Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Hello there. It's been awhile, eh? Like what, 6 weeks? Yeah... don't really know what to tell ya, haven't been in much of a writing mood, I suppose.

But my friend says she misses reading my musings... and since I've always aimed to please, I shall try to be better about writing here. Try. Really. I will!

So I thought about what I should write about. I have enough stuff going on in my life right now. Drama that I don't really feel like writing about at the moment, so I've decided to write a bit about something that's been weighing on my mind. Not neccessarily my own drama, it's my friend's, but since I set it in motion so to speak, I feel somewhat responsible.

She has been single for quite a while, and upon seeing me find a successful, happy relationship lamented how she was tired of being alone, and wanted to be in a relationship as well. So she begged. She pleaded. For me to find her a boyfriend. So I tried. And tried and tried. Well, she didn't make it easy! She is quite possibly the worlds shyest person. Which I can kind of relate to, because I am somewhat shy as well. And everyone is afraid of rejection. But she just takes it to a whole new level. I've tried to help her the best I can, and I hope, with writing this that I will give her the boost she needs to do what I think she needs to do, haha.

I found a guy for her, a guy that I think is perfect for her in all regards. He's a great guy, truly. And she really, really likes him. But, she is unsure of her situation with him. And instead of doing the simple things and just ASKING. She is continuing to drive herself mad, probably giving herself an ulcer, no doubt. Worrying and stressing about the whole situation. She thinks he isn't into her, and that she should just give up. I tell her she has nothing to lose, and quite possibly everything to gain if she just asks him how he feels and what he wants.

But will she? Sigh. I just don't know. I've tried to explain to her that guys just don't bring up those kinds of conversations. If she wants to know where they stand, she has to initiate the convo. Don't ask me why guys are like that. I don't claim to understand men at all. I love my boyfriend like crazy, and think he is amazing. And yet, I still am confused as hell by him a lot of the time, haha.

I found this picture that I think is a good illustration that almost in a scientific way, haha, explains "relationships" and maybe will help her figure out what she has going on.
