this is a little bit of a rant

I feel the need to repeat something that people say over and over again, If you dont try, then you dont have the right to cry when the chance passes you by!

there is a guy I met a couple years ago, he's a friend of a friend of a friend, it was just by chance we changed emails during the maybe 3 face to face meetings we've had over the years, and we talk maybe once a month, update eachother on life, relations, trade stories, about a year ago, he was reqally depressed so i gavehim my cell number incase he ever wanted to talk about his problems, well today was the frist day he ever took me up on that offer, and it was to tell me that this friend of his, this girl, who as he decribed was the most perfect being on earth (dosen't the lovey dovey crush stuff just warm your heart?) had found herself a boyfriend.

I let him have his peice, let him tell me that he's falling apart he dosen't know what to do, that he loved her, that he's never been in love before or will after like he loved her, I listened to everything he had to say before taking a deep breath and asking the most important question, had he ever told her about his feelings?

I can't even to begin to tell people how much it bugs me, down right bothers me, when someone cries about a chance that has passes them by with them not even taking a shot at them.

If he would have told me that he had told her his feelings, I would have told him that it sucks, gave him my comfort, and loud him to cry at me for hours if it helped him, but know he told me, that he'd never said anything to her just 'Dropped hints', I stared off into space for about a minute, tring to remember where he lived so i could go smack him, before explaining to him that hints are great, but you cant expect people to be freaking mind readers, and that if he didn't say anything to her at all, then he cant really cry that sh found someone, because he never took teh risk needed to see what was going to happen, He couldn't expect any reward for it, I talked to him a little longer, talking to him, and after a little bit, he dried up, and said with what i can only decribe as the sound of a wet smiled, he told me that i had told him not what he wanted to hear but what a he needed to hear he said good bye and went on his way.

Long story short: I'm kinda tired of having to tell people over and over again, take a chance, the worst thats going to happen is you get regected, but then you pick yourself up and dust yourself off, and also, DON'T wait till someone is in a relationship to tell them how you feel, even if they did have feeling for you, your just putting them in an awful place, and if you really care about them, you wouldn't do it
