play it out to make him happy and love to see where it goes, but the other part just really wants to freak him out so she can move on with her life! She knows that if she pulls a "Ted" from "How I Met Your Mother". She wont get her heart broken, and she can move on with her life with out worrying about this guy anymore... So what does she do? Freak the guy out? Or let things pan out how they should? She's not a patient girl... I'm not so sure how long before her heart bursts with anticipation for the future.
