(While I was writing this, he called me up to say that Nonoy has arrived and so I went back to their office and so we “talked” some more)

I hate flirts. I hate those who flirt just for the sake of flirting. I hate it when I don’t know what the guys are thinking and feeling. I hate mind games. I hate guys who lead me on. I hate it coz I easily get affected and I’m too assuming for my own good. Oh yeah I flirt too but I don’t flirt first, I just flirt back.There’s a huge difference

Anyways, I complained about my crush to a friend (who happens to be a close friend of Marvin). She half jokingly dared me to court this guy. She’s giving me till July 31 to make this guy my boyfriend for the price of an overnight stay at Marco Polo Hotel. Sigh…there’s that word again…dare. I can’t help it. I’m weak and I can’t say no. Anyways, I told her that I’ll think about it. Courting a guy..mmmm…I know it’s not uncommon these days, but it’s something I’ve never done before. I’m too prideful to actually admit to a guy my feelings without first ascertaining the outcome. That’s why I never told the only guy I love till now that I love him. I’m such a coward when it comes to admitting my feelings. I just wait for the guy to make the first move and that’s when I make my move. But I’ve learned my lesson. There was this perfect guy way back in college who was the campus crush. His name is Michael, he was my classmate. I admire him for his brains (highest WPA in campus), his kindness, gentleness, his aesthetic features (tall, fair and chinito), he plays the drums (sings like a cow though) and most of all his unwavering faith in God (Jesus Is Lord, amen!). I’ve wrote him letters but I never sent any and I even composed him a poem. I was that obsessed! He was single too but nobody dared to make a move on him until this flirty (read: unpretty but aggressive) girl courted him and within a month they became a couple and last time I heard they’re planning to get married. I should’ve made my move on him when I had the chance. I did send him a letter though during our graduation and confessed that I liked him but it was too late. The girl already had him firmly under her clutches.

At that time I vowed that the next time I meet someone like Michael I’ll throw caution to the wind and make it my mission in life to make him mine. Too bad Marvin is not another Michael. Else, I would’ve taken the dare. But on second thought I’ve got nothing better to do. Why not!? Deal!
