Valentine Kicks: being with someone...

           



 With the start of the Valentine week, most, if not all of us are excited. When I was a child I used to dream that when I grow up I would have prince charming who would sweep me off my feet, sing songs for me, buy me chocolates, and make me wanna go"aww". This year my father reminded me it's Rose Day and I realized, growing up has left me disillusioned and kind of sick of love. So the following post is going to be about the five important men in my life, excluding my dad and my brother of course! And I refuse to mention Hugh Jackman and Johnny Depp, whom I have adored since time immemorial! Now that I have mentioned them, not to sound overtly star struck but "dear lord" *melts inside*!

Coming back to the five men, they are totally different and signify the five type of men that are responsible for my new found cynicism where love is concerned.

The goof-up: My closest friend, my confidant, the person I call when I need to figure out how a boy's mind works; and he tells me that "like duh...it doesn't". He is the goof up, the one who likes a girl, and then stares at her. I am sure each girl has one such guy in her life, who likes her, but who also creeps her out. Let me tell you, he is just lost, he really likes you, but you make him nervous and thus he goes all creepy and weird on you. In fact, if you get to really know him, u will realize that the reason that he usually makes weird noises and says something silly is coz he is nervous as hell, and does not know how to act around you. Give him a chance and you just might be pleasantly surprised!

The jerk: Okay, this one most are well acquainted with. He is the one who looks like a Greek-god, or thinks he does; with an attitude that is should be your first warning to run for it. He usually will pursue you, and the more you refuse, the more he will persist. But, the catch is, as soon as he knows that you are into him, he will start with the excuses of being stifled, "no space" in the relationship, "we need a break" and tra-la-la. He has a shelf life of 6 weeks to 6 months, and knows it. You are better of without him, and if you can't figure out whether your guy falls in category or not, just see if he comes back as soon as start feeling better and messes you up again. If he does, head for the door!
The bad boy: Oh, this is my favorite kind. The one with the wild hair, the come-here smile, the devil-may-care look in his eyes and a voice that makes u melt inside. He is the perfect kind to go around with when you know you don't want to commit. He is fun, knows how to make you laugh, all the other women are jealous of you coz you have him, but beware, you can't get serious with him. He will run at the first sign of commitment, or involvement. He can be a friend, a confidant, but never your partner; and that's when the gig gets old. Perfect for a fling as he takes you around town on his bike (I do love a bullet!), the bad boy is your ticket to making yourself feel better.
The owner: This one is by far the worst type of guy you can land. You are believe me the most unlucky of the lot. Not only is he the most possessive person on earth, he will treat you like you are his property and he owns you outright! What time do you sleep, what you wear, where you go, who you talk to, what do you eat even your friends, everything will constantly be on his radar. He will be worse than your parents when you don't answer his calls (and that is saying something!). He will call you in the middle of the night, expect you to drop plans just because he wants to meet you and it will feel like he is taking over your life. His friends will be your friends, all your sentences will begin with, "when we were..." and even your thoughts will be taken over by him, be it in love or fear. The only thing I can say about him is STAY AWAY!!!

The spoiler: This one is by far the most dangerous. Not because he is bad, in fact he is the opposite. He is good, too good. He is the only one who can leave a permanent mark on your psyche, leave you an emotional mess and feel like you can't be without him. He will be your friend, your support, your rock. He is the type of guy that girls want, what the films and books we feed upon since adolescence talk about. He is the one who will hold you on cold nights, make you coffee in the morning, sing you to sleep if you need it. He is also the one who will spoil you for other men. After dating him, it will difficult to just move on. You will keep comparing others to him, and no one will match up. The only thing that you can do when you find him is, Keep him. <3 <3


So, Happy Valentine's Day. Mine is filled with classes I don't want to attend and late night movies which I will sob through till it reaches it beautiful and very very romantic end!
