Some few days ago, my friend was lamenting as usual about his boring and single life, he's been trying to get himself a girlfriend for a while now but he never seem to get past the talking stage with anyone. And this wasn't because he was a bad guy or had a bad personality, but this was mainly because he was a bad texter, and unfortunately, most females wouldn't agree to meet up with you anywhere if you guys didn't connect properly over the phone.
It was while he was lamenting, that he had made a statement that resonated with me. He had said that if only people knew the real him, then he wouldn't be single, because he knows he's a great guy, the kind of person any woman would want to date, but unfortunately that isn't the case for him because they don't know him yet.
You see, everytime I keep finding myself in situations that keeps on making me wish that people could read my mind and know the real me and my true intentions, that way they wouldn't say or think some of the things that they think of me.
The other day at the field, I found myself arguing if a shot fired against my team was a goal or not, and while the opponent kept on insisting that it was a goal, I found myself swearing to them that it wasn't, telling them that if it was indeed a goal, I would be the first person to admit it.
But of course, they didn't believe me because they didn't know me that well. They didn't know that unless my life (or a life) was on the line or could possibly get hurt, I try not to tell any lies. It is a habit I've been training myself on for years now and it has been working perfectly well for me, making people trust me even more.
Honestly, I wish there was some kind of human feature that enables people to know the kind of person that you are when they first meet you, that will make a whole lot of things a lot easier, and hopefully help my friend get a girlfriend too.
