As a former boy, I think I can speak to this plainly. By "former boy" I mean that I have now grown into a man, no alteration in gender is implied.
Here's the thing about boys.
First you flirt with them. Then you drop hints. Then you keep arranging to run into them at various places. Then you stalk them for a while. Then you have long, rambling phone talks for hours. Then you meet his family. Then you talk about weddings, and what you want to do when you grow up, and what you're looking for in a boyfriend (describing him in as much detail as you dare).
Then one of his friends says, "That girl is totally into you."
And he is shocked. And not sure it's true. And thought you were just really close pals. And he's confused.

He should get it in a couple of days.
That's adorable. I guess that's the kind of questions you might get when your blog title contains the words "burning hearts"??
ReplyDeleteI guess so. I also used to get people coming looking for "Revolution Jeans." I never figured out what that was, exactly. :)
DeleteReminds me of this classic Dave Barry piece:

Nice one! Thanks for sharing, Matt.
DeleteOk, so is telling a man you love him even worse than telling a boy? Does it take two sledgehammers?
ReplyDeleteA real man will tell the woman he loves her before she gets a chance.
DeleteAMEN.
