Three ways to get over "that feeling"

Ok, now if I had read this topic anywhere I would have thrashed this article the way I do always. I mean for god’s sake how can a book tell you “How to make friends”, “how to be successful in life”, “How to handle your love life”, blah blah and blah. Well for a matter of fact Sachin Tendulkar or Micheal Schumacher didn’t read these. They themselves told me. True story. These are all basically bull-shit. The only things I hate more than these books are multi level marketing schemes, Andrew Symonds and Shepu (a famous irritating green leafy vegetable cooked in maharashtrian families). See, as usual I have digressed from my topic but now getting back to it.

That feeling is when you have a first phone conversation that goes pretty well. You already had a crush on her. You think you have a chance this time. She is “the one” so on and so forth. You switch on the evaluation mode. It is like if you had a ctrl+alt+delete and if you press it this is one process that would be always getting executed in the background. You evaluate, you evaluate and you evaluate more. This is a pretty bad phase and I am going to give you three ways to get over “that feeling”.

Let us start with positivity first. The first way is to “win her”.  Either do every cliché or be unique or be straight forward or be natural. Whatever works for you. Some of them like it the “Shahrukh Khan” way. Promise them the moon, the stars and what all and what not. In the longer run both of you know that “GHANTA” that going to happen but it works trust me it does. Some others like other sensible and honest ways. Well those are beyond the scope of my article. We don’t discuss serious things here. Read those self-help books for this.

Second way is “lose her”. This is something that happens a lot of times in childhood. You like someone from the bottom and even the bottom of the heart. However alas you end up losing her. Her dad gets transferred. Your dad gets transferred. You are in Pakistan and either one of you is the next guinea pig in the suicide bombing school. These are a few general ways you can get over “that feeling”. Well these things happen in an exciting world. In a normal boring world it’s a rose day, you conjure up all your cojones and go up to her only to see her already holding a red rose and tears in her eyes. She says, “I said yes. Thank you for being there for me. I couldn’t have decided without the long late night discussions with you.” You suddenly go into flashback and see all the super long mobile bills. You thought they were investments but recession does strike my friend and it strikes hard. This is however the worst way because thoughts still keep lingering. You always feel there is a chance. This feeling lasts. It lasts till the next rose day and the cycle repeats.

The third way is a “major turn-off”. Initially it is always “just a crush” then it becomes “”just a movie”, “just a lunch”, and a few other “just a …”s. You feel it is all undercover. No one knows about it. You feel you are James Bond and none of your friends know what is going on. However it is often a case that your other friends are too busy being James Bond themselves to be worried about you. Ok now getting back to the third way, I often come to know these types of incidents from a random Mr. Gauresh Tandwani. He will come up to me and say, “Dude, she has got bad breath” or “Dude she talks too much”, “Dude she gives me a moustache complex” or “Dude, she is actually a he” or “Dude, she herself said I love you, pakka she is lying, kuch to locha hai”. This is actually the second best way to get out of “that feeling”. This is a fool proof way and trust Mr. Tandwani, it works. Here it goes. These are the three ways that I figured out. If you find any other ways feel free to add to the library.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Don’t take this article seriously. Even I don’t. Read it->smile->trash it. Most importantly, girls don’t think I am a misogynist. If you have your versions of this, I would love to read it.
