More than one

Everyone likes to be loved. Everyone craves to be loved. Be it a young boy stamping his feet for attention, or an old granny strutting along on the street. Love is sweet when fate and time collides, and create a cupid match. However, when you have more than a star shining for you, or when you fall for someone at the wrong time and wrong place, that is when trouble brews.

Lately, there are people around me who are troubled by the existance of more than one star in their or their beloved's life. They are predominantly female, largely also because most of my guy friends are still single, and available :p A particular case got to an all-time low when her beloved gave her negative answers in retrospect of her commitment questions. This sorta triggered some memories in me.

Are girls borned as natural flirts? Or do they unconsiciously flirt and leave behind a trail of smittened-admirers due to the effect of the almighty Oestrogen? Are they behaving in a way similar to animals, such that when one partner passes on or leaves them, they have a backup to spread their genes? :S Do girls not realise it when they lead you on? Maybe they see no harm in a lil flirting, teasing, now and then. However, my condolances to the poor girl whose heart flutters everytime she sees her, or when she says something positive about their r/s.

At this point in time, one may think that I am a staunch believer of loyalty in r/s, and strictly condemn flirting. On the contrary, I enjoy flirting. I enjoy it more than any of you can imagine. However, I believe in flirting at the right place, the right time, with the right person. Just as it is with falling in love, when you hit on someone, every element present on earth plus fate has to be on your side.

I have gone thru rejections. I know how it feels to be rejected. It's not the end of the world when you get rejected. Rejections can bittersweet. The process of standing up again from your fall can be enjoyable. Esp so in the case when you perserve and enjoy a happy ending tog ;)
