I was walking with one of my friends today, and we happened to get onto the subject of boys. Again. Now, for a few weeks, i've been kidding myself that I don't like Guy Number 2 anymore, but deep down, I've known that in reality, I'm nowhere near over him. So, casually slipping this into our convosation, I was a little bit worried about how my friend would react. "Whaaat?! NO! You were making progress Amy, real progress," was something like how it went. My friend then decided to set me a little bit of homework. For tomorrow (or today, depending how long I end up writing for), I have to write a 1000 word essay on the pro's and con's of each guy I like (theres only two, so don't worry) and post it on here. So here is a 1000 word essay on The Pro's and Con's of 'Guy Number 1' and 'Guy Number 2'. (We'll say GN1 and GN2 for short)...
So, heres the thing. I like two guys, both of which have really good things AND really bad things. Take GN2 for instance, he’s adorable and gives the best hugs ever, but, he has a girlfriend and all my friends think he’s a player. Similarly, GN1 is really sweet and kind, but, we hardly ever talk and he kind of annoys me. So hopefully, through this essay, I’ll find out which guy I like more, well I will in theory. So here it goes...
GN1
We used to be quite close. Half a year ago, we would sit next to each other in lesson and mess around and stuff. For example, we almost went to prom together. We both asked each other at the exact same time, which led to me panicking and saying that I wasn’t going (everyone laugh at my stupidity). I would also catch him and his friends staring at me, as though they were talking about me. It doesn’t sound much, but thats sort of what originally made me like him, the fact that I had even the tiniest little chance with him.
On the other hand, we’re total opposites. He’s loud, confident and will talk to basically anyone; I’m quiet, have as little self confidence that is possible, and would rather sit in the corner in silence than talk with the idiots of my science class. This has led to me analysing his every move while we’re in lessons, just to see if he talks the same way to everyone. Pathetic, I know. This has also led to me thinking that he likes other girls. I managed to convince myself for half a year that he likes a girl in my science class, for no reason other than he talks to her more than most people.
We’re both really competitive, which has led to some hilarious lessons. When we sit next to each other, we have drawing competitions, writing competitions, basically anything as long as we can beat each other at it. The best one I remember was who could get the loudest ‘pop’ when we were doing something called ‘The Squeaky Pop Test’ in science (I won, just saying).
Pretty much totally unrelated, but I hardly know any of his friends, and those who I do, I don’t particularly like. He hangs around with a group of people, who in England are known as ‘chavs’. Wikipedia sums it up pretty well : "Chavs" are said to be aggressive teenagers, of working class background, who repeatedly engage in anti-social behaviour such as street drinking, drug abuse and rowdiness, or other forms of juvenile delinquency. I should probably point out, that he is not a ‘chav’, just his friends are, but if by the slimmest chance I do end up going out with him, then shouldn’t I be able to get along with his friends (without wanting to vomit due to the smell of cigarette smoke being emitted from them)?
GN2
We have history. This is where it gets confusing. GN2 got GN1 to ask me out for him two years ago (oh, the irony), we went out for about a week, but I called it off because he was a little be ‘obsessive’. For instance, after he got GN1 to ask me out, that night he called me 14 times to ask me to go for lunch with him the next day. Now, as a ‘commitment-phobic’ that scared the hell out of me. When we did go out for lunch, we spent the whole time in awkward silence, which also creeped me out.
He’s lovely. He gives me hugs, we play footsie, we shove each other off of the table and mess up each others work, we have pen fights, water fights, we share Ipods, he picks me up, we have a laugh, we flirt, the list could go on... A girl in my science class said that we’re like an old married couple. Mind, I also think that that girl is psychic as she casually asked if I had ever heard of the ‘elastic-band method of flirting’, while we were in front of GN2. This led to me panicking for half an hour over how she knew AND what GN2 knew...
He has a girlfriend. They’ve been together for two years, and if I’m being honest, I’m insanely jealous of her. When I see them hugging, holding hands or kissing in the corridor, basically, it makes me turn into an emotional wreck. And the worst part is, I know that I could have had that, if I’d never said that we were better of as friends. Karma’s a bitch....
He’s not shy about the fact that we flirt, which is really confusing! He’ll quite happily walk along the corridor with me, arm around my waist, saying hello to all of his mates, then hit me on the arse with a book. In front of everyone. This usually leads to me kicking or hitting him, which will then lead to us hugging in the middle of the corridor in front of everyone. I half scared that one day his girlfriend will find out and come and slap me. To be honest, she’d have every right....
In conclusion, this hasn’t helped me at all. I’m still confused, if not more so, over which guy I like more than the other. But, going by instinct, I’m going to say GN2 (I can hear my friends going “Nooooooo”). Even if he does have a girlfriend, that doesn’t mean that theres no chance there, and to be honest, at least he doesn’t ignore me like GN1.
Been there, done that ;)
