a most unusual predicament

a friend of mine seems to have put himself in a most unusual predicament. he's currently in a relationship, or should i say "relationship", with this girl who seems to be absolutely head over heels in love with him (i think it's safe to say that). unfortunately for the girl, he doesn't share the same degree of enthusiasm. and it has come to the point that because of my friend's... uh... disinterest, she's become so unnaturally aggressive that he's finding her to be rather... how to put this lightly... annoying.

this has been going on for some time now, but still, he hasn't dumped her. as far as i know, he hasn't found the courage. well, according to him at least. and to spice the story up, he just found out that the girl is afflicted with this heart condition. so she's already in a pretty delicate condition, and his dumping her could leave her heart broken, i mean literally. and so, the dillema.

but what i've been wondering is, before he found out about her heart condition, if he didn't really like her, why didn't he just dump her in the first place?

i can think of three alternate possibilities.

possibility one.
he's lying. he really does like her. case in point, last saturday. we went to play some basketball in another friend's house, the girl also came with him. after the game, the two seemed so sweet to each other that you could literally have ants swarming over the both of them. but as to why... i don't know... i don't think he really has any incentive in lying, which brings us to the next possibility.

possibility two
this is a variation of possibility one, denial. maybe he really does like her, but he just can't admit it to himself yet (and to everybody else too, for that matter). this one's pretty understandable. getting into a new relationship can be a bit scary.

possibility three
contingency measure. maybe, he really doesn't like her as much as he would like to, but he's still open to the possibility of him liking her more in the future. so he's just taking a wait and see stance for the meanwhile. if nothing happens, then he dumps her. unfortunately for him, this is no longer as easy as it was.

i'm quite curious how all this'll end up. does he really like her or will he break up with her? if he does break up with her, considering her condition, how? abangan ang susunod na kabanata...

well, anything is possible. it depends on the GUY! how'd he be able to handle the situation. all i can say in the current situation of the GUY is that is he letting the GIRL get hold of the situation? is SHE dictating HIM what to do and this poor GUY just seems to follow whatever she says. HE'S just like a dog that genuinely follows whatever the master wishes him/her to do. i feel pity of the said GUY! with such no courage.. FEAR CONSUMES AND DESTROYS PEOPLE!! OR maybe this guy is just enjoying being with HER. and this GUY is OPEN to all POSSIBILITIES!! POOR GUY!!! :)

May be he should consult "Noy Kulas".

I do not know what's going on with that guy's life since I left the vicinity. All I can say is that I should leave the two alone. Whether he is trying to make love grow by the passing of time, convincing himself he is indeed caught by the stronghold of love, just enjoying the moments, or simply waiting for what happens next is his choice in life.

They are all "grown-ups" if I may say so. They both know what is best for them. And so I am leaving them to their senses and judge for their actions. You will never know until you try but take note, regret lasts forever!

So for people who want to be like me, I have one advice. Keep cool and try to be smart! Remember the value of everything you consider special. Take your time but never too long. Smile and be contagious. Good luck and God bless to all.
