chatting with extremes

It was a rather exciting weekend as far as my online chat avatar is concerned. I had couple of very amusing discussions with two people who really were at two different extremes in their respective lives right now.

On one hand was this smart ass friend who was busy, in fact tired of, chasing girls away. This was after months of making them feel like a princess and sincere efforts to charm them to fall for him. But even with being sure of repeating this process again in future, he was totally confused on the reasons of his actions.

On the other extreme was this guy, who was leaving no stones unturned to allow someone make a fool of him after falling madly in love with her. He was really sure that she is the one for him. As sure as she was that he was not the one for her.

The irony is with both the fellas, the one who is sure about things is in a mess and the one who is as confused as any could be is...in a mess too :)....so where do one stand, which path is the sane one. What happened to the good old concept of vanilla love?? How many are into that anymore..?? I chatted with both hearing them out for hours...and couldn’t help wonder how come all this reaches this level. How come you not know that someone doesn’t love you the way you do and back off before it hits you so hard that you can’t act sane? And how can you play everything around you like a game where you first run and touch and then run in opposite direction. First drawing the 'subject' and testing whether they run towards you so that if they do not you run some more to touch them. It's like all trophies will be won but not kept.

Now that the weekend is over...and when I look back to these conversations…it occurs to me that i may have been laughing at the foolishness but it was no joke and things were serious...these are real people and how much ever i say that "dude, its not that complicated"...i think it is... I think I don’t have the ability to comprehend why people do insane things for love...or why people put themselves in situations which have no logical explanations…(oh me and my love for logics J)

It’s getting difficult day by day to keep believing “life is not as complicated as you think it is”, it might just be as complicated as you think. Love might just be as complicated as they say.
