Hmmmm . . . I'm in a weird mood right now.
It's sort of sad/tired/nostalgic/sentimental/restless. Very odd. I despise being in moods this weird because NOTHING gets me out of them! Good things could happen to me all day long but my day will still feel . . .off. Yeah, I know I'm not being very articulate but whatever. No one reads this anyway, at least not to my knowledge.
I was working on my english paper when my friend in Denver called me. She has some . . . interesting ideas about certain things. Anyway, she talked the whole time about her boyfriend. They've been going out for about a year and I guess it's come to the point where she wants "more" from the relationship. Basically, she wants him to tell her he loves her. I had to sit there and listen to her worry that he won't tell her, or that if does it won't be romantic enough. Very exasperating.
In the midst of all the teen drama, I started to think about how I would tell someone I love them. I know it sounds dumb, but it was sort of interesting to think about. What if I fall in love? I need to have a gameplan. I came up with the following guidelines for myself to not ruin the moment:
1. I would tell them when they least expected it. I sort of try to make a habit out of doing things when people arn't expecting it because the reaction is more honest. I would especially want the reaction to be as honest as possible in this case. Also, I hate cliches. If you tell someone you love them when they are expecting it, it's bound to be a cliche moment.
2. If I said it, I would do it at a moment where I meant it. A lot.
3. I would say it outside. I know that's really odd sounding, but outside is just . . . better
If the moment is right, I think telling someone you love them will come off right no matter how romantic you're trying to be. Isn't it ridiculous to have romantic "standards" ? I think so, anyway. People are surprising. If you set standards for them or put them in a box you'll never see how good they can be. Why do that with love?
Yeah, so that was very pointless and probably made no sense, but that's what I was thinking about.
