Foiled

I call it fools rushing in.

It happened too fast that it just swept us both. But as days go by, I was realizing that maybe this person was after something else. To those who are close to me and in the know, they will know what I'm talking about.

I am officially stopping this madness today. And if ever there will be a second time, I'd like to start fresh. Let me share though some parts of it.

Ours was chance meeting. We met at a coffeeshop in legaspi village. The whole introduction stage was unorthodox. We got to know each other through texting only. Although both of us were physically there, we never faced each other until the first date. Every thing was smooth sailing then. We would be constant textmates and sometimes even YM-mates. But then things didn't seem right.

One was constantly needing of attention. One was independent. One just came out of a twisted relationship. The other one was waiting for the one. One was insensitive. The other one was super sensitive. But not every thing was different. Like we're in the same industry, we have common interests and beliefs and even passions in life.

But them something was not right. We're good friends, and I think nothing more can ever happen outside of that. I am looking for something else. I just won't be able to trust myself with this person.

The question that triggered me: what would you do if you know you don't like the person and the relationship's not going to work anyway? Would say goodbye already or would you want to give it a chance and see it through, who knows?

I think by asking myself this question I've already subconsciously pre-judged the outcome of this whole thing: NOT GOING TO WORK. More important, by asking this question, I really am not giving it a fighting chance, otherwise option one wouldn't have surfaced.

Shucks. Foiled.
