- I have a dilemma. here is the story:
-
- Recently i've met a girl, not just any ordinary girl, we're talking about
- the girl of my dream. She's everything that i've ever wanted in a woman.
- So we meet and talk and she ends up being my best friend's girl. Now you
- ask, how in the world did i allow this to happen? Well, my best friend was
- downright inconsiderate, and not sparing my feelings of despair and
- loneliness, he asks her out for a date and somehow attempted to charm her.
- Now she is completely in his power. I feel that this situation is really
- unfair because i'm very similar to him, and i've made it known that i was
- very interested in this girl (but not to her). My feelings are numb and
- i'm insensitive to any emotion whatsoever. I think that life sucks and if
- i don't get a date by the time i'm 30 i will go to Lubby's and shoot all
- the women on this face of earth! There, how do you like them apples? No,
- actually I'll just go and see several shrinks and have an inferiority
- complex for the rest of my natural life. So I'm somewhat depressed right
- now, but thank god i still have my cat. Actually, i can't wait until my
- best friend leaves and never come back, then i can try again with my dream
- girl, and i promise this time we'll have a better conversation.
-
- No, really, I still like my best friend, and he's probably better for her
- than I am. What I need is a way to reconcile how I actually feel (envy,
- despair, loneliness, spite, bitterness, *&^^*&^%) with what i should feel
- (happiness for my friend and peace with myself) ????
