Let’s play emotional tag!
Yes my dear friends it really is a very fun game.
You need the following:
1 boy and 1 girl, their respective hearts, some attraction and a bit of love.
Put the boy and girl together and let the fun and games begin.
Watch how the boy and girl get attracted to each other. And then how the boy chases after her. Confessing his undying, never-ending love. (Boo hiss!) Watch how he calls her 24/7. Watch how attentive he is. Watch how he’s an all round great guy.
And then watch how, when she reciprocates, he runs the other way. Watch how cool towards her he’s become. Watch how he tries to avoid her. Watch how he’s now an all round big fat tosser.
After this anything can happen. Girl realises boy is a tosser, leaves him and finds real love with with a nice guy. Or maybe tosser’s friends give him a good speaking to and he realises his mistake and tries to get girl back, but at this point girl has moved on. Ha! Good girl.
There are many endings, but every game is a lesson learnt. Makes it easier to identify tossers.
Do I sound cynical? Surely not. From experience there are many many tossers out there.
So girls, when you find a nice guy. Hang on to him. As the tossers outnumber nice guys 10 to 1. Nice guys are hard to come by even if he’s not exactly an oil painting or even if he’s kinda nerdy. Solid dependable guy wins "cute ass I wanna pinch" guy any day - hands down.
I’m playing a little game of emotional tag now. Can’t tell if he’s a tosser or nice guy yet. Watch this space and let’s see how long it will last. Nice one.
